Think firstMember
We can do it right here, hi everyone my name is think first, and the best thing that ever happend to me was getting divorced. And I hope to find the right girl one day.
Think firstMemberThanks MP and SaysMe. ICOT the club poem was awsome! Really enjoyed it.
Think firstMemberI need a soul with whom to talk
I know ur out there
I want a soul with whom to walk
I know ur out there
Ill raise u when ur down
Wipe away all ur frowns
You know ill always be near
To wash away ur tears
I want to care for you day and night
Always peaceful never a fight
Become one soul like the will of the creater
I hope it’ll be sooner that later
Hashem please hear my cries
For in it ur will lies
For me to be totaly complete
No more half a soul incomplete
When will it be I truly don’t know
So for now I’m on the go
Moving along with a prayer in my heart
Waiting for a fresh new start
I know u know what’s best for me
Its for the good even if it is hard to see
Ill hold strong waiting for the day
When ill feel whole and sing and say:
Thank you Hashem for sending ill say with glee
A wonderful partner who’s meant for me
Together well grow and learn ur ways
And accomplish our mission in life, this maze
Thank you all for taking the time
To go ahead and read my rhyme
I feel better already before I even hit “send post”
Encouragement is what matters most
May all ur worries turn to gold
And may U never fit “the mold”
Ur unique in every which way
And Hashem has given u another day
May we all be Gebenched! Amen

Think firstMemberYeshiva Gedola of Teaneck has this mahalech of getting married even at 19-20
Think firstMemberIf a girl really insists that she doesn’t want to get married I wouldn’t push her. There may be a real reason why she feels she can’t be married and she may be right. It should be explored. In the frum world there are things considered taboo but are reality none the less although not so clear to oneself due to our lifestyle. I know a girl that got married and wasn’t capable of it. Guess what happened?
Think firstMemberA gutte voch, ah what a seudas eliyahu hanavi with some delicious sushi!
Think firstMemberI like to mention a vort I live by and I hope it’ll be uplifting for us.
When Moshe Rabeinu was told by Hashem to take Klal yisroel out of mitzraim He said “Hashem I don’t know if I’m capable of doing this great task” and Hashem told him “you want to know the biggest proof that are indeed capable of this great task? Because I sent you, and I never give someone more than they can handle.
Sometimes we feel we’ve been dealt a realy tough blow, or we have too much on our shoulders and we feel like ” I can’t handle this!” Well understand that although it may be tougher and greater than anything that’s has come our way until this point, the understanding that Hashem who created you and I and who gave you this challenge feels that you are indeed capable of overcoming, and handling this challenge should empower you and make you feel ” If I got it, I can handle it!”
I’ve been through hard times not by choice and this has aleways helped me. I hope it will help you too.
Also, a good excersize is to tell yourself verbaly over and over ” I can do this, I can do this” you’ll see you will start beleiving yourself.
Wishing you all and empowered Shabbos!

“Courage doesn’t always roar, sometimes its the voice at the end of the day saying, ill try again tomorrow”
“Smart people talk about ideas, average people talk about things, stupid people talk about people”

“Change is life giving, it helps us become someone greater that we already are”
“You’re vastly more capable than you think you are”

Think firstMemberAnd israeli fellow who don’t speak or read much english borrowed my GPS and hit the “avoid toll roads” options when trying to go from monsey to broklyn, well guess what he was headed to the Dunn memorial bridge, to cross the hudsoon without tolls. He was wondering why it took him so long?!???!?
Well, there ya have it.
Think firstMemberHey there everyone, don’t give up keep doing ur part and the thread will come back to life. Like us all the thread is going through a down time.
Dear thread,
I know you’ve been down
U may even frown
Ur feeling lost and forgotton
And u may feel like u hit rock bottom
Don’t throw in the towel now
Be proud and take a bow
Look through ur pages of beautiful lyrics
Real emotions no gimicks
You’ve helped so many burden overcome
Don’t you stop ur job is not yet done
The pain you’ve washed away
You’ve made for many a bright day
And the burdens you’ve lifted
Everyone of ur posters is uniquely gifted
You’ll stand tall as u once have before
Soon poeple will be knocking ar ur door
I know you’ll welcome them in like you always do
Your amazing support for many a jew
So ride the tide it’ll be high soon
What you’ve accomplished can’t be ruin
Ur glory will be back its true
You can do it, yes you!
Says me, bla bla, kapusta, observanteen, middlepath, princesseagle, I can only try, we can keep this place alive! We can do it!
Think firstMemberSee Rashi on the pasuk “uvichukosayhen lo seleichu” I never inquired as to the halacha regarding this but he clearly says the torah is saying “do not go to their stadiums” it would seem that all sports stadiums are included in this issur.
Think firstMemberThe way I do it is like this. Even when I like the girl a lot and she ends it, I say, well if she don’t like me, oh boy do I not like her.
Do you really want to spend ur life with someone you like but doesn’t like you??

