Gog; Too funny! Actually I had a feeling someone would mention Mrs. Dash here.
DY; also funny
Reminds me of another thing on the internet regarding the pillsbury dough boy.
gefenParticipantRabbi Perfect – I was just going to search the internet to see if I could find the poem and post it here. Then I read your post.
So,I did look it up but it says that it may not be reprinted or posted without permission. So I guess I can’t do that. But for anyone who wants to read it, look up the Dash Poem by Linda Ellis.
Here’s the link – but I don’t know if it will be allowed here.
nope
gefenParticipantI expected those kinds of responses. So here’s the story. At my father in law’s hakomas matzeiva, one of the speakers who is a good family friend, said that if we look around at all the matzeivos, there is one thing in common, between the dates of birth and death is a DASH. (ok, so not all the matzeivos had a dash but we got his point). He proceeded to read a poem about how we fill in our DASH.
I will try to get a copy of it and post it here. It was quite meaningful.
Stay tuned. I hope to post it soon.
gefenParticipantWell all of you on the east coast are finished with your fast. We still have to wait!!!!!!!!!!!!! Think of us as you feast. ๐
gefenParticipantpostsemgirl, Smile E Face, & Syag:
You’re all WRONG. It’s MY 7-11. And I didn’t see any of you there. Oh wait, I wasn’t there. But my son was. He said said the lines were way too long and he had to get back to work (a block away from OUR 7-11) so he missed out on his free slurpee ๐
Hey I heard they’re giving out free slurpees tomorrow for all of us who missed it. ๐
gefenParticipantcuteness: I would have answered you a while ago but for some reason, I couldn’t sign in. I don’t know if it was a problem with my computer or the website.
Anyway here are a few things I heard about her- She was always doing for others. The word “no” was not in her vocabulary. Ask her for a favor and it’s done – many times you didn’t even have to ask her.
There is couple who is working at the camp where the Shulmans are, who have a disabled child and needed someone to take care of the child so they could work. They approached Ayala and told her not to feel badly if she has to say no because it’s a hard job. They proceeded to tell her everything that would have to be done to take care of their child. Her answer- “of course I’ll do it”. She started working for them, I believe on Wednesday. The parents were so thrilled with her.The mother of the child approached Mrs. Shulman and told her those were the best 5 hours of their lives.
But she only got to work for them one day. Then tragedy struck.
So so sad…..
If I remember any of the other stories, I will IY”H post them later.
I can also tell you that the parents and the whole family are amazing people. I remember the Shulman girls (not the boys so much because they were on the men’s side of shul) when they were little. We used to daven in the same shul until we moved to a diff neighborhood.
gefenParticipantoomis – Thank you for validating my thoughts. We’ve also experienced things in our immediate family at various times that we took as simanim. In fact other family memebers also have such stories.
Yes – it can be comforting.
syag – Don’t be hard on yourself for not going to the levaya. It’s totally understandable. I’m sorry for the losses you’ve experienced in your life.
gefenParticipantpixelate – Thanks. We will look it up IY”H.
The Chassidishe Gatesheader – “That’s what many Chabadniks did, by the way” They did? I work with a lot of Lubavitchers. They don’t seem to have lost the faith they had before. Do you know specifically of chabad people who left yiddishkeit after the rebbe passed away?
Also you wrote “I promise you Moshiach will come during my lifetime! (Chabad, Rav Kaduri…)” Now I’m asking this question seriously; how could they promise? We see it didn’t happen yet. So what does this mean?
gefenParticipantpixelate- I’ve never heard of that. I was also taught since childhood that Moshiach has to come by the year 6000. So according to the rabbi in the shiur you heard, what happens to this world at the year 6000? Does Moshiach come and then another world is created? Or does this world just get destroyed – chas v’shalom – without having Moshiach? Which shiur on Torahanytime was it? My daughter likes to listen to shiurim on there. Maybe she can help me find it.
gefenParticipant147- Good idea. Thanks.
