i see ayc just posted too – that’s somebody good to reply to you 😉
Happiest, i’m sure you’ll have the other saying something . i just wanted to tell you that there is NOTHING WRONG with asking (unless you were just saying that as acknowledging other posters who may say there is?) .
The point is that we can question but we cannot doubt. Even Moshe Rabanu questioned G-d’s ways! We just have to open our eyes to see how good and kind g-d is and than we can have faith.
Also note the ages of 2 of the 3. We’re all going to die one day, they lived a long life. May we all too!
Puppy, how is going? i’m really sorry that you are feeling this way. These aren’t pleasant feelings. What are your options now? Do you have somebody to talk to about this? Is it a matter of time?
Your poem spoke a lot, just the certaincy that you wrote with bothered me, and it really hurt me to read the “i’m praying but it’s false”. You can’t really be praying than in the sense of talking your feelings – i’m not judging and i do understand in my own way! Can you try to just keep that up at least?
And what is it that you’re looking for here? Is it answers or is it just sympathy and care or something else. We can try to give whatever it is!
AYC – you write so well and you really show such a nice personality… (always good to hear nice things huh?!)
Blabla! i’m so sorry for your pain! It hurt me to read this!! Please, just hold on, the light will still come, you’re way to young to give up already! Yes, until when… g-d, until when?!?!?!!
Hey observanteen, why, thanks!! You know how it’s the little things that make a person feel brighter? You just did that 😉 Good shabbos!!
i’m sorry puppy that you’re going through this. i really know the type of feelings and i just wish for you that you’ll see clarity. Search, question, find answers – you can’t say for sure it’s a lie until you know that for sure and you can only know that if you’ve done the searching and seen that. Sending you sympathy and hope!!
Hey, where is everybody?!! Or more like, HOW!!?!?
I had an interesting incident shabbos… we normally start the seuda at 12:30, so at 11:30 i was a 140 so thought – okay, i’ll take now, it takes me ages to come down anyhow… Well, wouldn’t you know it, we only ended up starting at 1:30, so by 12:30 i ended up eating most of the food myself!!
AYC – Thanks for explaining! “Aha” as they say..
Blabla, i’m so sorry for your struggle! How is it going? How was the exercise?
Puppy, i’m sorry that you can identify with esp. blabla.. it’s def. not easy and i wish it easier for both of you and everybody else.
gematria – nice poem! Def. an important point..
Middlepath, this is really something… do you have the song? I would love to hear it (too!)
Observanteen, do you have your filter on still?
AYC – hey, it’s really powerful! Can’t say it’s easy to do in action but it’s really good!! Just wondering, what made you think of this now / post it now!
Have a good shabbos!
WELCOME BACK, now as Mrs Allsgr8!!! We missed you indeed!!!
Hi ayc 😉
Have a good shabbos e/1!
Well done yossi!! May you have much success in it all!! (i’ll save the words mazel tov for you for when i finally open this thread for “the” news!)
Presuming you really are who you say – than whoa! An easy way to say thank you!!! You’re the funniest!!
Just have to add my two cents on a thread which is actually being read by you – esp. if it will make its way into your next hamodia article! Jk,
Squeak – the name is Judy Brown 😉
If you or anybody else is interested in helping out a kollel which is a great merit, than let me know and we’ll work out how we can be in touch!!!
If a family who lives in israel and is struggling you’d be more willing – pls let me know!!
😉
It seems to me that perhaps if somebody was “found out” who they are they wouldn’t appreciate a constant reminder about the fact.
You’re computer has a filter so you can’t email to gmail.com? I think i’d share some of them privately, the ones that aren’t so “private”!
observanteen, hope it’s busy in a good way! Yeah, i know exactly what you mean (well, in my own way of course) when you say about HAVING to write – so did you write this because ayc asked for it or just because you felt the need to?! i use gmail btw. And because i couldn’t use just my user name i put “fh” for “flying high” before.
i love to write and i do write a lot but i don’t like to post it so publicly on here.. AYC do you write often too?
