Please Pass the Duct Tape I have long agreed with the following sentiments but this is so hard to live up to without duct tape for my mouth or in our case here finger splints so we can't type. As An ADD person I can be quick to react with a verbal volcano and either spew out a bunch of nonsense or say things I really don't mean,want to say or just come out wrong. I find it helpful to go to a word processing program and pound out my thoughts. I leave them alone for a day or so, go back and look them over and consider if my point is still worth making and if so how to best present it. Spiritwoman ^i^ |

Hi Spirit: I really admire the way you express yourself in this group, even to someone who just insulted you. I hate confrontations of any kind, so I take as much as I possibly can from someone without comment, then I type something I usually regret later.

Universal fix it too. Will be heading out for a couple of days off the grid the end of the week and duct tape is high on the list of mist haves. Spiritwoman ^i^

Definitely tests the limits but also gives excellent insight to understand who some of the folks are. Spiritwoman ^i^

God gave you a voice so why conclude that what you have to say would be a waste? It's about sharing the good news and persuasion, not about being a quitter. What I've discovered by being open in life is that so many people are hungry to participate, contribute, learn, and make a difference. So many are discouraged, in need of help, desire a sense of belonging and want to be heard. Can you hear me NOW? Being open is one thing and I am. Just doesn't mean I need to go on and on all of the time. if I were to go on and on after stating point no one would hear me when I have something important to say. I also like to make sire what I have to contribute is appropriate and relative instead of babble running through my mind. These are major challenges for us ADD people. Spiritwoman ^i^

Duct tape? I was just in the hardware store and saw many lovely colors of it. You want turquoise, gold, silver, leopard, tie-dye or hot pink?

It is but it helps to consider the fact that if someone chooses to make me a target it means that deny it as they might they put some value in what I have to say. If they didn't they wouldn't even acknowledged me as I would not be worth the time. Spiritwoman ^i^

We all do. That is why I need duct tape at times. Spiritwoman ^i^

Best way to deal with. Years ago I attended a workshop called "who owns the problem?". It was all about analyzing the situation and mot taking responsibility for another persons issues. I still use the methods presented to analyze things rather than react emotionally. Spiritwoman ^i^

One of Chuck's favorite sayings. "you can't fix stupid." I concur but try not to use the word stupid. I am around my young grandchildren a lot and stupid is a word they are not allowed to use at school. More duct tape please. Grandma needs it. Spiritwoman ^i^

Spirit --it's Grace -- mighty got me blocked but I talked to the powers that be and they will let me return if I behave and seriously they said block everyone that you simply can't deal with and blog away -- basically stay away from conflict -- so I will take their very good advice!!

When I worked for DCFS we loved it when clients wanted to argue their case on court. That usually won the case for us. Spiritwoman ^i^

I think that it is appropriate that the record be set straight. Piper/Grace made a comment that is not true. As Hobson said SFF will not give the names of people that complain and more importantly I have not reported her to SFF. I have blocked her and her other screen names to effectively shut the door to her stage. I will continue to do that when people come to my blog under false pretenses. Coach, I hate to bust your bubble, bud, but you are inconsequential to me...other than your crude comment that you posted to my wife's blog. That was posted under your attempt to gain access to my blog by creating an alias under the name of iggy. Clean up your language around my wife and stay the hell away from me, my wife and our blogs. Got it? Sorry to hear about all of the discord. As you know I base how I see and respond to people as individuals based on how they treat me. You have always been respectful and pleasant with me and I hope we can continue Spiritwoman ^i^

I didn't think they would provide the person who was banned with the name(s) of the people who made complaints. Good luck with staying away from the conflict, considering you couldn't even post to this blog without having to mention his name.....lol Spiritwoman ^i^

Of course we can continue. We respect each other in spite of differences that we may have on how we evaluate things. I extend respect until someone begins to address me as several here seem to be inclined to do. I have expressed myself to those that broached that boundary of respect and that is all that I intended to do. Spiritwoman ^i^