Sorry,

If ur looking for a prez with a clean history you aint gonna find a prez.
Think firstMemberWow! Yetzer hora and the yetzer tov having a conversation in the coffe room.
Think firstMemberICOT- amazing poem. Thanks it inspiring.
Think firstMemberMay Hashem have mercy on all agunos.
Think firstMemberOomis- thanks.
January 17, 2012 9:37 pm at 9:37 pm in reply to: "Where Are the Men"-Article in last week's Mishpacha #844456Think firstMemberThink about it, a father is on “the other team” so him telling a daughter “that’s not tznius” won’t be effective. A mother telling it to a daughter will be much more effective since she has the same sensitivity towards “appearance” and “dress”. Yes it is his responsibility to make sure the women of his household adhere to tznius standards but a mother is the one to acctually implement it to her daughters.
Think firstMemberExuce my ignorance, can someone please explain to me, what’s a troll?
Think firstMemberSheltered and warmed…….?
Think firstMemberYes they show a very good point
That people can take something out of proportion when not guided by gedolim. And no they don’t have dedolim backing them, although the satmar rebbe was strong in his opinion regarding zionism he would cry about where they’ve taken this agenda!
Think firstMemberThanks MP. And Bla Bla, look at that u did a hopeufl twist, I wish upon you that all ur hopes come true!
Think firstMemberHey people I’m still around haven’t had time to write lately but ill have something soon. Bla bla keep on writing ur writing inspires me, it really does. Maybe you can incorporate a wish or a hope in each of ur poems like at the end. Its just a wish? Like I wish this dark tunnel would brighten up or I hope these waves allow me to survive. I think it can have an effect. What do you think?
January 12, 2012 6:04 am at 6:04 am in reply to: Inspiration/Personal stories regarding Shidduchim #996493Think firstMemberMaybe we can post resumes with all info besides the names and we may be able to make some shidduchim right here. The mods would be the shadchanim. What do you think?
January 12, 2012 2:10 am at 2:10 am in reply to: Inspiration/Personal stories regarding Shidduchim #996491Think firstMemberWell there’s this guy who goes out with my sister and they both realized after a few dates that they weren’t the same type. However at the end of the date he was inquiring about a lot of things that one would only do if he’s interested. Although she thought it strange she was polite and discussed with him the topic he brought up. Anyhow this fellow calls his friend (my brother inlaw today) and says I have a girl for you. Well you see here how every date gets us closer to our bashert although it may not be so clear as thois story. May we all find our basherts with ease. Amen.
Think firstMemberCheck out the book “the easy way to stop smoking” (Allen Carr) and you’ll be informed that smoking is one thing only. A drug addiction. Nicotine is a drug and is more addictive than marijuana. After the first ciggarette ur body want more. It never “craved one before u started” and that’s the biggest proof there’s no inherent fain in smoking. Calms u down? Did it calm u down before u started? No, but now when ur stressed out and at the same time nicotine is slowly leaving ur body, so ur doubly stressed and u have a smoke, takes away the need for nicotine but ur still left with whatever stree u had before. Great book for anyone trying to stop. Its compare to putting on a really tight shoe and saying wow it feels great when I take it off and u put back on so u can remove it to feel good, crazy hhuh? Well same with cigarettes. You smoke when ur body craves it to get rid of the need which u created for urself.
Think firstMemberJust like Hashem created you to be photogenic he also created ur mate. I’m in a similar situation and I know that no matter how old I am and no matter what people think about me doing my part, I am and I will find my bashert as soon as its meant to be. So will you. people tend to worry and start creating reasons why one hasn’t found their match. There’s a God and he has a plan for you, they don’t know when nor do you so they try to “make it happen” with their suggestions not realizing it’ll happen just when its supposed to. As far as shaddchanim, do you not want to go to them or what?
Think firstMemberVery nice CD.
