    in reply to: Social anxiety #1033631

    I feel for you, I am extremely short and was bullyed too. mercilessly, in fact it came to a point where I had to change yeshivas. you may be in such a situation now where it would be best to switch to a higher level yeshiva where the age and maturity level is higher. once I got to the mir, the teasing all but stopped, and if anyone said anything a ” excuse me but I don’t appreciate that was enough to stop it” it may also help you to avoid those people and associate with more aidel people who you know wont push you around. and there is nothing to be ashamed about regarding your height. that’s how hashem created you and if someone points out your height, view it as if he said ” do you know that you have two eyes” its really the same thing.

    And short stature will not get in the way of life. I’m sure you know of all the gedolim who were incredibly short but even in the secular world, some of those who had humongous impacts were extremely short for example; Yuri Gagarin ,Mahatma Gandhi, James Madison,Ludwig Van Beethoven, Andrew Carnegie

    napoleon Bonaparte and Voltaire. Madison is the giant among these names at 5′ 4. these are some of the biggest name in music, philosophy, music, finance, and world events and they were all shorter then most in their era. take a page from them and don’t let your height get in the way. the only thing that matters is your will to succeed

    in reply to: Pickles #1019281

    Pickles will kill you. Every pickle you eat brings you nearer to death. Amazingly, the thinking man has failed to grasp the significance of the term “in a pickle”. Although leading horticulturists have long said that Cucamis Sativus possesses Indehiscent Pepto, the pickle industry continues to expand.

    Pickles are associated with all the major diseases of the body. Eating them breeds wars and Communism. They can be related to most airline tragedies. Auto accidents are caused by pickles. There exists a positive relationship between crime waves and consumption of this fruit of the curcubit family. For example:

    ?Nearly all sick people have eaten pickles; therefore, the effects are obviously cumulative.

    ?Of all the people who die from cancer, 99% have eaten pickles.

    ?100% of all soldiers have eaten pickles; therefore, pickles must be related to wars.

    ?98.8% of all Communist sympathizers have eaten pickles.

    ?99.7% of all the people involved in the air and auto accidents ate pickles within 14 days preceding the tragedy.

    ?93.1% of all juvenile delinquents come from homes where pickles are served frequently.

    Evidence points to some startling long term effects of pickle eating:

    Of all the people born in 1865 who later dined on pickles, there has been a 100% mortality rate.

    All pickle eaters born between 1890 and 1915 have wrinkled skin, brittle bones, have lost most of their teeth and are afflicted by failing eyesight… if the ills that come from eating pickles have not already resulted in their death.

    Even more convincing is the report from a noted team of medical specialists. They found that rats which were force-fed with 20 pounds of pickles per day developed bulging abdomens. It was further noted that the rat’s appetites for wholesome food was completely destroyed.

    Worthington is a city in Dubuque County, Iowa, United States. The population was 401 at the 2010 census, up from 381 at the 2000 census. Iowa Highway 136’s route takes it through Worthington, which is north of Cascade and south of Dyersville.

    “1)There is only so much one can attribute to skill. To get some facts straight, Israel fought against:

    a.Egypt

    b.Syria

    c.Jordan

    d.Arab Expeditionary Forces

    e.Iraq

    f.Saudi Arabia

    g.Morocco

    h.Algeria

    i.Libya

    j.Tunisia

    k.Sudan

    l.PLO”

    just one point of contention, the “Arab Expeditionary Forces” was the name of the Saudi and Iraqi units sent to fight Israel, I don’t think Algeria, Morocco, and Tunisia sent anybody, and the PLO did not exist until 1964. not minimizing that there were incredible odds but your facts are a bit off

    in reply to: Jokes #1019309

    A man walked into the produce section of his local supermarket and asked to buy half a head of lettuce. The boy working in that department told him that they only sold whole heads of lettuce. The man was insistent that the boy ask his manager about the matter.

    Walking into the back room, the boy said to his manager, “Some loser wants to buy a half a head of lettuce.” As he finished his sentence, he turned to find the man standing right behind him, so he added, “and this gentleman kindly offered to buy the other half.” The manager approved the deal and the man went on his way.

