Dear Uri - Thanks for the link. But...just for the record:
I feel I cannot use youtube, at all. So I don't. There. I said it! The pop-up thumbnails on the side are sometimes unclean and
if I
intentionally go there and then
see them it's really bad
for me. Besides, I may fantasize, who knows? I can't afford to do that now. I am actually
less able to intentionally use lust now, than I
ever was. So I use it less and less. It seems to be progressive. My own natural version of s'chor, s'chor. Not planned or l'shaim Shomayim, it just
happened that way...and my life is getting better and better at the same time,
even though I'm not intentionally trying to improve it at all. To whoever among you who
can use youtube, I say, "Great! and more power to-ya."
I actually wish I could use it, too. I last had difficulty about six mo ago when trying to use it to view and record great songs by the amazingly talented yid,
Yosef Kauduner. Apparently, before that I
could use it, though it
was an occasional problem for me....
I recorded five of his GREAT songs (audio) onto my phone (Uri's is too long for my phone!!) and listen to them
a lot. I am addicted to his music (though technically, it would only be "making my life unmanageable" if c"v I used youtube for it
anyway, even though it was dangerous for me!
).
Anyhoo, I just wanted to admit that to friends. It helps me remember I have limitations and that it's OK. Chow for now.
