Yes, this is a true story, but it wasn’t a shul. It was a yeshiva.
Thanks, adorable. I appreciate you saying that, because we just got through talking about how I know I’m not a “top boy”, and that I wouldn’t want to put someone through all my issues. But I do think you are a top girl, based on the criteria in my first post on this thread.
Oh. I’m sorry about my previous post, then. It probably came across like I was attacking you..please forgive me. Your’e right, one should be careful and prepared for questions.
Pac, yes, obviously. The guys, too. I said in my previous post- “I don’t care if it’s a guy or a girl.” I would want to help out a fellow Jew.
adorable, that is true. But- I am a guy, and if I were in a class with a Jewish girl, I would actually at some point go over to her and ask her if she needs help with anything class-related, because I would want to help a fellow Jew. I don’t care if it’s a guy or a girl. It would NOT necessarily mean that I like her. I know some of you think this is wrong, but that’s what I would be comfortable doing.
adorable, I can’t see a situation in which one would have to lie to a child to prevent saying something inappropriate. There is always a tasteful way of saying something. I think lying itself is inappropriate.
Bortez, I’m assuming you are a responsible and mature young woman. That being said, I think you would be doing nothing wrong asking the Jewish guy your questions. Here’s the catch: You obviously are not comfortable talking to guys. So, even if you DID ask the Jewish guy your questions, you would probably not gain much because you would be so flustered talking to him in the first place, it would be difficult to focus on calculus. Since it is essential that you know the material to do well in this course, you should ask whoever you would feel most comfortable talking to, so that you can gain the most information. I actually took a calculus course recently, so perhaps you can ask some questions here.
Health, I’m sure you didn’t mean it this way, but “shiksa” is considered to some a derogatory word.
I think it is very appropriate for them to know. There are ways of explaining it even to very young kids that will make them understand without getting into too much “mature” material.
mdd, did I say anywhere one should not have regret for their mistakes? I merely said that if you make a mistake, you should learn from it. Don’t waste it and just wish you never did it. Take something positive from it. There’s a reason we all make mistakes. They are opportunities for us to grow.
I heard The Book of Mormon was terrific, and Wicked is good as well.
I don’t think there is only one best way for everyone. For people who have always done the right things throughout their lives, that is the best way for them to forge a relationship with G-d. For people who have strayed from the path and then found their way back on, that was the best way for them to forge their relationship with G-d. Everyone has their own path. The important thing is to learn from mistakes and make yourself a better person because of it.
There’s a line from a song I like that goes as follows:
“Sometimes you’ve got to be wrong, and learn from mistakes.
I live with serenity now, not self-righteous hate.”
Bomb, I think she said she DOES go on at work, just not after work.
adorable, I would think that’s perfectly normal for a girl. But imagine a guy talking about manicures the way you do…That’s how it would be if a girl talked a cars the way I do. I’m just curious- Your’e really not funky in any way? There’s got to be something..
I play the guitar, piano, and drums, so if I’m bored, I just sit down and jam. Believe it or not, I actually decided to learn how to play an instrument partly just to keep me occupied with something. Yes, I love and appreciate music, and I have an ear for it, but that wasn’t the only thing driving me. So if you have free time- It’s never too late to learn an instrument!
It could be because texting takes your focus off of driving almost completely. Eating, on the other hand, though it may cause you to look at your food every now and then, does not require the same focus and concentration as texting.
Bomb, that’s great news! Congratulations!
Ha! Adorable, that’s good to know… But you are definitely not odd. At least not from what I can tell, anyway :)But to be honest, I like people that are a little odd in some way. Maybe “odd” isn’t the right word.. Funky, I mean.
Adorable, you are absolutely right. It’s good for me to talk about my hardships, but really, the best thing to do about it is what you are doing; Staying busy, helping people, and most importantly, maintaining a positive attitude.(And you have all three!)That’s great that you’re starting a course soon that will keep you occupied. I’m currently on break from school, and I don’t start again till the end of August, so until then, I’m “less” busy, which may result sometimes in feeling down or depressed, but honestly, posting with you on here really does make me feel better. I just feel that I can relate to you pretty well, and because of that, you really do help me a lot. Thank you so much.
Here’s some of the threads we’re talking about, for those of you who are curious:

Peerim, I normally don’t see those types of cars where I live, either. I just happen to be a car enthusiast. (Or “Petrol Head”)
And I would find it very odd if a girl I would go out with talks about cars the way I do. Wouldn’t be a bad thing, but I would view it as odd.
