And sometimes we just like to annoy you
I can almost swear that that was by 73
RisingSun613 – I am seriously so happy to hear that 🙂 Thanks for keeping us posted!!
Thats exactly what I wrote word for word in a post. Look it up.
Yeh, that was here. Secret: I’ve looked it up before, in case you were seriously wondering why it’s word for word… 🙂 http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/amuc-grand-member-master-list#post-498701
Though I did say something to a slightly similar note before over here:
I hear why you wouldn’t post it but it seriously makes me cringe when people use it this way. I believe its just a lack of awareness which is why I tried mentioning it. But then again, we play by your rules so I’m not going to push this further.
No problem, you’re good.
Did I not just see this whole thing about you not wanting a subtitle?
Shopping: I just like being a crazy psycho idiot who is seemingly obssesed with not getting a subtitle. Seriously speaking, its fun to be hyper, especially on the internet. But you wish I was obsessed about real life things like that, you wish!!!
I’m an inspiration? Now that is the first time I ever heard anyone say that about me.
Nice. I like 🙂
But where does that put me?
Sheesh! Thanks to whoever did that. I can finally breath easy now.
You’re welcome – 29
Hehe!You’re such a uuhhhhh…..riot inciter. For real!!!! Where’s 29 again?
Now don’t you get involved 73!! This is between me and 29.
Yes but I had figured out most of that on my own these past years so it was quite boring for me…
Shopping: If that’s the case, when you write your own book on what life has taught you I’ll be first in line to have it autographed.
Oh please!! It was just an idea – if it didn’t work than kindly revert my subtitle back to good old member. I’m beginning to get sick of this game….
I guess 29 isn’t in today…
waiting for my fingers to defrost . . .
Shopping – I agree it’s not one of the best ones out there as its really deep, like I have to be in a certain mood to understand what I’m reading. However the chapters on free will and challenges are unparalleled. They have literally changed my life.
WIY – I hear what you are saying but I think that this can be said about any day of the week if someone chooses to sit in solitude and contemplate their lives.
Of course, however every other day of the week is full of distractions that keeps you from dwelling on this. Shabbos comes and there is no escape, which is why I feel these thoughts are more prevalent then.
TAOM – He’s making it so hard cuz if you weren’t challenged you wouldn’t get anywhere or use all your potential. Ever read A Thinking Jewish Teenager’s Guide to Life? If not I strongly recommend it. It is one of those books that has been sitting in my room for years and probably has never seen a bookshelf cuz I’m forever re-reading it when things are down. (Shopping – it’s right next to Beyond a Reasonable Doubt 😉 – another one of my favorites) TAOM, you’ll get through this as well. Yknow some beautiful things don’t start off looking beautiful. However in hindsight, you will see how all this pain fits in to the master plan and how much it has helped you become who you are. You know this already, but keep repeating it to yourself. And just stay strong!
It’s in Lakewood. Nice group of girls. Mostly yeshivish but there are a few others mixed in. Very very nice dorm. I know some of the teachers too – nice, open-minded, growth oriented.
I’ll try to explain but I really don’t mean to be condescending okay? And it’s also kind of hard to put these ideas in to words. I’m just saying what I’ve learnt when I wanted to find out why I never appreciated Shabbos before. Shabbos is taking everything away so that you are your pure unadulterated self. It’s the one day that you are forced to be yourself without hiding and without distractions. The silence of Shabbos is its beauty. If you can sit in the silence comfortably that shows that you are happy and satisfied being yourself. If you find the silence boring, unbearable, or sad then you’re not comfortable where you are and with where you are headed-you can’t handle the silence of confrontation. You know you are worth more than you are now. Shabbos is sort of like a mirror. It doesn’t lie. What you see in it is who you really are. Breaking Shabbos is like breaking the mirror- you’re afraid to see yourself and to face the horrible realization of not being all you can be.
Oh God. Not me right?
Mods – I know you don’t have time to edit posts, so is this better?
TAOM – just realized I never responded to your post, sorry for the delay. Ask the mods about my subtitle, not sure myself! I don’t even want one!!! So excited too that you signed up for that chessed thingie- it’ll make such a difference in your life. I sort of want to explain why I cried while listening to that speech but it is kind of hard to put it in words, I’ll try. I was going through a hard phase in high school but I always knew that I would want to get married and raise a normal family to sort of prove to my parents that their way of upbringing is not the only way to do things. So I always made sure not to do anything to myself that I felt would affect me later on as a parent. My friends, (can I even call them that??) thought I was nuts cuz once I was so low down, may as well do it all the way. B”H I was strong enough to keep to those restrictions so now if you would look at me there is no way you would think I was ever so low. What I didn’t know then was the effect everything else I did had to me, maybe not physically, but spiritually and emotionally. If I had known how much these things would affect me and how long it would take until I could gain back my spirituality I would have never done it. And now, years later, I still cry cuz of my naivety to think that I could just one day wake up and be good again.

