mw13: I think he tried that, and thats where he got into trouble 😉 (am I about to be reprimanded?)
scream all you want, I’m good! 🙂
I think queen kapusta has made a new friend… and btw, I’m nice to EVERYONE not just on the CR lol but on a more serious note I dont mind being screamed at I dont generally take offense, dont worry about me 🙂
yea I was too, annoying part is I’m pretty sure I know who took it 🙁 thank G-d I was able to restore my contacts from verizon I dont know what I would’ve done if not 🙂
batul torah 🙂
I think I see a shtikle melamed shining through 😉
AOB sorry, re-ask away! 🙂
AOB people who have a condescending attitude toward the “yeshivish” community and knock them 🙂
ok, but dont be too hard al tiftach peh lsatan…jk 🙂
see the coffee beans thread, you’ll feel for me 🙂
AOB: quiet is more like, knows things but knows how/when to keep his mouth shut very quiet is like doesnt know what to say so he’ll just keep quiet this making sense to you? I understand it but its hard to put into words. 🙂
AOB the best way I can explain it is posters who arent necessarily part of the “yeshivish” community. still wonderful jews, but maybe not people who keep every chumra
torahtziva: I think April 8, erev pesach
🙂

moish do you WANT someone to scream at you? cuz I’m available… you saw what I went through… 🙂

I wasnt referring to lying, theres a big difference between lying and just avoiding the truth. this really isnt what I had in mind but say for a shidduch (this is a hypothetical question) if theres a quiet person or a very quiet person. the very can make a big difference. if the person is actually on the quieter side, maybe closer to very quiet, but if you say the person is very quiet the shidduch wont even be considered, is it better to be more truthful if you know in the long run theres a chance of it working out?
NOTE: a shidduch is not a “general” example, and it wasnt really what I had in mind, do you get what I’m trying to say? I’ll try to come up with something better.
🙂
moish I’m all for it but is that really a middah? isnt a middah a character trait like how you interact with other people? I still like it though. 🙂
on a side note, sometimes you can be too honest, if it ends up hurting someone, is it better to be honest? or embellish a little? (I’m not talking about lying, theres being honest and being honest) 🙂
anonymisss totally agree with you 🙂
anyone wanna start another game? no time now and probably no time to update but I’d love to take part 🙂
ames you wanna share it with me? 🙂 save your friend a step… 🙂
bookworm who wrote the book youre talking about? It sounds great, I’d love to read it 🙂
was the OP coments regarding shidduchim? I understood it as relationships in general, for shidduchim theres a lot more to consider than just a general friendship. it depends on the people involved and the ages, theres no blanket statement. 🙂
anonymisss I’m happy to hear youre doing better! I’ll repeat if you would like to email me and talk, I’m here. I’m happy my posts accomplished something. 🙂
about my phone, I did backup assistant through verizon, so I also hope I can retrieve my contacts. 🙂
btw, lol and thanx for the :):):):):)
ICOT lol! 🙂
5. a little branch of my last point, G-d does not choose anyone for anything, only people who can handle nisyonos. Its done with a tremendous amount of love and just keep that in mind.
I could use a little of this myself now, I need some cheering up. I’m so giving myself away here, but my phone was stolen last night. I’m so upset :(!!! but, in classic kapusta tradition :):):):):)
now go back on topic… 🙂
squeak, all good ones! 🙂
moish whoa! saying youre preventing your friends from moving up and bringing them down is very different. 🙂
anonymisss good points, I wanted to ask you, now that we’re off topic already, how youre doing? 🙂
in that case I sincerely apologize. what happened to the rest? any reply? 🙂
I just read through the other posts,
moish 1. whoever said that youre the evildoer of your friends can not tell you that for the simple reason they cant judge you, everyone does it, but that doesnt mean its right and it means from where you stand, you dont have to take it. the guy was never in your shoes.
2. to go a bit off topic here, not everyone is cut out for learning. the guy who learns an hour a day, is still doing something if, considering his current level, its an improvement. the idea is to improve, not to be a learning machine. many guys may acheive their goal of improving through learning. but it doesnt mean its the only way.
3. I dont know anything about your friends, but honestly IMO, you care more than most people who are not frum. I cant imagine that youre the one pulling them down.

