Wait you think you are right?

What do you mean by crazy? I’ve been in some scary situations like car accidents where I could have died Chas Vshalom.

That’s absurd. Everything is Hashems but He doesn’t ask us to give everything away you aren’t supposed to give more than a 1/5th unless you are very wealthy but even then you shouldn’t give so much that you risk falling into financial ruin.

Honda makes them with Jews in mind I’m telling you 😉

Even the word Odyssey sounds better with a Chassidish accent!

I voted. I’m waiting for the day that its all touchscreen. The voting is so low tech. Makes you wonder about why everything else in the govt is so messed up.

I would keep give either a 1/10th or a 1/5th to Tzeddaka. Give some to my parents and the rest Id probably look for something to invest in.

Don’t you people prefer to remain anonymous?

Blinky

Being American is what kills you. Great deduction 😉

Haleivi

I don’t Daven is Shomer Shabbos that often and no I’m not one of the collecters LOL!

Ben Torah

You are from LA?

Funny but embarrassing. Its one of those at the time embarrassing but when thinking about later you should be able to laugh about.

It will take just 37 seconds to read this and change your thinking.

Two men, both seriously ill, occupied the same hospital room.

One man was allowed to sit up in his bed for an hour each afternoon to help drain the fluid from his lungs.

His bed was next to the room’s only window.

The other man had to spend all his time flat on his back.

The men talked for hours on end.

They spoke of their wives and families, their homes, their jobs, their involvement in the military service, where they had been on vacation.

Every afternoon, when the man in the bed by the window could sit up, he would pass the time by describing to his roommate all the things he could see outside the window.

The man in the other bed began to live for those one hour periods where his world would be broadened and enlivened by all the activity and color of the world outside.

The window overlooked a park with a lovely lake.

Ducks and swans played on the water while children sailed their model boats. Young lovers walked arm in arm amidst flowers of every color and a fine view of the city skyline could be seen in the distance.

As the man by the window described all this in exquisite details, the man on the other side of the room would close his eyes and imagine this picturesque scene.

One warm afternoon, the man by the window described a parade passing by.

Although the other man could not hear the band – he could see it in his mind’s eye as the gentleman by the window portrayed it with descriptive words.

Days, weeks and months passed.

One morning, the day nurse arrived to bring water for their baths only to find the lifeless body of the man by the window, who had died peacefully in his sleep.

She was saddened and called the hospital attendants to take the body away.

As soon as it seemed appropriate, the other man asked if he could be moved next to the window. The nurse was happy to make the switch, and after making sure he was comfortable, she left him alone.

Slowly, painfully, he propped himself up on one elbow to take his first look at the real world outside.

He strained to slowly turn to look out the window besides the bed.

It faced a blank wall.

The man asked the nurse what could have compelled his deceased roommate who had described such wonderful things outside this window.

The nurse responded that the man was blind and could not even see the wall.

She said, ‘Perhaps he just wanted to encourage you.’

Epilogue:

There is tremendous happiness in making others happy, despite our own situations.

Shared grief is half the sorrow, but happiness when shared, is doubled.

If you want to feel rich, just count all the things you have that money can’t buy.

‘Today is a gift, that is why it is called The Present.’

You are right I should have been Dan Lkaf zchus. From the way it sounded it seemed like you were downloading things that you thought were free.

I give you a Bracha that you should always do things honestly and never have a taiva to do otherwise.

Im glad to hear that BH you have no marriage issues. I misunderstood your earlier posts and was not trying to make you suspicious of your husband Chas Vshalom. Its just sad that there are many husbands that hoodwink their wives and pretend that things are ok and normal. I have no mercy for such people.

Crdle

I heard many of his speeches maybe close to 30. That’s not all he talks about at all. He speaks on various topics. However the issue of what goes on in the country kills him. He cares and has saved 100’s if not 1000’s of neshamos. We don’t have enough people like him who care and are moiser nefesh to do all in their power to help struggling teens and people in their 20’s. That’s called Ahavas Yisroel!

Sacrilege

You don’t know me. I’m sure of it.

Sacrilege

Can I ask why you don’t like Rabbi W?

Ok Ill make your life easier as I have heard shiurim from many of the Rabbanim on the site Ill make some recommendations.

Try

Rabbi Kraft

Rabbi Rietti (you can also find his shiurim as well as other Rabannims shiurim on other sites like http://www.simpletoremember.com/ I highly recommend that website there are wonderful shiurim and articles there that everyone should read)

Rabbi Kelemen

Rabbi Tatz

Rebbetzin Esther Jungreis (I don’t listen to her shiurim but she’s supposedly amazing)

Rabbi Fingerer

Rabbi Frank

Rabbi Orlofsky

Rabbi Mordechai Becher (one of my favorites, the man has lectured on every topic and is quite humorous and he’s Australian so you may get a kick out of his accent)

Rabbi Shafier from the shmuz also amazing speaker very down to earth.

Ok I think that’s enough for now lol.

But please check out simpletoremember.com you will find it fascinating.

Sacrilege

Whoa. Spare your family the embarrassment? Not even sure what you mean by that although maybe if I knew your family Id understand. They’d be embarrassed by your cmments? Why are like the black sheep in the family?

Adorable

Glad I can help. Hatzlacha.

Smile E. Face

Just in case you didn’t see my earlier apology I’m sorry for saying you were lazy. I didn’t realize you were being humorous. Now I know.

Coke

No way!

I also think Benadryl was a great suggestion. But again I’m also single lol

Sacrilege

Right. You can’t make blanket statements. But I think each single can figure out for themselves what they should be doing with this extra time Hashem gave them. Although that would require brutal honesty for some and not everybody can take that.

Btw did you listen to any shiurim after that first one? I also want to recommend Rabbi Wallersteins shiurim. He speaks very well and is very inspiring. I think you will appreciate. He has 2 speeches a week on average one is to boys one is to girls so you would have to open the videos to see which is which.

What’s cool is that you don’t seem to care if you are “outed.” Either way you seem pretty comfortable with who you are and I don’t think you have said anything too damaging lol. It won’t be the end of the world if someone figures you out.

When and where are these impromptu cholent Kumzitzes taking place?
