Wow...

God, please give the ppl the power to read 5 page posts, because they feel powerless to do so. They have reached insanity after a few lines and the post has become unmanagable.

ok, i dun it, i read the whole thing, where do i get my autographed t-shirt?

very clear and very good that you articulated all that
you are doing good, keep it up

as a side benefit, you inspired me to dress up as a marmoset-jedi-steel-tycoon on Purim, thanks!

Read the whole think and it was great.  But I'll confess what got me to read the whole thing was the fact that I noticed a post from you yesterday signed as Spaceman Spiff.

i interpret your deep words to mean that i merited getting a first post of yours on the thread because you love calvin and hobbes?
just tell me what else you like and i'll try to comply-
dick tracy?
r twerski's peanuts?
nancy and sluggo?
far side?
the tzaddikim are restless...

None of the others come close to Calvin and Hobbes.  Maybe the far side but those don't have the story lines.

Best of luck, bro - you rock!

And far side is the best. There can be a whole storyline in just one box!

tzaddik you are beautiful!
also now I understand why you are so comfortable at Dr. TOAST!

שיהיה בהצלחה מרובה

from another fellow math-atheist - Amen!

Dear fellow readers,
As many GYe's know, i took today a college test.
The plan was that I would pass today's test, thereby complete my BA, hand in my completed application to a Master's program, start school in August, finish two years later, and start making a real parnassah.
I failed the test.
I am not upset.
Nor am I upset and pretending that I am not.
I am not being emotionless and indifferent.
I am very emotionally as happy after failing as i was before passing.
I am NOT the guy whos' engagemnet brakes off and he has a lechaim in his dira to INSTILL in himself that it is for the best.

I am absolutely, genuinely, happily content and satisfied with this lot.
I will share why.
It is because i spent $400 and two & half months studying, online and with a tutor.
I took practice tests many times.
I used a book.
I typed notes into two sets.
I asked over 25 people to pray for my success.
Two gedolim were asked to daven for me and one said i will be matzliach.
I had bitachon.
I did a small level of genuine tshuva last night.
I gave tzedaka (to GYE!)
________________________
In short, i did not lack anything.
I needed to get %50 right to pass.
However, the college board has you sign this waiver that the rules are subject to change at any time. And they DID change-now you need to get %60 to pass. I got a %57.
_________________________
So here's why i am happy:
1)This is just a college test, not an aveirah against God or man
2)I did all that i could and yet Hashem still decided this was good for me
3)There were many possible pitfalls involved in passing the test and starting my career earlier than Hashem's plan, or differently then the best way for me
4)the next opportunity is the best for me
5)Hashem can give me parnassah in a thousand ways-you think the way that i thought of is the only way?!
6)Rabbeinu Yonah points out in mishlei that greater than the mundane act is the yiras shamayim and mitzvos involved within it-so i failed a math test but i got a good score for emunah, bitachon, davening.
7)with/o this whole story i never would have found GYE
So i will wait for Hashem to show me what's next. So far this is the best situation, because i put Hashem in the driver's seat and this is where he lead me.
Also, all the more time to learn, recover, maybe join an SA group or s/thing crazy like that.
And i'm almost done with with pirkei direbbi eliezer. maybe we'll finish tomorrow.
I said i would maybe write a little kuntress over bein hazmanim for my friends on GYe.
So b'n I will.
________________
I am not upset that it didnt go the best way because this is part of the plan.
Let's get pumped for purim!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
love, tz90

ma'ariv in one minute

in chizuk email yest. dov (?)was shocked to hear that R yeruchem said even the falls we have are part of the plan vichulei.....

it also in R tzadok tzidkas hatzadik #40
from r chaim vital in sefer arbah meos shekel kessef

so failing a test and acknowledging all along that its from hashems big plan is the very best way to do tshuva me'ahava, like r tzaddok says
and thats what purim is all about

so im on cloud nine

barchu ess.....

wow, what a great attitude you've got!