January 8, 2012 4:29 am at 4:29 am in reply to: Very disturbing, please only kind people read. #842288Think firstMemberI feel terrible about your plight. You must call Shalom task force. I know ur afraid of changing ur current situation like you mentioned “I have nowhere to go” if needed they will work things out for you. They’re purpose is not to seperate the family and create divorce their mission is helping women who are living through hell like you are. They will guide you step by step. I can hear the pain in your words and I promise you, you have only to gain for yourself, yes ur husband and ur dear children by calling them. Please make the call and let us know that u did. Ur life CAN and WILL get better if you do.
Think firstMemberLuv the snow it brings tranquility to the world, the white seameles spread with nothing dark in sight, that’s till the cars make all that muddy slush. I work too and enjoy the change in schedule from time to time coming late and all I think its healthy for the mind and soul.
Think firstMemberUr doing just fine. And it’ll happen at that precise moment its meant to be.
January 5, 2012 11:00 pm at 11:00 pm in reply to: Ending a Shidduch process is a reason needed #842111Think firstMemberThe shadchan should be told why and it helps for her to redd u something more on target next time. However I feel that a date doesn’t need to know the real reason why if it will hurt them, unless its something pareve. For instance if you just feel that ur personalities don’t go well enough that’s fine to say but if you feel that this person isn’t good looking enough for u why say it and make the person feel bad when beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.
Think firstMemberOP here—
Thanks for all the feeedback.
Think firstMemberAppreciation
Can make all the difference
Between marriage and divorce
Appreciation
Can be the key to make relationships
Better than worse
Appreciation
Can be the chord that’ll hold one together in hard times
So go and appreciate people for their friendship, work and rhymes
appreciation
Can lift ones esteem
Yeh even adults not just teens
It can change the entire scene
From very bleak to totaly serene
Appreciation
Is paramount to ones life
With it one can weather the harshest strife
No matter how bitter the pill may taste
You won’t feel ur life is a waste
Appreciation
To a person is like gas to a car
Without it its hard to move with it you’ll go far
I think its because one wants to feel accomplishment
And it touches their heart when they get a compliment
It propells us further puts bounce in our step
Makes you feel light and nothing is a shlep
So make sure to show appreciation to everyone in ur world
Family friend and all of us on yeshiva world.
A special appreciation to middlepath in the name of all of us
Middlepaths kinds word has encouraged us through many a fuss
I appreciate that my boss doesn’t show appreciation
It helped me create this entire composition.
Show appreciation my friends, you’ll be a happier person.
Think firstMemberPba—
The snow tires I’m talking about, u can ride in a foot of snow no problem.
Think firstMemberPba
you may want to look into snow tires instead of chain. You can leave them on all winter even on dry pavement they’re fine where and there are snow tires that do quite an amazing job.Checkout tirerack.com for different options and u can also read testimonials from people who have used them, personally I’m looking into the blizzak ws70 made by bridgestone which I’ve heard only good things about.
Think firstMemberWhat about 52+ awsome shabossim that we experienced? And all the Torah that was learned and the enourmous amounts of chessed in klal Yisroel
January 1, 2012 1:44 am at 1:44 am in reply to: Does such a guy have a chance of getting happily married? #840616Think firstMemberU can change apersonality like this, he’ll find a girl who needs a listener and he’ll be happilu married.
Think firstMemberSilent one— I’m sorry you went through pain like that, I understand because I too have “lived through” a failed marriage.
Not only is hakaras hatov important, I feel its from the most important traits one can have for a happy and successful marriage.
Its all about being appreciated, where there appreciation things can be tough financially or otherwise and the marriage will continue to blossom, where there’s no appreciation people feel lonely and forgotton.
Now for seeing it in ur date,of course everyone is polite on dates however there’s a drastic difference between genuine and fake appreciation. Genuine appreciation won’t be a quick thank you for whatever you did that deserves appreciation, rather it will be lavish with words of appreciation. Cold thank you can be fake but if someones “thank you for……. I really appreciate it that’s genuine, and watch for the facial expression while saying it is there a smile? Its real. Also does the person feel comfortable saying showing appreciation or does it seem forced?

