    Middle Path- thank you so much it means a lot.

    Kapusta- thanks for the bracha

    Blabla-loved the poen really, and I just want to clariy regarding MP’s question, I think that if a man loves his wife and really is happy to see her when he comes home, however he’s totally exausted from the days work, why should that effect the way he greets her. If greeting her nicely makes her feel dear (which is true for every wife) then he should greet her and if you repeat it enough it will become “real”. I’ve learned this from mussar seforim if you know something is right to do but don’t feel like doing it, you do it anyway and with enough repetition you’ll want to do it and enjoy it. Now you can fake love so if there isn’t a true foundation of love between them, then I agree don’t fake it. But in a healthy marriage, fake it when ur exausted until you can’t wait to greet ur spouce with a smile.

    My chiropractor charges $45 dollars a visit. Unless this chiropractor is a specialist and the issue is a serious one he could get that care for less money.

    A new career is here for me

    I had faith and now I see

    It was waiting for the the right time

    I knew that Hashem would make it shine

    I’m really tired and gotta go to sleep

    But wanted you all to know we Have Hashem for keeps

    He’s here with us every moment of the day

    And Will always show us the way

    Thank you Hashem!!

    Syag- I’d like to say this poem is beautiful! Wow! And I really like the line “Love is not comfort, love is not pleasure, love is security and growth and knowing that you are never alone” how true.

    Thank you, I’m inspired!

    ” I hate seeing singles by weddings!!!!! these lost lonely soals. so cold and frigid. A sense of happiness is displayed, but deep down they NEED thier own”

    “Lonely soals” I figure ill give you translation for soals.

    (?oal) Ro?ia Montan? (“Rosia of the Mountains/in the Mountains”; Verespatak; Goldbach, Rothseifen) is a commune of Alba County in the Apuseni Mountains of western Transylvania, Romania. It is located in the Valea Ro?iei, through which the Ro?ia River flows

    You make as if a single person is some sort of nebach! Singles are wonderful caring loving people, succesful mature and whole list of other things too. They just haven’t gotton married yet.

    But yeh I get ur point, singles do wish they were married, but don’t appreciate having people feel this way about them.

    Yedishazach— I understand saying no to an interested party is hard and like u mentiond can make you feel bad. Natural. Normal. In fact it shows a sensitivity of you to care that the other party may have felt by ur decision.

    However, you should realize that its extremely short, people get over it quickly once it settles in their mind that if the date didnt feel its right obviously they’re not the one he or she is meant to marry.

    Secondly, understand that whom you marry is a big desicion and one should never move forward because they can’t say no. So you did the right thing, and no need to feel bad.

    Isn’t that the purpose of dating?

    Oh I do it every purim. A family member of mine is a teacher who receives many bigger and nicer mishloach manos (correct pronunciation btw) from students. There they right out the door to a Rebbi of mine or someone that I want to give a nice one to. Sometimes ill mix and match and make something nice out of a few too. But yeh make sure the card isn’t still tacked on.

    A new Week is here

    And purim is in the air

    Some we can learn from

    Purim, is Hashems help will always come

    Maybe u don’t expect it

    Like in the story in shushan

    But onw thing for sure

    Hashem we can always count on

    So next time ur in a pickle

    And nothing seems to work

    Ask Hashem for help just a little

    You’ll see he won’t charge u a nickel

    He wants u to ask him for help

    He’s ur father and cares so much

    Just a little prayer a small yelp

    And He’ll be in in touch

    You see all he wants is for you to understand

    That he’s almighty nothing he can’t hand(le)

    So just ask and open up the channel

    He’ll be there for you, no need to pass in front of a panel

    Toi- u are absolutely right! I smoked for five years and quit because I wanted to honestly I was disgusted from it. That lasted five years. Then I went through a rough situation and started again smoking for a year now but I agree when u want to its easy, when something or someone is forcing u its really hard because u still crave and want a smoke. A great book btw to stop smoking is: “The easy way to stop smoking” written by Allen Carr

    Listen, go to a person who has some clout invonlved in chinuch in that city and inform them about what’s going on. Hashem made you see this because he wants you to do something about it.

    You have the opportunity to change the lives of hundreds of kids that will go to that school. Do it for them. Yes teachers and rebeim can make a kid love yiddishkeit or hate it.

    This is a conversation between the brain and the heart:

    B: think positive and all will be good

    H: I have negative feelings I wish I could

    B: look let’s just be smart and forget all that’s past

    H: I try to do that but it doesn’t last

    H: you see, for you its all logic like 1 plus 1, for me its feelings please don’t make fun. I use you to remember things and the feeling comes along this is my nature nothing right or wrong.

    B: aha I see ur in pain, well don’t use me to think about it and all will be good. That should do it.

    H: well brain, you see it all starts with me, a feeling comes along that gets me to use ur memory that pulls up more memories full of feelings that gush back into me and then I’m in a swirl. Feeling scared nervous or just upset, almost like its happening now. My ventricles are very powerful they gush with feeling, I know you don’t understand to you its not appealing.

    B: listen heart I don’t want to fight were part of the same body we must have a purpose. There must be a way for us to work together and maybe we can make our owner feel better?

    H: Yes, true I think we should make peace as long as we understand eachother and how we work. So when I have feelings don’t just say oh its for naught its helpful to feel distraught. It helps one mourn over something that has happened so they can move on afterward without it resurfacing are you chappen (understanding)?

    B: ok, ill let you feel, but when its too much ill let you know there a limit to how much time you can spend feeling!

    H: no no you got it wrong feelings don’t have limits and bounds. You feel until its all out and then yyou move one but you can’t tell me when the time has has come.

    B: yes ur right I see the sence it has a purpose indeed. So you do the feeling and ill stand tight, ill wait until ur alright. When you are and got it all out, I can help us move about. Ill help us get through decisions we need to make and together I think we’ll do alright.

    H: I’m in, I feel great that we made up.

    B: Ok

    Someone sent me this and I’d like to share it with all of my poetry friends:

    The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.

    Tell “the person” that you love to drink coffe for fun.

    ” I’m so busy with work, school, and life in general. I basically have no time for myself. So, how do I answer this question without sounding so boring and as if I dont have a life?”

    Well I think u answered the question there, it seems like ur not into fun. You seem more focused and have goals you’d like to acheive well I think that’s comendable. Seems like u do have a life and have a head on ur shoulders Who says you have be the “fun type”.

    But the person just wants to know what u do when ur not at school orwork or studying. Do u spend time with friends, shop, sleep, chill,or just read the yated.

    Health- revenge will eat you up alive,if you accept that it was Hashems will you’ll feel mucher better about it. I could too blame many people for withholding information from me beforehand which would have prevented the our marriage, and someone who guided me incorectly during the engagement when I should of broke it off. However I realize that it was Hashems will thay we were to be married for some time and that’s what happended. It may seem that if so and so didn’t do this and this things would be different but Hashem has his ways of orchastrating his will. Be well.
