Cordnoy please explain (3 sentence minimum please)

It's difficult for me, but the thought is that it's reshus, the mundane, the קדש עצמך במותר לך that leads to קדושה.

@Singularity: I think I do, at least for this. That does not mean that it isn't important to constantly be reminded that were the circumstances slightly different I might be dead. And I think that even with the precautions that I have taken if I had no need for youtube, I would blacklist it completely. 

So thank you for the reality check.

On the topic of YouTube, did anyone see the latest GYE email? Videos coming to GYE!!! Very exciting. Currently videos only related to addiction, but I'm hoping it will be expanded to include other videos as well (such as spiders and/or hyenas)

No matter how many tigers, buffalo, leopard, bears and more videos I watch, I always go back to the lions.

I avoided going to the dentist for 15 years or so. I knew my teeth were in bad shape and just didn't want to deal with it. Then the pain became worse and worse, and I knew I couldn't procrastinate anymore. I was sure I was in for root canals, oral surgery, and possibly dentures. So I went. But guess what? It wasn't that bad. Sure, I needed a cleaning, a deep painful cleaning. Plus a filling or 2. But that's it. I was sent home with my toothbrush and reminded to floss and brush daily.

Actually, I have a few ideas of my own, but I wanted to hear his point, if he had one.

Hesitated to write nimshal mefurash because probably wouldn't be able to express it clearly & would be misunderstood. I'd love to hear other people's pshat and comments.
Plus much more entertaining this way.

You wrote the mashal, and you want others to write the nimshal!?

II, for one, will not take the bait.

I didn't realize there was a nimshal. Ummm... That we should floss?
