Al Tarbeh!!/ To

I don't want to speak lashon hara about myself but I feel like I really have to. [Note: I googled the shyla if it is muttar to end a sentence with the word "to". Here was the tshuva: "Let's just cut to the chase: you absolutely can end a sentence with a preposition! The “rule” that says you can't really has no basis in actual writing. In fact, major style guides often consider this “rule” to be wrong and state that it is fine to end sentences with prepositions." So there! to. This should be לעילוי נשמת my high school English teacher פנינה ציפורה בת הרב משה who is sitting in Gan Eden with an infinite number of books of great literature, basking in the זיו השכינה. If she knew how much I wrote, she would say "Von Airman (that is what she called me sometimes), either learn English or do something else!"]

I can be so impolite when I want to [!]. The other day I heard this yungerman on the phone with one of his kids and he says intensely [he is seemingly a quiet guy but I have seen him get super intense. I want to talk to him about where this is coming from and how it makes him feel but I only give therapy when people sign a contract agreeing to pay me $250 dollars] "Give me mommy for ONE MINUTE".

I said to him that this is GOOD!! "אל תרבה שיחה עם האשה"!!!! 

[And remember - "באשתו אמרו קל וחומר באשת חבירו"!! See the scary ending!!!]

He thought I was so rude he didn't even respond.
