kapustaParticipantI think theres a video like this on aish.com
The Mayonnaise Jar and 2 Cups of Coffee
When things in your lives seem almost too much to handle, when 24 hours in a day are not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar and the 2 cups of coffee.
A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, he wordlessly picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.
The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls . He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was.
The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with an unanimous “yes.”
The professor then produced two cups of coffee from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar effectively filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed.
“Now,” said the professor as the laughter subsided, “I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important things–your family, your children, your health, your friends and your favorite passions–and if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full.
The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house and your car.
The sand is everything else–the small stuff. “If you put the sand into the jar first,” he continued, “there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff you will never have room for the things that are important to you.
“Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Play with your children. Take time to get medical checkups. Take your spouse out to dinner. Play another 18. There will always be time to clean the house and fix the disposal. Take care of the golf balls first–the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand.”
One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the coffee represented. The professor smiled. “I’m glad you asked.
“It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem, there’s always room for a couple of cups of coffee with a friend.”
Please share this with someone you care about. I JUST DID

kapustaParticipantames, yiddish? from you?
ok, this went something like this (I might be improvising a little)
you spend the first 40 years of your life worrying what everyone else thinks of you, then you spend the rest of it realizing that no one was interested
🙂

in case that was a repeat…
A young woman teacher with obvious liberal tendencies explains to her class of small children that she is an atheist. She asks her class if they are atheists too. Not really knowing what atheism is but wanting to be like their teacher, their hands explode into the air like fleshy fireworks.
There is, however, one exception. A beautiful girl named Lucy has not gone along with the crowd. The teacher asks her why she has decided to be different.
“Because I’m not an atheist.”
Then, asks the teacher, “What are you?”
“I’m a Christian.”
The teacher is a little perturbed now, her face slightly red. She asks Lucy why she is a Christian.
“Well, I was brought up christian. My mom is a Christian, and my dad is a Christian, so I am a Christian.”
The teacher is now angry. “That’s no reason,” she says loudly.
“What if your mom was a moron, and your dad was a moron. What would you be then?”
She paused, and smiled. “Then,” says Lucy, “I’d be an atheist.”
kapustaParticipantthis might be a repeat, but I actually checked through this page and the last one to see if it was on here, didnt find it.
Two old men are sitting together talking in the park. their wives are sitting on the next bench, talking to each other.

A highway patrolman pulled alongside a speeding car on the freeway. Glancing at the car, he was astounded to see that the elderly woman behind the wheel was knitting!
The trooper cranked down his window and yelled to the driver, “PULL OVER!”
“NO!” the woman yelled back, “Cardigan!”
🙂

Time heals all wounds, hope yours works itself out real soon and you have a relaxing shabbos and you can recharge your batteries. can I suggest another trip to Israel, goes together with smiling; cant hurt.
ok, I do really hope that things brighten up, just know that Hashem is holding your hand right now and only giving you what you can handle, He knows you better than you know yourself and Hes hurting with you, and waiting for the second when everything will be all better, He wants it even more than you do. I give you my sincere bracha that you clearly see yad Hashem in this and recognize the good through it all and that you see everything turning out for the best 🙂

kapustaParticipantOne’s dignity may be assaulted, vandalized and cruelly mocked, but cannot be taken away unless it is surrendered.
A man doesn’t know what happiness is until he’s married. By then it’s too late.
A married couple are well suited when both partners usually feel the need for a quarrel at the same time.
Formula for success: Rise early, work hard, strike oil.

kapustaParticipantames your friends are on an anonymous CR board, not in real life (said with heavy heavy sarcasm, buddy, I hope you realize I’m jk) :):):):):)
kapustaParticipantnow i know what you think of me – & i’m insulted 🙂
kapustaParticipantsqueak thanx for the nomination, lol but I think I have a few titles already, you think theres room for another one? why not? I accept! all kapustas titles, queen, board member, and now joke of the day gabbai (is gabbai also for females?)
btw, I never actually said your jokes were so awful, but I think you got voted down because you made such high standards for yourself with your own humor (yes, there was a compliment in there,) 🙂
kapustaParticipantAOB: you’ve never actually said you’re a girl, its been implied, but never actually said
