never mind, I forgot: clothes cost money. Ha ha 🙂
lilmod, you sound like you really have your head on straight. I am impressed! I am impressed by a lot of people here, But I just “met” you.
halacha question: may someone buy a new outfit for second days of yom tov if they really need and was no time before yom tov?
yw:)
My post was intended elsewhere, so as not to imply any particular person.
It’s supposed to be easier to be more patient with strangers than one’s immediate family:)The coffee room has so many threads where people sometimes forget to respectfully disagree.If one person feels attacked, he/she will naturally get defensive, and so it goes. And everyone is left feeling awful. Can we try for softer communication?
Also, the Torah validates loneliness in many different ways, so NO ONE who is not in a lonely place should ever minimize it. The reason I feel I have a voice here, is because I am no stranger to loneliness:) And I do live a fairly happy life,b”h, to the best of my ability.
I think every nisayon. contains within it the aspect of potential sadness, but as you have read, it’s also balanced by the potential for overcoming and feeling true joy despite the “legitimate” right to be sad. May Hashem grant each of us the strength to be joyful, and believe me, in accordance with the sadness one could have claimed, he/she will be rewarded for valiantly plodding forward with as much joy as possible.This is like surfing the waves, sometimes the wave overtakes you. But not for too long, because very soon you are on top of the waves again, enjoying the ride.
They (and pomegranate juice) are good for the blood, I was once told, after a lot of blood loss. Also strengthens blood,etc.
Lilmod, I bought me and my kids some great Jewish books to read over yom tov, def enhanced yom tov:) I reread “Galia”, which really makes one a better Jew!
Backwards compliment, eh?
1. Treat yourself to stuff!
2. Try to be misameach someone in an even lonelier matzav.
3. Do all the things that bring YOU kosher simcha!!!
4. Call someone funny, who always makes you laugh:)
5. Ask Hashem to “notice” your valiant efforts to be b’simcha and help you maintain it, and that the next yom tov should be with family: your OWN!
Our home was a lot more broken when it was “whole”, and a lot more fixed now that it’s “broken”. Meaning peace, quiet, and smiles, are better than fighting, bitterness, and many tears. A beautiful marriage is the biggest bracha in the world, but if a “get” is in order, it’s sometimes more peaceful in the home afterwards. And yes, I went thru the whole world getting involved: THAT made more problems than the actual divorce, not the divorce itself.
Health, why cant you go and just ignore each other. We dont talk at all but we both go to the kids simchas.
he was not scary, he had a certain style, like every rav does.
dont be like trump, seek peace
health: I never mowed the lawn, no grass in NY (just weed) and of course I spent time with my kids,bh, but I could have spent way more time if I wasnt so busy and its basherte but a little sad too. re: better luck, im too busy to even consider it:)
Men who make wife jokes are either not shomer negiah so why get married or simply dont have gratitude.
Sure! And women should have 5 husbands each: 1 to take out the garbage and mow the lawn. A second to get up in the middle of the night for the babies, and wash wet sheets, #3 would prepare the meals, #4 could do all the shopping (not just Home Depot and Lowe’s), and #5 could take care of the finances, and if he wants to know “where all the money went”, he just has to consult Husband #4. After all, women do the work of at least 5 people, no? Now the woman’s job could be TO SPEND PRECIOUS TIME WITH HER CHILDREN, which is what most want to do anyway.
Shopping: Thank you!
LF: So if there is a way for ywn to recognize a new email address and connect it to my old name…
Although honestly, I CAN be a babbler, let’s face it.
