    I don’t think I’ve posted anything so out of character for myself that I would care about being found out. If someone already knows me, they might be able to tell who I am depending on what I’ve posted, but that doesn’t really bother me. And BTW, I have 2 Facebook profiles, one for my pre-BT life and one for my current life. There, now you can all go out and “friend” me, LOL.

    I don’t stutter, but I do get hung up on words sometimes. The word is on the tip of my tongue, I know what it is, but can’t spit it out. I have to “look” at the word on an imaginary “billboard” in my mind and “read” it off the “board” in order to get it out.

    I had an absolutely horrible experience at Lenox Hill last year. It probably would have been at least a little better if I had contacted the “Staff Rabbi” beforehand so he knew I was coming, (you should do this even if just for an outpatient procedure), because you cannot tell I am a frum Jew from my legal name on a patient list.

    I had an outpatient procedure done, and was supposed to have been released that afternoon, but there were complications and I had to stay overnight. I asked to see the rabbi, and the nurse sneered, “she wants to see a rabbi!” and walked out. My husband had taken my cell phone home (so it wouldn’t be stolen) and the phone in the room didn’t work. Their response was to shrug. I begged for some Tylenol or Motrin because the narcotics they were pushing weren’t helping the pain, they were only making me groggy. “Well, I’d have to go to the pharmacy for that.” Would you, please??? It was the longest night ever…

    At risk of outing myself, I have to say I miss living OOT. I’m not even in NY, but close enough to know that once my kids iyH are safely and happily on their own, I want to go somewhere else, not necessarily where we were, but OOT still. I miss OOT middos…

    A rabbi, a minister and a priest walked into a bar, and the bartender looked up and said, “what, is this some kind of joke?”

    It is possible, not preferable but possible, to have sessions with an out-of-town frum therapist over the phone. I know someone who has done this with success. Moderators, is there a way I could pass on this info. if the other party is interested?

    Post here.