Rebbitzen still not around to welcome the new page for us ?! ;(
Hi right back dx3 – glad to see you up here! It’s funny how quiet it can be – but i guess it’s also funny how busy it can be at other times!
Dx3 – WELL DONE!!!!! KUDOS!!! WAY TO GO!! i’m reallly trying to do the same as you .. Cofeefan, how’s it going for you? i like the way you look at this… i find that it’s really important to have your perspective right – at least it’s only this – so long as it doesn’t disregard what you are finding difficult!
Emunas Itecha, if you follow the link, on that page, you’ll find a way to contact me … and anybody else who wants to be in touch with you can do the same
Blabla – whoa. How powerful. You know how well you write!
Observanteen – you write so well, it’s truly strong and expressed in such a nice way. Haven’t seen you around in a bit, missed you! BTW there’s ways of getting in contact if you’ve been following ..!
Lol well cool! i actually posted the link just for this reason that you find a way of contacting me (i.e. i also posted email add.) … well b.i.t soon than!
Climbing mountains, i fully agree!! (and i think it’s nice of you to say that to ayc!)
AYC – thanks … if you follow the link you’ll see that i posted on the other thread… …
Middlepath – like i said, thanks so much! You make so much sense 😉
Emunas Itecha, thank you for your words, and thank you for not judging! i’d love to hear more about your experiences and why you choose judisam if you would share. i know it’s a public forum on here though.. btw what makes you think i’m a teenager? just curious 😉
hey ayc, thank you so much for your warm response!! It’s a good idea to add the word “apparent” but it’ll make the sentence too long.. not that it’s good structure in that way anyway.. i don’t think it could be published – nobody would accept it!
“Don’t make us wait long till the next one!” well unless i could email to you privately i don’t know about that!!
Blabla, how are you doing?
idk if you still need one – but this one is great!
i’ll tell you first how it comes out so that you’ll understand it.. It’s a layer meringue, whisked topping or substitute, meringue, topping, meringue, topping, meringue, either topping and decorate with e.g. cherries or choc. or choc over meringue.
It looks and tastes great and is really not very difficult to make!
Whisk eggs and sugar and bake it on 3 trays, not too high, for a couple of hours. If you have the time bake on low and for much longer and that way it’ll stay white (and not be browned) layer it like above etc and enjoy!!
Hey Rebbitzen i think it’s time to welcome the new page – missed you around here and hope you’re okay! When i rem. i try to keep you in my prayers 😉 (yes, the rest of you too!!!!)
Cofee, you’re so right, it hurts to hear how many children are being diagnosed with this… Without putting this down in any way, i’m working with a child who is really ill, i guess for me it just puts things in perspective a little, but once again, i’m NOT putting down the struggle of diabetes – believe me, i live ‘n breathe it!
So sweettooth, what’s happening with your diet?! Is it happening?! Are we having a competition, and whose joining!
Interesting way of looking at it, as in feeling bad for your body… but yeah, i know what you mean.. i think i feel more bad when i hurt it and hope i’m not really ruining it!
About the kid i teach – yes, the parents know, they say they’re glad i’m teaching which is nice to hear!
Today with him was already a “story”.. his mum sent a msg to “run around with him bc of medical reasons” – lol. He was a 270 and alth didn’t want to do much running eventually we did jump like 300 times! Yup, i did it with him 😉 and i’m like, “so you think i might get low?” and he’s like “No!” Of course not 😉 Eventually he went up to a 450 and his mum came to give him insulin – there was none in school so i couldn’t (yup, now there is there) spoke to her for some time then! …
And after all that i was like a 320 and it made me so upset, i’ve been seeing decent numbers recently bh – may it only last!!!!!!!
Anyhow, it’s funny talking of a “d story” without it being about me this time !!!
So long…
Happiest, i’m not asking you to say the name – i just asked if i know what site you’re talking of… do i?!
happiest, you wrote,
“bad bad bad idea. There is another “frum” or “jewish” chatroom that I joined stupidly and it brought me down so much, you could not even imagine. I think we should leave the cr the way it is!!”
