Funny story: My sister was in seminary and we went to visit her. We were staying at the LaRomme Hotel. Al Gore was there (for some reason, the King David was booked solid for something else and he ended up there). Anyway, they cleared out the lobby but we went up to a floor where the hallway overlooked the lobby. As Al Gore walked through, my sister called down "Hi Mr. Gore!" He turned and looked up and said "How are you doing?" to which she responded "Baruch Hashem!" The Israeli soldiers with him were laughing hysterically. always here on ""Thank G-D, Baruch Hashem"" http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/thank-g-d-baruch-hashem#post-191283 Wed, 12 Jan 2011 16:40:00 +0000 always here 191283@http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/ to non-Jews I say 'Thank G-D'; to Jews I say literally "B'H", in which case I often get a look & havta explain myself that it's (the abbreviation for) 'Baruch Hashem' YW Moderator-80 on ""Thank G-D, Baruch Hashem"" http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/thank-g-d-baruch-hashem#post-191280 Wed, 12 Jan 2011 16:38:13 +0000 YW Moderator-80 191280@http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/ what i mean is that people say it and hear it by rote especially when it is always said with the same inflections BAAAAW ruchHashem.

I remember hearing rabbi Shchafer of "the Shmuz" talking about bumper stickers. He said in the 70s they had bumper stickers that said "Looking for it", then they came out with "I found it" and then "Not even looking for it" all referring to Hashem. Mr.80, what do you mean it lost meaning? I chose to say Thank G-D over Baruch Hashem because I speak with a lot non -religious and a lot of non-Jews (as we all do) and it is hard for me to interchange and have to think which to say. I always find it funny when people say "Thank(s) G-D". What happens if they mess up and put the 's' after G-D? Avodah Zarah?

I have people stare at me sometimes like I am a nut. A checkout girl laughed when I gave her this answer.Anyone not say "Thank G-D" when asked this question due to such responses. I am not considering stopping C'V, I was just wondering if anyone else gets these types of responses.
