Syag’s reminded me of this one: “Your call is very important to us. Please enjoy this 40 minute flute solo.”
Agreed, they were very good.
Amen! Thank you. (How I got a bracha there, I’m not quite sure of, but I’ll take a bracha any day.)
Dear Well-Intentioned-But-Sometimes-Gets-Lost-In-Translation-Neighbor, Relative, Co-worker, *insert title*, kapusta,
Everyone is entitled to an opinion. You too. And the want to help someone is very commendable. However, should it happen to come up, please keep in mind that sometimes things come out differently than we mean them too.
Thank you.
Goq-
You’re an incredibly talented, good, sensitive, caring person. Your qualities aren’t dependent on your being married or not, and don’t think that you’re less of a person because of your marital status. That said, I can only hope that you will make a very special someone very lucky, very soon.
Thank you, Syag, I appreciate it. I actually (mostly) stopped posting on other threads a while back and as for this thread, I slowed down posting somewhat but I usually read it. I’m trying to keep busy and so far so good, B”H. And WB, I’ve missed your posts on this thread. 🙂
Mazal Tov to BaalHabooze and co.
There were ads in some of the major publications.
MP, thanks for the ideas. I’m not an artsy type but I might become one…
For right now I think I need to stay focused on “busy” stuff. Still not sure how to get through the week but I’m trying not to think about it and hopefully, IY”H it’ll be good. Doing better now though, B”H. Thanks, everyone. 🙂
(And thanks to someone who probably doesn’t read this thread but in case you do, you know who you are :))
To the people who’ve been very quiet lately, you’re missed around here!
Thanks, SM 🙂 Doing a teeny drop better now B”H… And when you find a good outlet, let me know…
🙁
Anyone have a time machine that I can borrow? Most of the usual “outlets” are basically off limits for this week and (with everything else) I’m really not sure how to just get through it…
Hope everyone’s ok…

If you can connect with your teacher, thats great. I understand that based on past experience, you feel uncomfortable, but if you’re cautious, you’ll be ok. 🙂 mommamia22 suggested a Shabbaton, and if you think that wouldn’t work, maybe it can on a smaller scale. Get creative! And maybe if enough people feel the same way, your school can get (a speaker like) Rabbi Wallerstein to come in.

The funniest (and most awkward) one I ever saw was at my neighbor’s wedding, her twelve-year-old niece walked down to Hey Dum Diddly Dum. No joke.
Yea, could someone explain that one to me?
cooljude, theres a difference between “not appreciating being a bas Yisrael” and “using a little more thrill” in life, but both can be fixed. Is there a teacher (or mentor) you’re close with? And hang in there. 🙂
aproudbyg, I’m sorry about what happened with your mentor. Do you have a teacher you feel comfortable talking to? mra01385 mentioned Rabbi Wallerstein, which is a great suggestion. If you can’t get to Ohr Naava, you can watch his Shiurim on TorahAnytime.com. (I’ve heard that he can not always respond to emails right away, but you can try Gateways which is online at asktherabbi.org) And you can always vent in the CR 🙂 Hang in there.
We should never underestimate the power that a simple greeting or well-wishes can have.

writersoul-
I hope this doesn’t count as self promotion. Been meaning to tell you for a while… 🙂

Happy anniv… I mean birthday.
MP, I’m sorry to hear about that. One thing I’ve picked up (a lot from this thread) is that encouragement is like pointing a finger at someone else; and three fingers point back at you. Smile at someone and you help yourself too. Feeling needed (or as you say, “having a purpose”,) is a normal human emotion. And it’s probably a good thing because without it, not too much would happen. At the end of the day, someone who needed a little encouragement got it, and it went back on you too. Is that so bad? You’ve done a lot on this thread, it didn’t come from nowhere. I hope the real-life support you need comes soon, but until then, stick around here. 🙂
(I hope no grammar teachers read that…)
writersoul, I like your stuff. Even more impressive based on your age. 🙂
I hear ya. Would something in a school setting appeal to you? Is there anything you enjoy doing specifically that you may be able to turn into a business?
Hatzlacha!
I wasn’t the one to ask, but wolf, if you’re willing to give, I’d be very happy to take a bracha from you.
I hope this won’t be a double post…
Thanks, SM 🙂
TF, Amen! Happy birthday!
Good Shabbos, all.
Thank you, OOM and SG. Free <whatever you want it to be> on the table.
Sorry, that was, umm… lame.
Right at the moment, okish. Someone got me very annoyed and upset earlier in the week. I actually wrote something (!) maybe I’ll post it… Thanks for asking. 🙂 (Although I did actually post to say hi…)
I’m not totally obsessed, but when it comes down to it, I’ll root for them. Nice to see you around, btw. 🙂
I’m four and two days.
Thanks, Goq. Btw, do I win anything for being a Cubs fan? 😉
Just checking in to say hi. Hope everyones doing well. 🙂
Thank you to Goq for starting yet another good thread.
MP, SaysMe, thanks for the shout out(s). I’ve mostly been lurking lately but everything is good, B”H. Hope everyone else is also doing well.
Wishing everyone Hatzlacha with the pre-Pesach stuff.
Just had the zchus of giving for a local baby pre op (O-)!
Thats amazing.
Nice to see you around. 🙂
Lol, SG!
BTGuy, I think I’m joining your fan club.
SaysMe, thanks! I really got past it and I’m actually doing pretty good now B”H. How are you doing, btw?
PE, thanks for asking. Doing good B”H. 🙂
Generals good too. Thanks.
A friend of mine once said that something bothers you when you know you wouldn’t do it. A few (good?) friends taught me a lot about myself this week. 🙁
MP, thanks. Honestly, I don’t even have a good way to get to the person I was thinking of so for now anyway I think I’ll put it on hold for a bit.
Hope everyone has a good Shabbos.
s2021, I know the feeling! Welcome back 🙂
MP, on the subject, if you don’t mind (and I understand if you prefer not) could you just give a little description of yourself and what you’re looking for? Thanks.
Maybe this is a good place to ask. How can I exchange singles for hundreds?
Regards to Sarah.
Wow, this thread was busy today!
MP, that poem was so well done. I hope IY”H soon the right (and very lucky!) one comes along.
Think first, same to you. Mazal tov on the exam and the poem was great!
blabla, that was amazing!
SaysMe, thanks for asking. A lot going on but I’m trying to focus on the good stuff (three really good/big things between yesterday and today). And sooo much better than last week B”H. Hows everything by you?
Syag, you still around?
PE, that was amazing!!
