Still Raging Against The Machine

[guardureyes]

am i getting closer?

Na, you don't know dovish. I think your first post was good too. After all, you wrote "we are given the power to change". Not that we HAVE it

Sometimes I plant little seeds of things around my life, so that if I find myself in a dark or hungry place I'll ALWAYS have a safe place to go with a little burried treasure and a siman that the world is still here to take care of me. I think I want to plant these words so that next time the Y'H tries to have a little "fun" at my expense, I'll know just where to go for reinforcement.

Briut, this was very deep, to me. We should all have these seedlings. My comforting seedling was lust for way, way, too long...yours sound a lot healthier. We all need nechama and menucha. Thanks.

Thanks for that,

"thanks for that" is dovish for "wtf are you talking about" and then i realized why:

 

Rage, you make me laugh so hard (that I won't say what happens)! And iut loud! Thanks. You know, it's only you and bards who do that to me. Even though you still seem like 'bipolar opposites' to me. Ha.

Rage now I gotta make u laff

Laff in the face of th YH yupp he gave up his position he was lurking in the shadows but when he came up from the bowels of the abyss
He just uncovered himself

Laff at him

He is a desperate loser

That's right

The YH. Is the SQUEEGEE-MAN!!

[dov]

How about that! And all along, I thought the squeegee-man was my friend!

Used to 'splain it in plain NEWYAWK english

If you get the sqeeegee man off the street then there are no trouble makers to sell crack to
So the Moideh rates drop the city becomes a nice place to visit and the price of Yankees tickets go up(unless your governor and get Em for free)

He leaves your car dirtier than when you drove up, you find yourself a lot poorer than when you got in, and you feel abused, cheapened and violated as you drive away, YUP I'll agree with Bards assessment of the YH being the squegee man!!

[dov]

Just say "no" to SQUEEGEE!
Actually, saying "no" is for dummies. We need to just keep on trucking - if necessary, right over him.

That it just makes no difference to try

Funny, just yesterday we had a daily dose of dov in the chizuk e-mail that said the same thing. And I quote: "I can share with you that there are times when our "trying" is just not enough, no matter how you slice it."

Instead, he suggests "Trusting harder" instead of "Trying harder"  ...Check it out... It's a beautiful peice from Dov. (Like every day  )

I also just want to throw in my 2 cents. We all know that success is not in our hands. Trying is though. Who said G-d wants you to succeed to have long streaks? Maybe he wants to see if you'll keep trying in spite of losing it every once in a while? Our business is only the NOW.... And the "trying" does add up. When we're ready, and only G-d knows that, we'll look back and find that the days we managed to stayed clean added up to a clean streak of 10 years! But for now, there's no looking back, nor looking forward. How are you doing right now? That's all Hashem wants to know 

Oh, and one last thing. The handbook suggests progressively more intense tools, if what we've been trying till now hasn't worked. So you've tried the forum... what's next to try? After all, we gotta heal from this disease before it kills us. If Tylenol is not helping, maybe we need anti-biotics... maybe even chemo. Are you willing to give it your all and fulfill what you came down to this world to do? It's only 120 years here, and it's eternity there. Eternity is, like, forever. you know...
