I know you have a nice network of friends in Beit Shemesh who would probably be happy to help (I would be happy to help! I live 45 min's away, though - so I can't regularly drive there, but if it's something like this hafnaya or pharmacy nonsense here n' there, I can do it as long as I can work it with the kid-schedule). Is this something that you have to show your face for or can someone else do it for you? The phone stuff is mostly waiting on hold and giving you info too, right? I could do the waiting if you give me the info.<br />Basically, I'm sure we would all like to help, but you have to let people KNOW what you need before it's a headache for you.<br />That was outRAgeous that this happened. The strong front works well for you (liked your post about "fake it til you make it"!) and no idiotic bureaucracy should EVER insist you drop it and crumble before they do their jobs. No crying (unless you feel like it). Not for THEM. It's not a weakening of your strong personna to get upset over this -- you'd be outraged if you heard about it happening to somebody else, so why not for yourself? It's inexcusable on their part.<br />I'm glad you got what you needed. Next time feel free to call me for whatever I can do to help. If I can do it, bli neder, I will.<br />LeahYMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06541942692185356643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4454210556244278235.post-24158229858485961892012-12-04T18:06:53.584+02:002012-12-04T18:06:53.584+02:00I am glad this one worked out and hope you are fee...I am glad this one worked out and hope you are feeling a bit stronger. If it hasn't occurred to you already, you may want to get some of those disposable masks people wear when exposed to unhealthy chemicals when you are in crowded places. My father in law wore them when he was going through chemo and I think it was really smart. Thinking of you.tikun olamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06963796462253093642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4454210556244278235.post-82539840441288483812012-12-04T17:54:37.477+02:002012-12-04T17:54:37.477+02:00My husband would read this and say something about...My husband would read this and say something about klipot.

Although the world has changed a million times for you since high school, I see the same beautiful smile and genuine kindness glowing from you. You are very strong and I pray that Hashem brings you to complete health quickly! Regarding your problem stated in this blog; when you need something from a person or an office, just cry or start telling them what you're going through(without the strong appearance). It usually works(either because they feel bad for you or they just want to get rid of you ;)). Either way, it sucks that you have to deal with this! I hope tomorrow is a better day! <br />love,<br />Mimi Mimi Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00658526191601919273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4454210556244278235.post-81834126152069995302012-12-04T13:54:01.601+02:002012-12-04T13:54:01.601+02:00Thank you Rachel!