Midwesterner – Thank you for mentioning who the speaker was. Yes – it was indeed a very powerfully emotional affair!
gefenParticipantOh Shreck! – Thank you so much for your post! I was really worried that I had written something inappropriate- Chas V’Shalom. I’m so glad you understood me.
gefenParticipantwritersoul – sorry – i hadn’t even seen your post when I posted mine. (if you look – both of ours were put up 3 hrs ago, they probably hit at the same time). So please don’t take offense at what I wrote. It’s some of the other comments that I was referring to. It just sounds to me like they are joking about a serious topic.
gefenParticipantNO NO NO – THAT’S NOT WHAT I MEANT. Please don’t misunderstand. I even said I wasn’t sure I was telling over his speech correctly about what the banner is referring to. It’s hard to remember everything that’s said when you’re in an emotional state.
It was just that the balloon came down when he spoke about the banner. I just felt she was there and PERHAPS sending it down at that moment. Believe me, I came away with a lot from that levaya but certainly NOT THAT A BALLOON IS A SIGN OF MOSHIACH.
Btw – there is no such thing as a random happening.
gefenParticipantI thought this was going to be a serious topic. I guess not.
gefenParticipantBuy a steering wheel cover. even though it seems like a warm material, it doesn’t feel warm and it’s certainly better than the hot leather of the wheel!
gefenParticipantOne of my daughters would love a dolphin! But….. we don’t have room in our bathtub ๐ Any suggestions?
gefenParticipantCan you set one up in chicago? how about a sleep away camp for women?
gefenParticipantEclipse +100000
gefenParticipantWhat’s a triennial service?
gefenParticipantI started this thread a while ago:
http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/is-anyone-else
gefenParticipantPopa – “For someone so easily offended, you sure do seem callous about offending others.”
+10000
SGenendel – “I just think it’s awesome that I understand the psychology behind it.”
Oy – do you have issues! You actually think you know exactly why ppl do things? Wow! BTW – Thou protesteth too much! And you sound so bitter. I think I know exactly why your hosts locked their doors.(now i’m the one who knows why ppl do things)
gefenParticipantme? or yummy cupcake?
gefenParticipantCuriosity – True – we should not be bashing anyone. We can and should express our opinions nicely. I hope I didn’t offend the OP. Please forgive me Slichosgenendel if I did.
gefenParticipantPopa – I am actually in agreement with you ๐ (remember all our good arguments in the past?)
But seriously, SLICHOSGENENDEL- what is wrong with someone locking their bedroom door? It’s their home and their business. Maybe they didn’t have time to clean up, maybe they were being cautious – yes frum people can be snoopy and look into people’s personal stuff. I’ve heard stories. Whatever their reason, it’s none of your business. It’s not weird at all! As someone else pointed out, be grateful that they let u use their home. I hope you brought them a gift to thank them.
gefenParticipantOr maybe their rooms are a mess and didn’t want you to see it.
gefenParticipantI think they should have one elevator for women and one for men. Forget about the Shabbat elevator. ๐
gefenParticipantI understand the thing about us having a right to our privacy. I get it. HOWEVER – we live in a crazy world now and I believe the government should do whatever they can to protect us. Hey – I have nothing to hide – I’m not planning on blowing up anyone, etc.. So why should I care if they have my phone and email records?
But now that the terrorists know about this, they will find another way to communicate – great! What do we do now????
gefenParticipantI also know a few people and they know me.
gefenParticipantYup- I certainly do remember WEVD and Art Raymond -Avraham Yitzchok (I think that’s what he used to say his name is)
Anyway I listened to it all the time. When I moved to Chicago, I really missed it.
I gather from the first post that it’s not around anymore.
Is Art Raymond still around? If so, does he still have a radio show?
gefenParticipantOnoffonofff: Feeling better yet? It’s almost over. And if you’re on the east coast- which I’m assuming you are, then consider yourself lucky, we have an hour more than you.
gefenParticipantWhen you get the money, can I be your best friend? Pleeeeeeze?
gefenParticipantWow! Pretty powerful, playtime. +100000
It really bothers me when I read some of the comments here. You never know what impact it can have on someone. Just because we are anonymous (most of us, anyway) doesn’t mean we don’t have feelings. It’s just as much of an aveira to hurt someone here as it is in person.
gefenParticipantBy the time you finish this conversation, the fast might be over already. So keep posting. Time flies when ur having fun. Oh wait, we’re not supposed to have fun today. ๐
gefenParticipanthaifagirl- Thanks- let’s see what happens. ๐
gefenParticipantalways striving: I’m calling your bluff. Tell me something about me that won’t give me away, but that I’ll believe that you know me.
gefenParticipantHaifagirl – Don’t wonder too much. I don’t think always striving knows either of us. He/she was just being funny.
iluvbeingjewish: um… we’re both female. I’m married. I don’t know about haifagirl. But anyway….no shower for the 2 of us.
gefenParticipantGamanit: I was referring to the way people write it (as writersoul mentioned).