Do i know which chatroom you’re talking of…?
bombmaniac, you really write well, and i really appreciate your words as well as sharing your experience.
Sometimes i really wish i were able to share / ask / discuss just like you describe. It can really get so difficult at times!
Although i would really like to do so, i think that i have come to a see that it’s just me, only me. I can hear lots of things – and i should make an effort to hear more shiurim and read more books – but at the end of the day, regardless of anybody else, it’s just me, i have to live my life and i have to make the most of it.
There have been times when i have felt really desperate to talk to somebody and felt like i had nobody to turn to. It’s a very lonely feeling! Nobody cares, why bother?
And the answer is, because it’s MY life and it may be true that nobody cares but i have to care because i’m the only one losing out. Yes, it can be difficult to care too..
Self identity, religious identity, etc it’s true i’m struggling but can anybody else really help me?
i’m not sure i’ve been clear… sorry for the ramble!
Happiest, i hurt so much for you when i read your words. I wish i could be there for you in a real way.. i don’t have much to offer in terms of advice about your friend, only my sincere sympathy. i know a lil what it’s like to have somebody you’re so close to turn away.
i’m so .. awed by your courage and strength, fighting such a difficult battle so bravely.
MiddlePath, same for you.
May G-d continently give you the strength and make it easier for you, showing you that he cares and is there.
And i’ll third the hug … (((((hugs)))))
Blabla, you already know my “speech” but i guess it can’t hurt to hear again!
i’m so sorry it’s so difficult. Nobody can ever judge another person, teacher to student, student to teacher, peer to peer etc. At this point i don’t think it’s possible for you to be able to see what it’s like as a teacher, only once i started teaching could i suddenly see things differently! Having said that, i try very hard to give my all to my students, to care and love and understand them etc. I just wish for you to have teachers who will understand you! If you are seriously considering stopping school think it through very very carefully, i always find that the routine it’ll give you may just be worth it.. i imagine you’ll miss enough as it is!
You’re so strong! Keep up the fight! You can do it!!
How you’re strong – by keeping up fighting, by accepting what you can, e.g knowing that you’re not in control, by being in touch with your feelings, by reaching out…. you want to hear more?? You know you are strong – you say how!!!!
(((((hugs)))))
Bombmanic – kudos on your post, i just read and read even though it was long – somehow you keep the reader wanting to read further!
Like hi 😉 How are you all???
i’m a teacher – one of my little boys has diabetes! i just mentioned to him that if he’s not feeling good he should come tell the teacher… he said to me, “when i’m not feeling well, i feel tickleing,”!!! It’s so cute and i feel so bad for him!!!!! He’s only 4!!!!
AYC you always say such nice things, i love your posts! (if you look quite a few posts up i actually posted something i wrote! I like your comments, did i mention??! jk)
Blabla, ayc said it … i just wanted to comment to tell you we’re here for you… it IS difficult but you CAN do it!! Don’t forget, you’re strong! Hold on tight, hold on a little longer, it WILL get easier… it must! Don’t let yourself fall back down, keep that confidence up, we all know that you are a great kid, with a lot going for you, you seem to have depth that others do not, those who are your friends are LUCKY. Don’t let yourself put you down!
We’re rooting for you!
Adorable, every time i open up the c.r i’m hoping it’s with good news just like this one! i’m seriously so happy to hear this and i wish you all the goodness together. i follow your posts and enjoy them!
Are you on OnlySimchas? i want to check it out! MAZEL TOV!!!!
Bein_hasdorim, if you mean how we know – read a few posts up – adorable said so on MiddlePath’s music thread!
bombmaniac, thank you for the response, i appreciate you didn’t just “shoot me” that this must be what’s with me … 😉
Once a person is grown up and they start to understand what life is about, realising that we’re not here forever and seeing that once you take away all the thrill etc than the only thing there is, is connection to G-d, it becomes easier … i suppose there is a difference between knowing it and acting on the feeling! i don’t look at Judaism as only no’s, i never used to anyway, i think i’ve come to a point where i want to just have some of the things and i guess i’m trying to find who i really want to be in the future!! It’s hard, and i’m kinda just fed up with fighting and in the struggle i’m coming across all sorts of questions which i never did have in earlier years .