AOB your board looks the way its supposed to!!! 🙂
jotd? I see this thread doesnt function without me… I’ll try to post something soon, not sure if I’ll have time though 🙂
kapusta is me and only me sorry guys 🙂 haQer sounds suspiciously like ujm or will hill/hill of beans anyone with me? 🙂
I’m very late here but I saw a post early this morning and I’m just able to come on the CR now, I didnt read anything since the second or third post in this discussion so I hope I’m not repeating anything
moish: kapusta, but at the end of the day, who is the one who had it easier? the guy with less pulling him away, right? so there’s not much that will prevent him from reaching what he’s supposed to. the other guy may be a lot greater if and only if he ever actually gets anywhere in life. it’s a lot harder for him to even make a tiny move.
a few points:
1. no one ever said life is gonna be easy, and if it is, is that what youre looking to do? make everything easy? (I could quote someone, anything worth doing is worth doing well) but you can say that for anything.
2. if there are two guys, one has more temptation than the other, if the guy with more temptation does what the other ones job is, and gets the easy job, then what did he accomplish for himself? and who is supposed to do his job?
3. compare this to a man and a woman. both have a yetzer hara in different areas. for the man its easy to say that dressing modestly is easy. for the woman its easy to say that not learning is easy. no one is talking about the commandments given to them so what does it hurt? does that mean G-d shouldve created only men or only women?
4. circumstances in life are not always very peachy, the point is to rise up and do something about it, one example is (or this is the story I know anyway) Zichron Shlomo Refuah Fund was started, when “Shlomo” died of cancer. I think I can safely guarantee you that the family was devastated with this, but look how many people are constantly being helped from this? its not easy, but g-d chose them for special work.
5. a little branch of my last point, G-d does not choose anyone for anything, only people who can handle nisyonos. Its done with a tremendous amount of love and just keep that in mind.

sorry for rambling 🙂
S
you’re tough! 🙂
dont run from your problems; you dont solve them, you just get out of breath 🙂
jothar and anonymisss both great ones!!! 🙂
resurrected from the almost dead, anyone want to start again? 🙂
and the famous…:
a cop pulls somebody over.
Cop: your eyes are glazed, have you been drinking?
reply: your eyes, are also glazed, have you been eating donuts?
🙂
life is tough, but its tougher if you’re stupid 🙂
Who says cops don’t have a sense of humor?
“The handcuffs are tight because they’re new. They’ll stretch out after you wear them awhile.”
“If you run, you’ll only go to jail tired.”
“So, you don’t know how fast you were going. I guess that means I can write anything I want on the ticket, huh?”
“Yes sir, you can talk to the shift supervisor, but I don’t think it will help. Oh, did I mention that I am the shift supervisor?”
“Warning! You want a warning? O.K., I’m warning you not to do that again or I’ll give you another ticket.”
“The answer to this last question will determine whether you are drunk or not. Was Mickey Mouse a cat or dog?”
“Yeah, we have a quota. Two more tickets and my wife gets a toaster oven.”
“In God we trust, all others are suspects.”
“No sir, we don’t have quotas anymore. We used to have quotas, but now we’re allowed to write as many tickets as we want.”
“Just how big were those two beers?

wheres Itzik?
wheres Joseph?
this place is too quiet lately (I apologize if that sounds offensive, it is completely not intended as such)

K for kapusta
🙂
moish I have to give you this one and tell you it sounds to me that youre describing a very, girly, girl. no matter what anyone tells you, everyone has their own pekela. about the second question, both people are doing what G-d intended for them to do on this world, not the next guy, them. when its time for the next world, the guy who got everything good asks if its fair, if he had the chance to accomplish great things, no one ever told him just how great it was.
ames I think your idea for a thread is a completely lost cause.
