    YW Moderator-72
    Participant

    I took a break from moderating earlier and went to the local grocery store. I think I saw 86 there (black trench coat, black hat, sunglasses and a moustache that kinda looked like it was glued on a bit crooked) holding several boxes of hamantaschen – but the strange part was, he was in the greeting card section…

    GRATITUDE

    There is a custom amongst some people on Shabbos Shirah to save the leftovers from their Shabbos seuda in order to scatter them outside for the birds. The reason behind this custom goes back to the receiving of the manna in the wilderness.

    For going and gathering the bread, the birds are deserving of this reward as an expression of our gratitude.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    The rest are our my thoughts (so feel free to stop reading at this point)

    While on the subject of gratitude, perhaps we can examine this a little further. We feed the current generation of birds as a thank you for what a few birds did 3,321 years ago, how much more so do we need to show appreciation for more recent events.

    We need to remember to express gratitude to our parents, and our grandparents.

    We have to remember to thank our children when they do something for us.

    We need to show appreciation to the Rebbi(s) who we appointed as a shaliach to educate our children.

    We need have gratitude for all of our Rabbonim.

    We should say thank you to those whom we come into contact with that provide a service for us from the bagger at the grocery store to the doctor.

    Do we remember to say thank you to the one who shops, cooks, and serves the meals?

    Most importantly, do we remember to sincerely thank the One above who provides us with all our needs at all times and in all situations?

    2 days in a row: Cooked dinner and washed all the pots and utensils

    (whole wheat) macaroni and (low fat chedder and muenster) cheese.

    Tomorrow my chesed will be to let my wife cook dinner (and wash all the pots and cooking utensils) so that she will not feel like she isn’t appreciated 🙂

    if memory serves me correctly, there is a story about the Chofetz Chaim where he was traveling and in the wagon in which he was traveling there was a horse or cattle dealer (someone can fix the details – I do not remember all the details) and this merchant spent the trip talking about his trade. when they arrived at where they were going, and the merchant found out who he was talking to, he begged forgiveness for bothering the Chofetz Chaim with the nitty gritty details about horses or cattle. the Chofetz Chaim said it was a most pleasurable trip because there was no Lashon Hara.

    so… why am I writing this? because if you go to: Feivels Wonders of Creation –

    http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/forum/feivels-wacky-stuff

    you can learn all about:

    insects

    birds

    crustaceans

    and most importantly, hopefully, NO Lashon Hara!

    time for cup 2. 16 ounces of hot coffee with 2% milk and no sugar. ahhhh :o) usually, I get to it earlier, but I had to clean off the cars and shovel the driveway (maybe I should put this on the 1 chesed a day thread)

    For those without dishwashers:

    I heard that if you burn the food in the pot, the easist way to clean it is to put in the powdered dish washer soap and soak the pot for a while in hot water. I have tried this and the burnt parts come out much easier than just using regular dish soap.

    please feel free to discuss whether of not a topic should stay on topic or be allowed to stray off topic however if this topic strays from the topic of allowing topics to stray or not stray then the moderators will have to decide if the stray was still in someway connected to the topic or if the stray strayed to far from topic to allow continuation of the thread

    have fun :o)

    if there was ever a post that should be deleted for grammatical reasons, this is it – but… it is on topic :o)

    I know this is a bit late..but I was wondering if anyone had anything to say about the bais yaakov convention that was held in Toronto in the end of November.

    Anyone’s daughter went to it? Anyone who lives in toronto’s daughter involved in it??

    recent conversation: Deal NJ and the syrian community. way off topic.

    If you haven’t baked challah this week as part of this project, depending on where you live, you may still have time.

    Mrs. YW Moderator-72 will be baking and delivering tomorrow morning.

    syriansephardi,

    good question. as you know, we do not allow personal information to be posted. In this case, based on the some of the more “vanilla” type of self information that was provided a family insider would be able to figure it out whereas the rest of us would not.
