WOW. Shopping you need to go to bed! like, as in NOW. As for how I’m doing- AWESSSOOOOMMME!!!

streekgeek-

So happy to hear that!

Why does every other thread turn into a conversation between us three? Whatever, don’t think I mind I love you guys, gosh we’re like kindred souls… OK, evidently I am weird when I’m in a good mood. Kinda sad… Oh well!

Oh, and trust- There’s another thread you should see:

http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/lahav-seminary

LAB-

I believe the correct way to say that would be-

If you want to make friends online, open a facebook account.

Hi mods!

Regarding the Lahav thread- I have the contact info for the user that requested it on that thread, but it wasn.t let through. Am I allowed to post their phone # or email address or something like that?

no emails

Newhusband-

Seriously? Your wife is pregnant. She wants a cleaning lady. If you can’t help her, then stop being abusive and for xxxxxx’s sake! GET HER SOME CLEANING HELP!!!! What is up with men? SO insensitive.

End rant.

Easy! Cuz I need entertainment. And cuz this is a cool way to have relationships with people across the world( that means you, oh Israeli citizens;) and adults. Smart ones. And funny ones. Plus, it keeps me off bad stuff… Thnks for up keeping this place, mods!

strrekgeek-

Wow, you’re just as creative as froggie himself! I’m impressed!

HUHHH??? Froggie- that don’t make logical sense. If you don’t think up these awesome threads, then… WHA? K, I’m lost. Or actually… Is this a case of “Google to the Rescue”? Don’t worry I won’t tell anyone;)

Welcome back, Shopping! How was your vacation?

Shopping-

I’ll read it! I dunno, I amn’t very good at these imaginative thingies. I’m weird in real life but it’s harder to be like that online somehow.

I don’t think so… How about you?

I am oh so kindly choosing not to respond to this thread:)

Ctr-

You got it all wrong! If you believe something, then you think there is a high degree of certainty that it is true. If you hope for something, then you understand there is a good chance that it will not happen. Hope includes some doubt, whereas plain belief does not. Hope has an element of uncertainty, whereas belief does not.

How are things going, higuys?

Burnt steak, could you please start another thread like this? It had me ROFLing!

justsayin- Mazel Tov!!!!!

Oomis- Happy birthday!

Just a clarification-

I appreciate superme’s defense of me, it shows she cares. I also appreciate WIY’s post because, again, it shows he cares.

fkelly-

Thanks for believing in me. It means a lot. I wish we could talk! 🙁

WIY- I wish I’d know you in three dimensional life; you sound like such a nice person!

ikno- This place is addictive! I totally understand why you came back. Thank you so much for your post, it’s making me feel so much better. You sound like the kind of person that would be a great teacher! You know, I just realized that maybe a user like popa is my teacher and I don’t even know it. Creepy feeling.

Superme- maybe the mods didn’t see your post. Try requesting it again and this time make it obvious that you’re talking to them in the beginning of the post. The mods are always really nice about deleting posts so you shouldn’t have an issue with it.

Shopping-Wow, I didn’t know there were Israeli posters here! That’s so cool! Enjoy your vacation!

I’m so sorry. You are in my prayers. I hope things get better soon.

Shopping- This book is awesome! The characters face a lot of obstacles and hardship, but the ending is sweet and satisfying. Margo, her brother Hanan, and a mixed-race orphan named Joey, form a perfect trio of friends alone in the world except each other. They bravely fight against the apartheid regime in South Africa, fighting injustice through a mixed-race rock band with lyrics that challenge the government, even when they suffer for it. They are all separated by tragic events, and the plot turns in unexpected directions.

Margo, forced to flee the country, ends up in Israel in seminary, and discovers her Jewish heritage (this is not your typical starry-eyed baalas teshuva story either- “oh the kosel is so moving now ive found god all my problems are solved” no, it is much more interesting and nuanced than that.) There is also a lot of philosophical discussion throughout the book (the author is obviously familiar with R’ Noach Weinberg, Rabbi Keleman, and similar hashkafos), but the Jewish thoughts are not always heard from the characters you think it’ll be.

For all the people who complain about all Jewish novels being the same, all my friends who’ve read this agree with me that this is one of the most original ones out there. Read it and see.
