    Why are some people here so morbid, serious.

    You’re living anyways. Can’t do anything about it. So why not smile.

    Got it all wrong. We know a minyan is ten because of the word “eida” – Alef=1; Dalet=4; Heh=5. Grand total of ten.

    Computer777:

    I didn’t think any of my posts are especially full of anything you mentioned, including this one. You’re 100% (*10) right. I should be thankful that I’m able to do work, and I get paid for it too. THANK YOU, HaShem!

    What I was referring to is the ???? (curse) to Adam harishon of ????? ???? ????. HaShem cursed us with manual mundane labor. Moreover, he set about a feeling of cause-and-effect, that produce (and dough) follows the efforts of one’s input. That one should actually WANT to work, and feel an urge to INCREASE and GROW one’s business/profession/work (curse). In reality it’s not that way. HaShem just makes it appear that way for many reasons. One, for without that no one would so much as lift up his finger. HaShem wants his creatures to be busy, to lead a fulfilling life.

    But in reality, us, the ?? ?????, have really something else entirely to be busy with. Keeping HaShem’s Torah and commandments – ????? ??????. That is ideally what our sole interest and focus should be. ???? ?? ????? ????? – work we have to – it should ideally be in Torah. If we were at a higher plane, it would suffice us to be totally involved and focused in spiritual matters. Worldly sustenance and goods would follow. That is living the life of an elevated “oved” similar to Adam harishon before the misstep. Where he was busy with mitzvhos (????? ??????) and malachim would bring him the finest olam hazeh has to offer.

    Unfortunately after his misstep – the life we live in the present, we cannot occupy ourselves totally with the spiritual, we must also toil with the “earth”. That is ????. Gashmius and Ruchnius must coexist – through our efforts. We must share and expend our concentration and attention with the mundane.

    I think there’s a medrash on the pasuk in Eichah ????? ?’ ???? ?? ???? ???, of something to the effect of HaShem having set us up in the fashion of a slave whose master won’t feed him. He must work for himself, for his own survival, and at the same time, concurrently, work and labor for his master. So too, we, must be busy with our basic survival – professions, labors, businesses, and at the same time be wholly and totally dedicated and involved with HaShem and His Mitzvhos – our sole purpose in this world. That is what the Navi was lamenting.

    Yaakov, now THAT is an excellent idea.

    I also think it should be only metchlich, that people who own driveways should only park in then, not take up a needless extra space.

    Wow. Just in time for my re-joining.

    You definitely have very valid arguments. (I do think the minhag avelim thing is true)

    The main part of the game, AND YOUR S’CHAR is how you deal with her. “l’fum tzaara agra” – reward (here in this world and the next) is according to and multiplied by the difficulty. I may not be of any help or consolation tho you – but alot of poeple have that same issue. Rabbi Miller zta”l says that these encounters and trials are what makes us grow. We don’t beg HaShem to give us such nisyonos, but in retrospect we can elevate ourselves to actually thank HaShem for it – ???? ?? ?????? another meaning is to thank HaShem for affliction – because ???? ?? ?????? it was for out own benefit.

    Most people have a way to get through to them. Diplomacy, with tenderness, calm. Maybe humor. It IS demanding. But rewarding.

    Hatzlacha.

    What they do?!? Hmm..

    Could be they do the same thing as in the city. Just with slightly more effort, with a lot less. Less space. Less amenities, conveniences, appliances. Generally its an endless battle against the dirt, elements for invading the personal space. Generally doctors for kids are not down the block. So with the grocery, supermarket. Then there the issues that only country life brings on, like children vs. the wild outdoors. Close (too close) neighbors.. And the list goes on..

    It may be that it was the best place suited for such a crowd. (really?) Yidden generally have no use for such public events other than as such, therefore we don’t build our own. (oh) But anyway I think it says something about stadiums becoming a place for Torah, or something to that effect.

    You can bet I had everyone away. They were all in the country – it was before and during the summer neither my children nor my grandchildren (?!?) were around. I did spray into drawers and shelves like there was no tomorrow, of course I cleaned up at the end of the summer (uch).

    OK, Let me too tell my story.

    It was a few years ago, towards summer, when we noticed some of those <> creatures in our apartment. At the time we put down these stick-ons, the ones that are supposed to kill them and the eggs.. Well, it didn’t. As time progressed so did they. Our apartment was eventually swarming with them. We tried bombing TWICE to no avail. Poison strips. Nothing.

    Then one day someone told me about boric acid. So I tried. I poured and poured like there was no tomorrow, into holes and cracks, drawers, shelves, in appliances, under appliances, behind appliances etc. Within a few days they were all B”H gone!! We B”H have not a repeat! HaShem should continue to protect us.

    WoW. Again, advice (at least sane advice) is not any of my 2.5 talents. A cursory glance at my pithy handiworks can attest to that. I’m here just to lend you a shoulder to cry on, to dry your tears, to try to comfort and be mechazek. It’s my humble belief that a healthy and relaxed, strong minded person would make a better decisions and take matters easier. And I’m here to try to lift you, however slightly, to be able to see a not so distant BRIGHTER future.

    No – I’m not dispensing any unwanted, uncalled-for advice, direction, or knowledge of any sort. (I’m afraid it’s not something for any sane person). Me? I’m here for a shoulder, maybe a good word, a boost, that can strengthen and fortify you with kochos you need at this time.

    Yes, I did have you (Hashem knows who you are) in mind in my Tefillah. I’m sure many others here viewing and sharing with your saga, are also davening for you.

I’m not exactly sure how one goes about asking mechila of a Godol no longer among us, but it’s serious stuff. ????? ????? ??? is not something to be taken lightly.
