Sorry, deleted my last post as I realized that for this context it was inappropriate.

I don't believe that everyone is attractive. I think I'm fine with that concept. 

Contraband (unopened) that has been in my drawer  over a year - I have finally discarded.

Lol. Without. That Cord struck a chord. But my phone wanted the first one with an "H".

Chords, you seem like a nice guy. Yesterday I found something that I'm pretty sure is yours. Clearly you've been missing it, here it is:

gggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg



There were more, but it started 'ettin' heavy. I fi'ured that I'd just 'ive you my extra ''s that I have from this sentence. Enjoy & be 'ood

the G is gashmius. Guess he's trying to cut back

Good mornin'

Thanks for thinkin' about me.

I'd like to say somethin' which is on my mind, although it may be false, I know it has helped me and others.

People have been writin' that bumps in the road of life they consider tests and some have passed them and some haven't and some struggle with them and some question them and some resolve and reconcile them somehow.

Ani hakatan would like to say what works for me. Life is life and may be cruel at times. There definitely are tests in the world to us, but I don't believe they are on a daily basis. The more we (especially us guys) delve into thinkin' about them, the worse it gets for us. Especially when it comes to some key defects we (especially I) possess, such as selfishness, jealousy, blame, resentment, vindictive and ego.

Baby steps: what is wanted from me at this present moment? I believe that it is an ego-filled statement to say, "God is testing me," especially when it is repeated many times. God loves us, of that I am told, but I cannot explain His ways.

Why is all this thinkin' detrimental for us? For our brains are generally wired wrong (and I did it to myself). It takes a long time to rewire, and that doesn't happen after 30, 60, 90, 100, 700, 1000 days. I don't know when it happens, if it does at all. 

I'd rather focus on the moment before me, and try to ask myself: what is expected of me at this moment? I don't always ask the question, and I don't always deliver the correct response.

B'hatzlachah to all

I agree. My personal opinion is that my Higher Power doesn't test me. He's not like "What wrench can I throw at Shlomo and see if he survives." I beleive he loves me too much for that. I don't call them tests, I call them learning experiences. Granted, my Higher Power isn't like everyone else's, so take it or leave it.

Yes, and it's truly sad that there are some who view life as revolvin' around them and their pettiness.

It's fine though, for the motto mustI be: to each their own.

I believe i touched on this a few weeks ago.
Nisyonot has several meanings.
The one i like the most is "chance"
Hashem keeps giving us more chances.
The other big one being experience - Hashem keeps on teaching us - building up our experiences.
These sure don't sound like tests we need to pass to me.
