Pretty sure we need a poll about this. 

Hmm.

Hmmm.

Its probably just our imagination.

I am so grateful that somebody raised this important discussion. It makes me feel validated to know I am not alone. 

Eerie ALWAYS ignores my call. Always. 

At first I thought it was something I ate. But then I realized It's probably much deeper...

It's a fully alert and fully conscious ignoring, you know, the kind of conscious that would make a fall of zera levatalah be considered a real fall (thank you GYE).

I would like to offer some ideas on what to do if eerie ignores your call in desperate times of need. Note: these ideas are just simply things that worked for me, it doesn't have to work for everyone. 

- Ice cold shower/mikvah
- Shower call with another GYE friend
- Gilgul Sheleg (depending on your local climate)
- Stuff your face into a tub of ice cream and keep it there till the urge passes
- Open freezer, remove shelves, sit inside until urge subsides (Note: be sure to notify a loved one before this idea is implemented)

I hope that was helpful. 

It does not take away the pain of being ignored by eerie, but at least it's something to tide you over.

Dear chaver.

Thank you for the honest share. I know exactly how you feel since you're not unique. I too felt everything you felt, except better and realer. So I know exactly what you should do to have Eerie stop ignoring you. Listen to me and you'll be fine.

Chaver I also tried all sorts of crazy things to have Eerie stop ignoring me. Way nuttier than you. Gilgul sheleg? I once froze myself inside a giant ice cube and had a crane drop me in Eerie's Coke. Nothing. Gurnisht!

But now things are different. Now there's real internal change. Now I've gone more days than you ever will without ever having Eerie ignore my call even once.

Here's how to do it:

Step one. Buy a copy of the Battle of the Generation.
Step two. Make two TAPSHICHS and three SA meetings.
Step 3. The number of your mentors and accountability partners must follow this equation: f(mentors) = (x^3 + 2x^2 - 5x + 1) * sin(buddies(x)) / (x * sqrt(x^2 - 4)).
Step 4.Results are guaranteed

Freezing yourself in a cube? 

Once when I was having an urge I lit myself on fire until there was nothing left but ashes!

But the ashes kept having urges too so I spread the ashes over the ocean!

When that didn't work finally finally Eerie picked up. And he had room in his heart even for a drenched pile of ashes. Now that's a friend

All of the above and make sure to reach out to HHM.
If he ignores your call, it might be time for desperate measures; like emailing Dov.

The thing with being ignored by Eerie, is that his voicemail message is so bloody WARM that it makes the pain of rejection so much worse.

Oh the pain I'm hearing in al these posts....

I LOVE IT!!!!!!!

Hurt baby Hurt!

Chaver I feel your pain. It must be tough having people cry to you that they are only calling you because they're being ignored by Eerie. And you have to provide that warm, caring support while feeling the very same painful rejection.
Oy, Ribono Shel Olam. Look at the pain of your children!

I actually was referring to OTHER numbers…

The Ikaar Is, Limaaseh, to keep calling Eerie again and again and again.  For the following reasons: 

1. The Rebbe said NEVER give up. Gevalt ! There’s no Yiyush in the world! 
2. Even if you don’t get through, at least you’ll get to hear his warm fuzzy message each time. 
3. Even if he doesn’t pick up, at least your know you’re on his mind, each time he pushes the “ignore” button..

Just sharing what works for me.  
Results may vary.  

I have a few things to say here
actually, one minute, someone is calling, hello...

No, don't pick up!!!

Awwww. They wanted to hear your voicemail . . . 

I'm so shy to post... but after seeing the therapeutic effect it seems to have on the oilam I am mustering up the courage.
You know it's really hard to be ignored by the venerable Eerie.
I was sure I was the only one struggling with this.
But now that I see that there others who have had the problem for YEARS and have broken free - I can too!
I thik its a mindset thing
