You: Was I ugly yesterday?
Don’t bother….
May 7, 2013 4:46 pm at 4:46 pm #951778🐵 ⌨ GamanitParticipantSomeone told my sister “I subbed your sister yesterday. I knew I could expect a smart kid. When I walked into class and saw this gorgeous blonde girl… I was shocked!” Hows that for a compliment?
May 7, 2013 5:50 pm at 5:50 pm #951779Oh Shreck!ParticipantTo watch someone’s face brighten up from a compliment – that is sheer ??? ????.
I (try to) make a point to acknowledge the invisible custodian, the store / subway clerk, to greet with a genuine smile. They usually respond with a smile from ear to ear. Precious!

May 7, 2013 8:20 pm at 8:20 pm #951781popa_bar_abbaParticipantMe: You’re fat and ugly.

May 7, 2013 10:11 pm at 10:11 pm #951784E-O-MParticipantI can tell you how my day was brightened– just by seeing my wife and kids
May 8, 2013 2:01 am at 2:01 am #951785147ParticipantMy good word to everyone with no exceptions, is “Yom Yerusholayim Sameach”.
Just thinking back to this awesome moment when “har haBayis beYodeinu” was flashed accross the world today 46 years ago, still is emotional every single time I think back to that incredible moment of Nissim vNiflo’os that haShem bestowed upon us.

Smile.
Happy times are coming! (that’s a campaign promise <Kunda>)
