i don't know the rules about slips and falls but this was in a recent email:

I Already Blew It!
(Part 1)
Someone posted the following Chizuk on the forum [http://rehab-my-site.com/guardureyes/forum/]
from a Shmooze by R' Tzvi Meir Zilberberg:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Chozeh from Lublin, The Beer Mayim Chaim, R' Hershele of Ziditshov, R' Tzadok
Hacohen and other tzadikim all said:
When a person feels "I blew it already, I messed up this time", and yet he still
doesn't give up and keeps trying to salvage what he could - ignoring the fact that
he already failed (R' Tvi Meir calls it "Kum B'palgus Laila - getting up in middle
of the night" in the words of the Zohar Hakadosh), then the Nachas Ruach that he
makes for Hashem is even greater than when one is completely successful. And this
is the epitome of Shechina Ba'tochtonim (bringing the divine presence into the lower
world) which we know is the purpose of creation.
This type of Avodah is the greatest form of mesirus nefesh, because it is completely
against human nature, as there is no short term satisfaction.
This yesod is hinted to in parshas Vayishlach. The Pasuk says "Vayei'avek ish emo
ad alos hashachar - and the Malach faught with him until the morning broke". Chazal
say that the Lashon of "Vayei'avek" comes to teach us that "He'elu avak ad kisei
hakavod - they lifted dust until the Throne of Glory". R' Tzvi Meir explains that
through the struggle that Yaakov Avinu had with the "other side", he uplifted the
lowest situations - the dust of the earth - all the way to the Kisei Hakavod!
As a matter of fact, we don't find any hint in the pasuk that Yaakov overpowered
the malach. On the contrary, the malach actually wounded him. But because Yaakov
wouldn't give up even after he was wounded, the "other side" was forced to "agree"
to bless him. This is to show us (Maseh Avos Siman La'banim) that the tikun hashalem
will ultimately come through our not giving up, even in a generation that is wounded
by the Yetzer Hara! (According to many sefarim, the wounding of Yaakov's thigh symbolizes
the difficult tests of our generation in the area of Yesod).

oops
right again.

that's the chevra tehillim thread.

It started with someone taking kapittel alef, then someone taking beis, etc....

You can take a kappitel.

Post that your taking the next kappitel in the order.

It's only for one time.

Come back for more whenever you're ready.

I am a little confused. You see, I have only just started trying to be religious. I know that letters correspond with #, but I am not sure how that system works. Kappitel means tehillim, right?

Yes.

Kappitel is a chapter of tehillim.

You can do the next one on the list which is ayin gimmel (73).

Just post the number 73 on that thread, so that the next person knows where to pick up from.