Thanks, happiest. Every little bit of encouragement and understanding helps both of us, and everyone dealing with similar things.
I think it’s not a very ladylike thing because of all the mechanical parts, loudness, dirtiness, and other things that go into car appreciation. Yes, the Ariel Atom is crazy, not only in terms of looks, but also acceleration; It gets off the line quicker than a Bugatti Veyron, and 0-60 is like 2.8 seconds, and it only weighs like 1000 lbs, because there’s no bodywork. The chassis is the exterior.
Adorable, you have no idea how much YOU helped ME! I really appreciate it, and your understanding and sensitivity for other people is very special. Have a wonderful and inspiring shabbos.
Upon arriving at the zoo, my ice cream had melted all over the car seat.
It may not be “rampant”, but I think it’s safe to say that almost everyone knows at least one person that was affected by abuse in some way. I stayed away from this topic until now because I was, and still am, greatly affected by abuse, and I didn’t want to get involved. But without getting into details, I strongly agree that it is unfortunately covered up and ends up negatively impacting many more people than it should have. We must stop protecting, and open our eyes to the damage it causes, however ugly and terrible the truth might look, and prevent possible future calamities.
Happiest, may G-d give you the strength to deal with everything you are going through in a positive way. You seem to be a happy person in general, and that is incredible due to what you’ve dealt with. I give you all the respect in the world.
If you’re from San Diego, you’re a San Diegon.
Your’e right, Chanie, but drilling costs a lot of money. Also, I could be wrong, but aren’t there earthquake-related issues to geothermal drilling?
True. The Boxter is actually Porsche’s least expensive model. In general though, I’m not such a fan of Porsche. As far as my favorite car goes, I actually don’t have one single favorite. I have a bunch of favorites in terms of different things.
Favorite supercar- Murcielago LP-670 SV or Pagani Zonda Cinque
Favorite rally car- Impreza STI WRX
Favorite muscle car- CL63 AMG Black
Favorite open-top car- Ariel Atom
Favorite every day car- Aston Martin DBS
Overall best car for your money- Nissan GTR
I just view being into cars as a nice hobby. Of course it’s not that important, but it’s a fun outlet.
Without getting into advertising, I just want to say I agree with you Adelio about the importance of using natural resources for energy and product use. Besides solar power, which is probably the easiest method, there are wind turbines, garden roofs, water mills, and using natural materials for homes and appliances. These methods have been around since the beginning of time, and there is a reason people still use them. Not only will they save you money over time, but they’re much better for the environment.
peerim, there’s actually a huge difference between the car I’m describing and the “goyish” car it sounded like to you.. In order for it to be a “goyish” car, it would need tinted windows, 22 inch chrome rims, a massive subwoofer, and neon floor lights. I would NEVER want a car with that stuff.
Basically, the main difference though, is that a a “goyish” car is focused on bling, size, heaviness, and loudness. On the other hand, the car I’m describing is focused on performance, lightness, aerodynamics, speed, and handling.
Is the Boxter your favorite car?
Thanks, adorable. Your’e 100% right.
Adorable- I appreciate your concern. This isn’t always how I feel. Actually, I’m generally happy with my life and look at the positive, which, honestly, can be difficult because of reasons I explained in the Singles Support Group thread. You must be very perceptive though to see that lately I’ve been going through pretty severe difficulties, and I’m sorry that it shows in my posts.
Minyan Gal, you have such a great attitude. I am happy that your life became much better for you.
Adorable, that was so nice of you! Thank you! I’m starting to get a better idea of where to draw the line. I’m thinking the following: When helping someone else, if it’s something that truly doesn’t bother me, and I actually enjoy it, there isn’t anything wrong with it. But if I am thinking “This is a waste of my time”, or will be upset about it, I should probably say no. What do you think of this approach?
I have a lot of passion for many things. Am I generally a passionate person? I don’t know. But I don’t think I’m so passionate about life, considering what my life is like.
Adorable, if it’s a Chazal, then your’e definitely right. I wonder though how long it takes for the outside to affect the inside..I mean, I’ve been doing this for more than just a few years, now.
Sorry for the confusion..What I meant by too socially comfortable is that I can be comfortable talking to complete strangers, men and women, all ages, all nationalities. I don’t really have boundaries in that regard.
I can go both ways. Depends where I am and who I’m with. I’ve been told sometimes I’m too much of a loner, and others times I’m too socially comfortable.