Shopping – Glad to see you’re feeling all better and your back to your usual self 🙂 It’s okay to be a teen sometimes 🙂 I just did that myself yesterday, moody and all… I try to avoid coming here when I get in those moods for the sanity of the other posters here.
As for advice, try learning the deeper meaning behind these mitzvos. If its on your mind you’ll have an easier time remembering, and a better understanding of what you are doing when you do remember. And most importantly, daven to Hashem to help you! He can help you more than anyone else here can.
Why does this happen every Friday night? I don’t like my neshama yeseira, it makes me feel to guilty…
TAOM: I have been reading a lot about Shabbos recently and I believe I do have an answer to that, but I’m a bit hesitant to post it here. You have to promise me that you’re not gonna get upset, k?
lol shopping – that was before I knew you…
Shopping – You’re making me so sad 🙁 First of all, just know you are amazing. Seriously. Before I joined the CR I actually followed for a bit, yknow just reading and getting a feel for this place and you are one poster that I seriously was, and is still impressed by!! You are just so strong, despite all the pain you’re in and that is a real inspiration to me, and I’m sure to others as well. I promise you things will get better!! They always do. At the moment when it just seems to much to bear, you know you’re almost at the end!! I have tons to say but the fact that I even am here is a miracle cuz I have tons on my plate now in real life (good things B”H), but know I’m thinking of you and davening for you!!!!
As SaysMe says, the music is a lot cleaner now then what they usually play. Personally, I enjoy shopping this season as people are so much happier, you really feel it in the air. I remember going to NYC one X-mas eve probably 3-4 years ago and I loved the fact that people were actually smiling, together with family…I just like the whole atmosphere.
TAOM – I know you feel strong enough to hold out on your own for now, but it’s seriously not healthy! I’ll say this one more time: even is you can’t do therapy, please please please find someone to speak to. As for the shiur, it wasn’t the inspiration that made it seem so strong, rather the horrible realization that if I would have heard this speech a few years ago I would have been a lot better off…. And as OURtoah said, I’m so glad your getting involved with more chessed. I know for myself that working with people more needy than me makes me appreciate what I have. One example (and I have tons but this happened recently): I was working with a two year old who is severely handicapped. I seriously never met a toddler with such maturity, I guess life does that to kids. Anyways, I was supporting her so she could stand without her crutches/braces she always relies on when she says to me in tears: “My feet aren’t behaving, they never listen to me. I hate them.” I just hugged her tight and cried along with her….this poor child!
Shopping – I’m with you on this one. I also feel so disconnected after reading how TAOM described her Chanuka 🙁 It’s so so hard when there are so many other things distracting you-so I’m really not in the place to give advice here but listen…you did daven, who cares if it was with a siddur or not!?!?! The fact is that you have the connection: the rest will come eventually. Try downloading shiurim on to your iPod or phone and listen to them when you have a few minutes. There are so many amazing speeches out there! And keep talking to Hashem! Ask Him to help you keep the strong connection…
Totally random. But it will do for now 😉 The other one sounded way too geeky.
As opposed to your screen name?
Thanks different mod!
You’re welcome.
I was always so scared of the Three Little Pigs and Beauty and the Beast. I did not have a childhood cuz I watched this stuff.
nonikname – yup, never underestimate the power of a geek.
nonikname – Hmmmm….good question. I was wondering why a guy would start threads like personal statement for seminary applications, meor seminary open house.
Mod – First of all, thanks for the pun. It was totally not intended btw. Second of all, my subtitle. Enough said.
And after all this Little Froggie gets to just be a member. That is totally not fair. You’re not playing by the rules!!
Different mods.
How’s this?
LOL! And she even got my name wrong. ?? ??.
More than one? Hmmmm… not sure about that. You know you did give me an anxiety attack with the other 2 subtitles. My blood pressure is just beginning to stabilize.
OMG! This is totally cool. I owe you one 😉
More than one.
*sniffle* It’s a lot better, but do I really need it?
*blows nose*
And I hate to think what you’re going to put there if I C”V step out of my model poster’s shoes for a minute…
But since you were willing to work with me I will try my hardest not to annoy you anymore about my subtitle.
Now if you won’t mind I’m going to head to bed for a nice long cry. This day is turning worse and worse. And it’s raining….
You’re welcome, and see what happens when you click on your username.