    Later the manager found the boy and said “I was impressed with the way you got yourself out of that situation earlier. We like people who think on their feet here. Where are you from, son?”

    “Canada, sir,” the boy replied.

    “Well, why did you leave Canada?” the manager asked.

    The boy said, “Sir, there’s nothing but yentas and hockey players up there.”

    “Really!” said the manager. “My wife is from Canada!”

    The boy replied, “No kidding??? Who did she play for?”

    “My father even found a Rishon (I do not remember who) who said that in his time it was the custom of the young people to “taste liquor” before Musaf. So the custom goes way back and if done in a respectful manner, it is not the end of the world.”

    One crucial question, did the rishon say he agreed with those “young people” or not? People doing things wrong years back does not an acceptable custom make.

    “Are you saying MO folks are not frum?!

    How dare you!

    If anything, they are better than you because they don’t constantly bash your hashkafa. If you don’t agree with their hashkafas, fine, but how dare you profess them to not be frum!

    I have no idea where your assumption comes from, but it is absolutely terrible! The BHMK was destroyed because of spewing insulting, hateful garbage like you’re doing!

    Yes, you may not agree with them, but to say they aren’t frum (i.e they don’t care about torah and mitzvos, and they have no yiras shamayim)is a discrace.

    How would you like it if somebody kicked you out of Judaism because they didn’t like something you did!?

    No, they alternate male and female over a ten(/) year period. If there are more storms than letters of the alphabet, it continues with the greek alphabet (alpha, beta gamma, etc.

    in reply to: Female hurricanes kill more #1018855

    This is clipped from a article about female storms being less worried about “So to get ahead of the curve, we’d like to offer some advice to all the girls out there hoping to become fearsome natural disasters when they grow up.

    Be calm, and make eye contact: Eye of the storm, baby. Eye of the storm.

    Network: Surround yourself with strong female tropical storms and typhoons. Look around and ask yourself: Who is wreaking the kind of havoc that I would like to wreak? Find those storms and forge a sisterhood.

    Negotiate: If you know that you are a Category 5, why settle for being classified as a Category 3? Don’t sell yourself short.

    Have a five-day plan: No meteorologist is going to respect a hurricane that can’t stay on track. Find a seaboard and stick to it.

    Never, ever cry in the office: Save the waterworks for the storm surge, ladies.

    Remember, the sky’s the limit: Literally. You’re a hurricane. In the sky. Now act like it.

    Don’t be held back by the glass ceiling: You’re going to let a glass ceiling hold you back?! A GLASS CEILING? You’re a hurricane for crying out loud. Just shatter it.

    in reply to: Social anxiety #1033620

    First of all, the fact that you are working on yourself puts you in the upper echelon of people, and I am extremely impressed with you . most people DO NOT work on themselves their entire lifetime, missing the point of their entire existence. the fact that you are struggling with who you are, and trying to understand yourself means you are one of the few special people who are trying to grow.

    Now, just as we here, your friends at the coffee room are here to help and give you a helping hand. so too in the real world. MOST people in real life want you to succeed and to do well and those who don’t , don’t matter. Try to find friends in real life who don’t judge ,but like to just schmooze and spend time with you , and slowly but surely you will connect deeply with some of them and have someone to discuss things with. If you are uncomfortable with that, like I was, why not call up, anonymously, a older person to act as a mentor. Or email him. He does not need to know who you are ,and probably does not want to. if you see something in a book that touches a chord , contact the author to discuss it and understand it. it isn’t easy but it is most definitely possible, especially for someone as deep and driven as you are. also, why not try helping someone who you know is struggling with the same issues as the posuk (and a beferish avraham fried song) says “ish es rayehu ya’azoiru uleaciv yomar CHAZAK!. that way you will help each other overcome your issues,and you wil gain the bestest of friends.

    finally take the time this yom tov to really daven and ask hashem to open your heartand mind to be able to understand torah and your purpose in life. hashem is not scary, he is a loving father who only wants the best for you GOOD YOM TOV ,AND ALWAYS REMEBER TO KEEP SMILING!!!!!!!!
