but that is irrelevant since the excuses are just excuses and answereing them up will usually not make us any closer to taking the step

I have pushed off calling someone for months cuz its too early or late or i'm busy or maybe he's busy or...

You can do it to kil!

YOU GUYS CAN KILL IT! But don't kill your mentor and if you do, bigmoish please call the other Canadian number

Lately, one of the people I've been chatting with on gmail is "mgsbms."
He can't access GYE because of his filter (he only connected to me through a glitch, which has since been fixed).
He would appreciate for anyone who is interested to reach out to him, so he can stay out of isolation.
His email is: mgsbms@gmail.com

im looking to install a filter. Can anyone recommend the ones that wont block GYE? that would suck

Most filters let you whitelist sites so you can just add GYE to the list.

Sister in law is
making me nuts. Time to call
a G-Y-E friend.

Iboiyah lehu,

Is your sister in law nuts, and making you nuts through osmosis,
Or is she activating a hidden nuts inside of you,
Or are you really not going nuts, rather it's the rest of the world who are crazy, and since everyone else is nuts you feel as if you're the crazy one?
Or are you crazy, and she's making you feel normal?

The N"M are if calling a gye friend is making you normal again, or returning you to your default state of crazy.

תא שמע דאתמר אמר ר' ישראל דגן מי שהוא לא משוגע בעולם הזה הוא לא נורמלי

I understand what the oilam is sayin', but I'd like to put this in perspective, and I'd like us to back off from Big Moish.
I know many stories from fellows on this site, and I certainly know my own.
Which one of us is not crazy?
The extent we would go for our personal desire, obsession and fetish!
Now, there are professionals who state the claim that most of these passions are well within the realm of men expressin' their sexuality, but I will not go there.
Let us even say that we are wrong (as frum Jews) or extreme (on the planet), but ultimately, that is our obsession; that is our nisayon; this is our sickness!

Now, I am not pickin' on Inna for the term 'meshuga,' for that is really what it is...meshuga l'oso davar....but it is not so simple for Big Moish to remove his s.i.l. from his mind; it is not so simple for others to remove their fixation; and yes, it ain't so easy for me either! I have said goodbye several times already in the past three years, only to say hello once again. What's up with that? My fixation will be the in-depth topic of discussion by my next appointment with specialist, so perhaps that will become clearer.

In any event....fixation, obsession, fetish, etc. whatever da Hell it is...it is much easier to ignore when the battle cry simply is: Today! Damn it! Today!