Think firstMemberMiddle path thank you very much, your warm words encourage me to keep writing You’re a very special persona!! Keep it up!
Think firstMemberHum…..let me think….
Wake up, school- learning basics
job, training skills
Carpool- doing chores
Appointments-responsibilities
Ear infection for little Moishe oh boy!
Being a parent
But when do we think?
making supper
To nourish the kids
completing a report
To pay for the food
But when do we think?
Giving advice
Helping a friend
Listen ear
To soothe a a child
Proffesional opinion
To make some profit
But when do we think?
Cousins engaged
Lchaim
Few weeks later
Wedding
Getting ready pish posh
But when do we think?
Chanuka party
All had fun
Happy excited
Its in the air
But when do we think?
Give me a few years till
Things settle down a little
Then I can sort things out in my brain
I don’t want to live in vain
Listen my friend nows the time
Its important not just my rhyme
To put thought into who u are and why
Don’t let even one day “pass you by”
Remember We’re here for a little stay
And then in a moment we go away
No more carpool job or school
No more yeshiva or going to shul
There’s a great purpose for each and every one
Think- where did I come from?
Why am I here and what should I do
Why am I different living as a Jew
What’s my mission no doubt there must be one
I was handcrafted by the Holy One
Not mistake not extra just right
There’s a purpose in every moment of my life
So when do we think?
All the time!
Whether ur doing a good deed
Or enjoying some lemon lime
You don’t even have to make a date
Just look around and appreciate
The great wonders of the world
No not talking about the malls
The trees the flowers the outdoors
Unimaginable wisdom
The human body and how it works
Will boggle ur mind if given some thought
So think all day while every thing you do
What am I doing why and for who?
What’s my goal, starting now and here
If I don’t know where I’m going
How will I know when I get there?
Think, it’ll give you insight
About urself
About ur life
You’ll feel empowered
In control
Never in a lull
There’s always pupose direction too
When ur a thinking Jew.
Think firstMemberFein un—- why don’t you just pick out a source like abaya or rava and pasken straight from the gemora? You can probably find a shita that holds u can drive a car on shabbos. Since the rambam there has been something called “shulchan aruch” and the rambam himself is not happy with you if you follow his view when the shulchan aruch says we Dont pasken like rambam. You have a little thinking to do about the way u pasken.
Think firstMemberMarriage
devotion
Divorce
Work out emotions
Feeling on high
Then a low
At times gloomy
Next, aglow
why’d it have to be
I really don’t know
But from here
There only one way ill go
Ill pick myself up high
Ill do my best
Put fun back into life
Come on, a little zest
Yeh we don’t choose what happens
We all know that’s true
But after all goes down
its really up to you
Blaming, mad ,upset
Or u can accept
This is the will of the Holy One
stronger u can become
Gather ur strength
Put ur mind at ease
Look forward
At ur life ahead
It could have been worse
A child born
Connected forever
You’d be worn
Look at the bright side
You’ll aprreciate the next
So go on, on high
Ur very blessed
Hashem please send me the one
Meant for me
Love,caring,hope,sharing,success,family and all that’s good
Till one hundred And twenty
Think firstMemberThere’s nothing inherently wrong with wearing jeans. Its not appropriate for some occasions just as slippers aren’t always the reccomended dress code.
Its can say something about the person wearing them. Let me portray. An electrician wearing jeans isn’t the same thing as a 18 kid in high school wearing jeans. The electrician is wearing the “rugged pants with pockets for his tools that’s actually makes work easier than other pants” whereas the Hs kid is trying to say “hey I’m different than where I come from” (talking about a yeshiva Hs kid) and I’m letting u all know. Its a status that he’s taking on and yes it does not come along with shteiging away and shmiras einayim.
There are definately exceptions to this rule and, older people wearing jeans isn’t making a statement like a teenager and young 20’s guy.
Its all about assosiation. Who do u assosiate urself with.
Think firstMemberI “think first” then I act or speak.
December 23, 2011 7:33 am at 7:33 am in reply to: A "prayer" for a soul searching for his/her Zivug #998816Think firstMemberSilentone- may Hashem send u ur zivug hagun b’karov and may u be zoche to tons of happiness,love,companionship,success in all thay you do and be boneh a bayis ne’eman b’yisroel. Amen.