Always run with scissors fast – it’s almost that what i want to do! Let me try it all out and than feel that it’s only this! i have had times when i felt it strongly – it’s all emptiness, only connection is what counts! but still..
I don’t think it’s so much that i’m thinking “the grass is greener” as much as i want to see the beauty in yiddishkeit, and i want to have some of what they do, not nec. living there life… but maybe i’m just kidding myself 😉
WIY the shiur is just … the best!!! He’s the most amazing speaker and person and anybody who can go listen to him!!!!! I also heard part 2, it’s really something. Thank you for asking!
Is there a project you can try to take on? Like writing for instance, or graphics, or drawing, or baking, or reading, or visiting old / hospitals / babysitting. Kudos for listening to shiurim when you do and it’s perfectly normal that you’ll watch movies some of the time too 😉
Remember also you’re too young to say “you’re wasting your life” – you may be wasting time but you’re life??? Not yet!
Would you want to share where you live? Maybe there’s some other people on here who do to and you can spend time then together ;))))
Happiest, i can only imagine what it is like … i’m sorry for your pain – and the rest of you – i just wanted to reply to say that, to tell you that there are people out here who care. Keep strong, you can do it!
WIY they are amazing shiurim, where did you listen to them? On Torahanytime? On the Derech is an excellent book.
What’s the 6 constant mitzvos? Whose the author? And whose the author of stop surviving start living?
Thank you for your understanding – really i appreciate it! Like i said i’m kinda just fed up for a lil..
Bombmaniac – what’s your point? 😉
Hey, thank you. Yes, i vouch for Rabbi Y.Y i listen to him alot.. What shiur are you refering to? Did you say you posted it on Torahanytime? Can you post a link or tell me what it is called? Thank you!
i guess i’m just kinda fed up … . Too bad if you do what your not supposed to .. . it’s too hard to hold on!!!!
It’s about tsinus. When you’re on the road, accidents, being stuck, filling up on gas etc, it’s lots of interaction with males ..
Don’t know the mekor .. Rabbi Wosner and the chassidic rabbonim don’t allow it..
observanteen, – following some other threads you commented on!!
Hey thanks observanteen… appreciate that! so you still think so??!!! jk
Checked it out – kudos!! Hats off to you not only in this music but for the ability to rise and rise again and keep going strong.
Sure 😉 i’m glad! Really! And yes, i do care ..
Maybe trying to pray for somebody else or try to thank hashem … Pray for me and i’ll try to pray for you, okay?! i guess i thought of it in that way because it’s a way i can feel at times..
(i know it doesn’t come in exactly, but can i ask you, when are you getting married?!)
Observanteen – i can’t tell you what happened but it is NORMAL! And yes, it’s perfectly normal to be frustrated over it too…
Perhaps it may help to be glad that you feel frustrated because it would be way worse if you just didn’t care. This type of thought is obviously only if it makes you feel better and not worse!!
i really hope that G-d will ???? ???? – open our mouth – to pray to him and make us want it . .
Firstly don’t worry about it because it’s NORMAL! The others said some good suggestions, like pray to be able to pray and the story of the baal shem tov.
Perhaps you can try to learn something, i liked to use praying with fire volume 2 (i found that it focuses more on ????? itself than volume 1)
Remember that life is like a graph, you have the ups and the downs but the main thing is that the trend is upwards! Don’t be discouraged and keep on trying! And DON’T give up praying kavanah or not!!!
yeah yossi count me as one of the many – i’m still hoping! Glad you got the application..lotsa luck!
Yes ayc how right your words are,
Lets try this month to get far,
How every difficult it may be,
Pray to want and to be ready,
Because you can be a true star!
Good Chodesh!
