No Conflict Zone

::dropping head::

I have a stomach full of chocolate cresent rolls here I'm trying to enjoy here, lol!

I took Gabben to be assigning a quotation to what an N would say in each particular circumstance in which case first person would be appropriate, no?

All this farting.  I thought this was a no conflict zone, but there are methane bombs flying every which way ouch!   No.  Cut it out!

The title says "no conflict zone"  NOT "no fart zone"

  Pehaps I better rethink my marriage, because my H meets some of the criteria for NFD !  I'm sure the statistics would say that the
  majority of NFD's are male. 

  Hi Lighter, I guess it was ok about the hijack because of your comment about the chocolate cresent rolls?

  Glad to see some humor- I needed it today.

Hey catspaw:

Ya,

fart jack,

no big deal.

Nothing like a little bodily function humor, to take the edge off.

It reminds me of my brother.... 

when he was dating my old roomate.....

they'd be disagreeing about something and he'd slightly turn his rear towards her and say....

"you're upsetting my tummy"

and she'd continue on, soe he'd take a couple more comically small steps, causing his rear to point a bit more directly in her direction and repeat....

 "You're really upsetting my tummy"

By the time his weapon was brought fully to bear on her, she'd have dropped the subject and left the room.

A "no farting nonsense" kind'a gal, for sure.

The gas in the intestine is produced by bateria. The bacteri over growth causes excess of gas.

Even the most beautiful woman or prince will produce smelly farts. The bateria produces the same gas in every human, so there is no possible way that somebody does not have smelly gass.

Post 32 on this thread.

Second paragraph.

I've been a bit lengthy, lately.

Easy to miss something tucked away in a chapter, I understand: )

I signed off and was going to go to dance class when I saw your post. I signed in immediately and came to read it. Then i saw the 32. Sorry, did not see it.
Lupita.... your church situation reminds me of your classroom discilpine situation. 

There are no right choices, are there?

Not if you're trying to please everyone else, anyway.

I guess you do what you know is the right thing then quit thinking about it as best you can.  Good for you.... tell them what order things need to happen in be clear.  Be professional and polite.  Maybe they'll get it right?

I just finished reading EAT PRAY LOVE (when the Texan said "they got mosquitos so big here they could rape a chicken" I about peed my pants, so funny!) and I wish I could learn to meditate.... that might help us accept and make peace with the things we can't change... the unfair things that are so wrong.   

I think about it seriously every so often.... then don't do anything about it. 

I actually think my prayers are a meditation of sorts.  It feels like I'm focusing on one of those eye trick illusions when I pray successfully.  For now, that will have to do.

So you had a bad lunch with your son.  How is everything else on that front going?


When I read this, I felt a fricking stupif pain in my stomach. You said that it is the same in my classroom. F***ck.!!!!

It is not my classroom, it is my whole life.

You know, you are up to something with me. I guess is that stupid need of aproval. The students sense that and take advantage of that. They know I need them to like me and that is why they control me and push my bottons.

You just hit the neal.

Same at church, same at book club, same with friends, everybodt takes advantage of me because they feel the neediness.

I guess they know that you want to be liked and approved of.

They use it to jerk you around with.

You care and it matters to you..... what people think.

That's a good thing.... when it's not too big a piece of your life, I guess.

The opposite is a person without empathy who cares for no one's feelings but their own... they use people for their own selfish hurtful ends and you're problems are a  lot easier to fix than theirs.

Balance. 

Putting yourself first.

Requiring your needs be met and asking in the right way, with the right inflection, for the right reasons.

You don't know what it is to feel entitled bc your family never gave you any consideration.

You have to figure that out for yourself then get comfortable with it.

I guess we're all sneaking up on it now.

I hope that makes sense.  I;m a bit distracted with children in my lap.

Izzy,

Not sure I get what you're saying.
Looks to me like Gabben is giving a list of criteria and then follows each characteristic up with a quote of what a narcissist would say.
In any event I don't think Western civilization hinges on it one way or the other.

Mud is a direct descendant of Paul Bunyan.

Dunno where he lives but I'm sure he has a blue ox named Babe.
