CO I like that, (better than crash, ames :p)

ames how sweet of you to call me a cabbage, its my name on the CR but I, am not, a cabbage. a shame you dont know me in real life 🙂

btw, I think our comments crossed paths 🙂

ames what was the cabbage comment in reference to? where you translating my name for crashoverride? 🙂

crashoverride your name is WAY to long, gotta come up with a shortened version 🙂

I see I missed a bunch of action here this morning, and I wasnt too missed 🙂

S

🙂

does she respect any part of frumkeit? 🙂 maybe appeal to a different part of her and go to a nursing home or something with her if shes the type… lots of people do it and really enjoy it. (is it a she or a he?) I wish you luck with this one, its not easy 🙂

anonymisss, did you forget anyone there? how old do you think I am anyway? 🙂

David, I’m not too good at this but I remember hearing a story from the gemarah where (maybe) someone walked into the marketplace and asked eliyahu hanavi who, that was in the marketplace would be getting gan eden and he walked over to two people and pointed to them. later they asked them what they did that they would be zoche to olam haba and they said they made people laugh. I fixed a few details but I’ve heard the story several times, and the actual story is definitely true. I’m not overly learned so this is the probably the best I could do and I have no clue where you could find it but I’m sure if you dont know it then someone else on this board did because its probably very popular, because I never learned gemarah in my life. I apologize because I highly doubt this was the sort of source you were looking for. 🙂

one question, is your boss jewish? because I think it would make it very different if he is… 🙂

why throw it out and c”v be over on baal tashchis? eating them is the mehadrin min hamehadrin opinion 😉

anonymisss lol I wasnt worried what someone else had, I worried about it because it was mine and he stole it 😉

If Restaurants Functioned Like Microsoft

Patron: Waiter!

Waiter: Hi, my name is Bill, and I’ll be your Support. What seems to be the problem?

Patron: There’s a fly in my soup!

Waiter: Try again, maybe the fly won’t be there this time.

Patron: No, it’s still there.

Waiter: Maybe it’s the way you’re using the soup. Try eating it with a fork instead.

Patron: Even when I use the fork, the fly is still there.

Waiter: Maybe the soup is incompatible with the bowl. What kind of bowl are you using?

Patron: A SOUP bowl!

Waiter: Hmmm, that should work. Maybe it’s a configuration problem. How was the bowl set up?

Patron: You brought it to me on a saucer. What has that to do with the fly in my soup?!

Waiter: Can you remember everything you did before you noticed the fly in your soup?

Patron: I sat down and ordered the Soup of the Day!

Waiter: Have you considered upgrading to the latest Soup of the Day?

Patron: You have more than one Soup of the Day each day??

Waiter: Yes, the Soup of the Day is changed every hour.

Patron: Well, what is the Soup of the Day now?

Waiter: The current Soup of the Day is tomato.

Patron: Fine. Bring me the tomato soup, and the check. I’m running late now.

[waiter leaves and returns with another bowl of soup and the check]

Waiter: Here you are, Sir. The soup and your check.

Patron: This is potato soup.

Waiter: Yes, the tomato soup wasn’t ready yet.

Patron: Well, I’m so hungry now, I’ll eat anything.

[waiter leaves.]

Patron: Waiter! There’s a gnat in my soup!

The check:

Soup of the Day . . . . . . . $5.00

Upgrade to newer Soup of the Day. . $2.50

Access to support . . . . . . $1.00

mod please delete my earlier post Done!

moish I just got what you mean, I am way overtired.

Is that what I seem like? aunt bea? and you said I wasnt being nice to you so far… :p

I actually phrased it very wrong, I intended to say you have the potential for a greater relationship with Hashem and to be much closer to him. maybe its not now, but one day. this is happening for a reason and He knows what youll look like in a year and in three years and in five years physically and spiritually. maybe you have to go through something now to end up helping teens at risk, because you know what it feels like or whatever. (just made this up off the top of my head, 4 am and being very tired I think I’m still ok) about the automatic thing I dont think the love hashem has for his children is automatic, or maybe it is because everyone is loved by Hashem as long as their jewish, regardless of how far they went off. but the relationship itself is so much relating to Hashem, and the connection to Him, it cant be just called automatic. yeah, a father is automatically loving his child but there is love and love. 🙂

bk sorry, I had no idea. if it makes you feel any better, it happened to me a few times with jokes. I guess it makes a difference which mod you have… and mod 39 didnt come on yet anyway 🙂

is it me or did the font on YW (not only the CR) get much bigger? 🙂

this thread is a goner without me 🙂

The Stella Awards

The “Stella” awards rank up there with the Darwin awards. Stella Liebeck is the 81 year old lady who spilled coffee on herself and sued McDonalds. This case inspired an annual award: The “Stella” Award – for the most frivolous lawsuits in the U. S.

The following are this year’s candidates:

1. January 2000: Kathleen Robertson of Austin, Texas was awarded $780,000 by a jury of her peers after breaking her ankle tripping over a toddler who was running inside a furniture store. The owners of the store were understandably surprised at the verdict, considering the misbehaving little brat was Ms. Robertson’s son.

2. June 1998: A 19 year old Carl Truman of Los Angeles won $74,000 and medical expenses when his neighbor ran over his hand with a Honda Accord. Mr. Truman apparently didn’t notice there was someone at the wheel of the car, when he was trying to steal his neighbor’s hubcaps.

