    Ohh, I knew I should’ve left the earwax alone… Seriously, that was actually kind of funny. More than just my subtitle. 🙂

    observe, thanks for the list. I’m not generally an angry person and maybe this will sound bad but I don’t want to just find a way to keep calm, I want to fix the situation. To me, keeping calm is just a band aid.

    AYC, thanks for the practical suggestions. And I like the middos improving thing.

    I don’t want to get involved in a debate now but I’ll say this anyway.

    oomis, are you translating higher level as more Jewish? I don’t know that anyone is more Jewish than someone else, either someone is or isn’t. A higher level is definitely possible.

    ZK, did you get that comment at the super belittling and condescending post store?

    Thank you. I really appreciate it.

    About the Ohr Naava thing, could you tell me a little more about what things it may involve? Also is there a way to contact her through email?

    Thanks again.

    AYC-

    Thank you for your reply. I don’t think it would work for her, and hopefully its more of a one time thing. I tried telling someone else, and it didn’t really help the situation.

    Could you tell me a little more about the Ohr Naava thing?

    Thanks for the last line. I needed it now. 🙂

    -If the recipient(s) not only do not acknowledge your efforts but actually give you grief, then you need to reevaluate if perhaps your energies are better used elsewhere.

    Something happened a few days ago where I went out of my way to help someone and I felt very used. I decided exactly as you wrote, that if it bothers me so much, its better not to do it at all. But it’s still my problem. I was bothered by what she did, but if it wouldn’t bother me, I would still be doing the Chessed. (That was a question in statement form)

    Also, i while reading your post i kept thinking… does Hashem have the same question for us?

    Like they say, the truth hurts. Thank you for mentioning.

    One thing that I find to be true is that the one little cheat is more than that. The cake or cookie or ice cream will influence cravings later. That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t cheat. I believe the best way to succeed on a diet is to set up a cheat system (stick to the diet the whole week and get a small piece of cake for Shabbos or allow yourself four bites of cheat food over a day, etc). After the “cheat”, have something healthy to go back to diet mode.

    If you aren’t used to exercise, maybe start by going for walks. Its not to strenuous, calming, and healthy.

    The hardest part is making a decision to change and starting. Set small goals and reward yourself when you keep them (not necessarily with food) and don’t lose sight of the goal.

    You can do it!

    In my pre-sem year, there was a sem handbook which looked good (from what I saw of it). Some of the local judaica stores may carry it or if you know anyone in seminary this year, they can probably give you their copy (or can get you another one).

    I didn’t read most of the posts on this thread so I apologize if I’m repeating something. I just wanted to make one comment. NASI is based on closing the age gap (aka encouraging girls to date later). The new “system” doesn’t apply to me yet, and when I first saw the ad, the first thought that went through my head was to get married before it does. Obviously, I’m not the One pulling the strings, but I seriously doubt I’m the only one with this thought. If that is the case, NASI was just thrown out the window.

    observe, in my experience with the CR, the mods are posters on a higher level. They have control over which comments appear, but very little to do with sight design. You raised a good point and probably the best way for anything to be done is to use the “contact us” page. (I’m not volunteering you for the job, just trying to explain why you may not get results just yet.)

    Dear mods, I didn’t mean what I said in the last paragraph. You’re posters on a way, WAY, higher level. Can’t even compare you to us little folk. 😉

    Are you friendly with anyone out of school? While school is a great place to meet new friends, its not the only place. Have any cousins or neighbors similar in age? On that note, a friend doesn’t even need to be from your class.

    Maybe during one recess or lunch join a conversation. You don’t need to be the center of it, but stand close enough to say something and be part of it.

    If you feel that recess and lunch is spent at your desk doing homework, ask a teacher or your principal if theres something extra-curricular for you to be involved in. Better yet, come up with something. A gemach, chessed project etc. If you feel comfortable and you’re school has an elementary in the same building, maybe you can tutor someone in a younger grade who needs help.
