Hi HS,
sorry to hear about the 'being ignored' feeling. I think i know what you mean.
something that worked for me was to make a chavrusashaft with the fellow. Even if its only once a week. It can guve you some private time where you two will interact.
Your summer plans sound great

Daven and then decide of you hurt him in some way. If not then it might be good to write him a short note snd lesave it on his talisbeitel or table in an envelope asking "Are you not speaking to me, Reb________?" It seems that way to me.Can I help you?" signed yourself ("Hashem's Soldier" may coinfuse things a bit...

Hatzlocha!

the point is that i thought that it might be more than a litle hurt or feeling of beign ignored.
i thought that it must be self esteem issues or etc.

the place that the chassunah that is out of country is taking has wonderful scenery. i am hopig to be abl to expirience a lot of A&W momoents

it took me about 200 feathers....but i think yesterday i finally got the skill of making a kulmus. mor importantly a consistant kulmus.

Just make sure to avoid the "dangerous scenery" that can cause other kind of A&W (Ach 'n' Way) moments.

HS, you are better than Thomas Edison, it took him a few thousand tries before he was able to get the right material for a filament

all those feathers reminded me of a story i read yesterday in Reb Shlomo Freifeld's biography (great book, btw, not the regular gadol biography who knew shas at age 5 and never looked back from there). He was a great admirer of the Ribnitzer Rebbe zt'l, who was known as a great baal mofes. Reb Shlomo would want to hear stories about the Ribnitzer's mesirus nefesh, not his mofsim.
Under Communist rule he would encourage the Jewish housewives to bring him their chickens so he could shecht them according to halacha and as an incentive he offered to feather any chicken brought to him...

where can i get those feathers?
i used up almost all of mine. only have 5 left for 6 amudim.
(btw if i really knew how to make a kulmus i would only need about 5 or 10 vto make a meggilah.)

If you can wait, there is a minhag in Bobov where all bochurim wear a feather (all sizes and colors) in their hats on Shushan Purim.