3. October 1998: A Terrence Dickson of Bristol, Pennsylvania was leaving a house he had just finished robbing by way of the garage. He was not able to get the garage door to go up since the automatic door opener was malfunctioning. He couldn’t re-enter the house because the door connecting the house and garage locked when he pulled it shut. The family was on vacation. Mr. Dickson found himself locked in the garage for eight days. He subsisted on a case of Pepsi he found, and a large bag of dry dog food. He sued the homeowner’s insurance claiming the situation caused him undue mental anguish. The jury agreed to the tune of half a million dollars.

4. October 1999: Jerry Williams of Little Rock, Arkansas was awarded $14,500 and medical expenses after being bitten on the buttocks by his next door neighbor’s beagle. The beagle was on a chain in its owner’s fenced-in yard. The award was less than sought because the jury felt the dog might have been just a little provoked at the time by Mr. Williams who was shooting it repeatedly with a pellet gun.

5. May 2000: A Philadelphia restaurant was ordered to pay Amber Carson of Lancaster, Pennsylvania $113,500 after she slipped on a soft drink and broke her coccyx. The beverage was on the floor because Ms. Carson threw it at her boyfriend 30 seconds earlier during an argument.

6. December 1997: Kara Alton of Claymont, Delaware successfully sued the owner of a night club in a neighboring city when she fell from the bathroom window to the floor and knocked out her two front teeth. This occurred while Ms. Walton was trying to sneak through the window in the ladies room to avoid paying the $3.50 cover charge. She was awarded $12,000 and dental expenses.

And the winner is:

Mr. Merv Grazinski of Oklahoma City. In November 2000 Mr. Grazinski purchased a brand new 32 foot Winnebago motor home. On his first trip home, having joined the freeway, he set the cruise control at 70 mph and calmly left the drivers seat to go into the back and make himself a cup of coffee. Not surprisingly, the Winnie left the freeway, crashed and overturned. Mr. Grazinski sued Winnebago for not advising him

in the handbook that he couldn’t actually do this. He was awarded $1,750,000 plus a new Winnie. (Winnebago actually changed their handbooks on the back of their court case, just in case there are any other complete morons buying their vehicles).

anon wasnt it that the chofetz chaim had clothing ready to take when mashiach came? 🙂

I remember once hearing that when a person gets dressed they should look in the mirror and ask themselves if they would be embarrassed to great mashiach in it 🙂

ames and anonymisss 😉

I see the CR functions rather well during my absence…;)

mepal and anonymisss, thanx for the compliment 🙂

anonymisss I just saw your question now. like I said before (meant to anyway) everyone has their own package (me included) it doesnt mean you need to think about it all day but that when you think about it, you feel bad, and ask Hashem for help to get you through it. I cant imagine anyone thinks about their problems all day and if they do, IMO, thats ridiculous because a person is supposed to serve Hashem through simcha (with a certain amount of allotted down time) and if a person is overcome with his problems, then how can he serve Hashem through simcha? (btw, you are allowed more “down” time because the problem is pretty recent, but I was hoping you would be completely better by now I wasnt in the CR for a while but I didnt forget you in davening)

I cant personally attest to this but its been said (I dont know by whom) that if a person was offered a tray of “pekelach” he would still choose his own. I’ll repeat what I told moish before, if a person is born to accomplish something on this world, and they dont because they prefer not to be tested, then what was the point of being born. another thing, I guarantee Hashem will compensate you in gan eden.

am I making you think about this more? if I am and this is making it worse, than I’ll stop here :):):):):)

moish I just skimmed through some old posts but I think its that if you’re being tested now, you have the potential for Hashems love that can be greater, but only if YOU work for it 🙂

what happened to myshadow? she was a staunch updater of the email thread…

myshadow, (your shadow, whatever) queen kapusta is missing you. come back!!! 🙂

moish those are dangerous lines of thinking for a public forum 😉 and who said the cop was a guy? 🙂

bookworm, any info on the OP? 🙂

back to my phone (or lack thereof) I never considered myself so obsessed with my phone and when I lost it I was devastated (literally!) I think i was more relieved to hear that it was stolen than if it had just been lost. my two cents is that its hergel, like ames car, if you use something often, you develop a superficial connection to it. material possesions are a part of you, and maybe you (not you per say) devote time to it, but thats the way the world is supposed to be. we are not supposed to be completely ruchniyus. so you develop an attachment to the material possessions you have now, not what you had. 🙂

some food for thought: if it meant so much to you, then you would be reluctant to give it up, if you dont remember it, or miss it, then it means on the general scale, it didnt mean too much to you which IMO,(well probably everybodys) is a good thing. 🙂

ICOT: R

moish: take it as you like, I’ll leave this one up to your melamdishe brain :p

and btw, seeallsides did not gie you a compliment, it was given to someone moshe 😉

so the update on my phone… I activated my old phone for right now because I’m not gonna function without a phone but maybe I can wheedle verizon into sending me a new one cuz I’m such a good queen (I might give the CR as a reference :p) so for now alls well that ends well. 🙂

anonymisss lol enough with the joking (although you seem pretty much back to normal) I really hope you’re doing better!!! now back to the joking…

if you ever foun a sponser for israel, find me one for a new phone 😉 I miss my other one :/