Haifagirl: I understand you get irritated when people speak or write incorrectly, but please don’t be so hard on them – specifically Shopping613. I really think this thread should just be a fun thread. I myself do not claim to have good grammar. In fact when asked what language I speak fluently, I say none – not even English ๐
gefenParticipantAnd this MUST to be said with the proper Yiddish/Boro Park/ Villamsburgh accent:
“Yoiiiish I can’t even tell you how stunning she looked. You won’t believe! Mamush unbelivable” (yes – I spelled (spelt-hehe) unbelievable that way because that’s how it’s pronounced in this situation) Actually it could also be “unbeleeeeevable”
gefenParticipantThis is also not said only by Jews; but what’s with the “could of” and “should of”. It’s “have” not “of”.
gefenParticipantCome on, I want to hear some more examples. This is hilarious and true. I’ve heard them so many times. One of my daughters actually uses the “I’m being by my friend….” expression.
gefenParticipantOMG – I had totally forgotten about this thread. Even when I opened it up now, I was surprised to see that it was started by me. How funny (or pathetic) is that?
So – Hi Haifagirl! Still don’t know who you are, not that I’ve been actively trying to find out. But if you want to give any more hints, it might be fun. ๐
Playtime – you mean dating sites are more important than this thread? I can’t believe it. ๐
gefenParticipantThanks to all who recommended adblock. As I said, I will IY”H try it. I have to get my son to help me with it as he is much more computer saavy than I.
gefenParticipantThat’s funny, when I wrote bump, none of the other comments had shown up yet. So I guess we can ignore the bump post.
Anyway:
Stupendous – of course I’ve heard them, but you would think that on frum web sites it wouldn’t be a problem. btw – ur on here too ๐
writersoul- yeah – I used to only see kosher ads on ywn, onlysimchas, etc. but lately these others are popping up. Ichsa!!!
alwaysmile- thanks for the suggestion. I will try it. But will it prevent me from seeing things i want to, like when i’m on a shopping site or if someone sends an email with an attachment or link?
gefenParticipantBump?
gefenParticipantHey Smile E. Face – haven’t seen you here in a long time ๐
gefenParticipantOh Schreck! I got your joke (by your first post) and thought it was funny. It’s good to be humorous sometimes.
gefenParticipantpopa – yeah ur right. we are the midwest, not middle america. my bad. hey I’m from new york, what do i know about the rest of the country? ๐
gefenParticipantlesschumras – IT’S NOT OK! Thanks for asking.
popa – Are you meeting midwesterner in starbucks again? Maybe we can all have a cr get together there. BTW – we’ve installed sidewalks since you’ve last been here. ๐
May 28, 2013 9:38 pm at 9:38 pm in reply to: Using chessed vouchers for shabbos shoes๏ฟฝno. 2 #955974gefenParticipant95 – you still didn’t tell me why my comment was deleted.
On the first thread, somebody posted that these vouchers were not something given as tzedaka to people, which made the entire thread a mistake.
After a day or two, nobody had disputed that. So I assumed it was true. So I closed the thread.
This thread was opened for the purpose of discussing the hypothetical issue of whether it is appropriate to take tzedaka for shabbos shoes. Your comment went back to the vouchers, which seemed to be reigniting the mistake. So I deleted it. I’m sorry if this insulted you.
Since then, it has been claimed that perhaps these vouchers really are given as tzedaka. I have no idea what the case is.
gefenParticipanthaifa – Nobody said you’re thin skinned. It’s just that people do appreciate when others agree with them, or stick up for them. But,I guess it doesn’t matter to you.
Also Health has a history of…shall we say…. not being so nice (to put it mildly).
