reminders
i won't:
be the next gadol hador this week
have relations solely leshaim shomayim with no self-interest whatsoever this week
have perfect kavana during davening
be as punctual as a yekkie
be perfect
be ideal
be competing with Rush Limbaugh who is pure talent (at least in his own eyes)

i will bl'n:
do small good things
think about someone else
appreciate things i have
laugh at myself
have relations (conditions permitting) at my level
accept things as they are
and lastly - sing zemiros

thank you UAJ, Gibbor120 and for being such good friends and helping me remember these things

you can't compete with Rush Limbaugh but it sounds like you could be a tough adversary for Tiger Woods

Good shabbos zemmy!

Are frogs allowed to be depressed?  :o :-\

my good friend Gibbor once had a good line:
if you coast you're toast

i think i am/was coasting
losing sight of where i should be heading and not working towards it, just relying on my 'record'.
like the Mesilas Yesharim writes in his hakdama, i need to remember the basics. and take small steps in the right direction.
that's my motto for this afternoon.
small steps in the right direction.
i won't be the gadol hador or even - lehavdil, ch'v - Rush or Tiger (not sure what was meant with Tiger btw) today. i hope no one here was being my friend on the assumption i will be a member of the Moetzes Gedolei Hatorah at some point.
if you were i think you should sidle over to Dov's thread, i think he has a much better shot. wait, Dov doesn't have a thread....

tiger can't do that and sing zemiros. It's one or the other.

Of course Dov has a thread: www.guardyoureyes.org/forum/index.php?topic=458.0 

he's got single posts longer than that entire thread

I think he's got a better shot at getting put in cherem  :o  ;D

That's not a thread, it's just a little trimming 

This one, on the other hand, is an entire spool  ;D

see Shivchei haBesht daf gimmel amud gimmel, and joseph perl's Bochen Tzaddik Michtav beis footnote #4 the answer to his question is obviously that the first tzfardea story should be the yesh omrim, and the second one should be the first. in Rabbi Mondstein's Shivchei MiKsav Yad, the first story is left out altogether... anyone with me?  ;D

Also for Alice's Rebbetzin Elka's opinion on the intelligence of frogs, see Adventures in Wonderland Chapter VI

Like!!!

But regarding Dov's "existence" on the forum he posted this in a bunch of places yesterday:



First the Rebberebbards! then the Rebberebber! What will become of us??!!!!

one quote at a time

i wonder if Dov got a preliminary appointment to the Moetzes and was asked to come down to Ft.Lauderdale with the pitchers and catchers for spring training come in for frock-and-homburg fitting and measuring so he had to leave the forum....

Better than wraps?

sushi is a wrap... made of seaweed.  Definitely not hamotzei .
