Say what?

I'm not sure if you're aware (I'd need to search DDF to see if you sent me condolences) that I am in the year of mourning after the passing of a parent. It is customary that for 11 months a mourner leads prayer services (and even when not, like on Shabbos or days like today and tomorrow - a celebration of new month, Kaddish is still recited by the mourners).

You've been to 770, but not when it was fully crowded. I've had people who stay in the back for services mention to me that they appreciate when I lead services or recite Kaddish in the front, as they can hear it loud and clear.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Can I vote for my wife? I can't ever recall her yelling at me.  :-[

I was not aware and please accept my deepest sympathies on your loss.

Here is what I meant by "say what". When I visited, you spoke clearly but in soft tones.

Your sympathies are kindly appreciated.

My loud voice might only come out when I am in a (somewhat) noisy environment, as background noise makes it hard for me to hear even myself, so my volume just automatically rises. Or it might just be that raising my volume to be heard doesn't take effort, so I just don't see it as yelling. It's not only volume, but how voice projects, I think my voice tends to project far and clear.

I can't recall if there were any background conversations when you visited, if that was the case, I might have made a conscious effort to speak low.

For those living in Lakewood please think twice before you respond, we can verify it with your tenant/landlord

As a hearing impaired person, if I don't actively listen nothing gets through.... unless you yell. Gives me an unfair advantage in any argument and unfairly forces the other party to yell.

I listen to Barstools Pardon my take on the way to work so I can be happy and have an enjoyable day.
On the day home I listen to Ben Shapiro so I can be angry at the world. If I well at my wife it's on him.

Other than using 2-way radios, how else would she hear me?

Was gonna say sign language, but that would require binoculars.

I was in Monsey in a shull some bored soul pulled the fire alarm, the shut it but the fire department came down,
The fireman comes out yelling "what's going on over here" and those that interacted started getting on edge what ever they said he yelled back, till at some point he apologized about his loudness he explained that he had some hearing issues and therefore he is naturally louder than usual

Next and very important question - once you realize that you yelled, do you apologize?

Why wait until you realize you did something? As soon as you see s/he feels hurt apologize even without that!
