Imagine if someone had 26 kids and named them all a name starting with a different letter. Then I'm thinking, what would the names be? What would public reaction be? Would they be on reality TV?


I can barely handle one kid. I’m not sure how anyone could have 20 kids and still consider each one a “blessing.”

Was thinking if starting the thread and sharing about a time that I took things too literally was a good thread to start or not. Was my writing too long? Should I shorten it? Is my spelling ok as I keep putting wrong letters... Like b instead of v and g etc.

I may need to get up soon.
It's kind of chilly in here.
Some people are nice.
The ones who are near me and rub me the wrong way, I start to get paranoid about. I wonder how to make that better?

Am I really gonna go through with a plan I have?

Umm. I would have to drop an anchor to say what is on my mind right now... Because as soon as I start wtiting and by the time I finish writing, my mind has moved onto several different subjects.

I had an imaginary world like that once, based on a picture book where the mom (I think she was a rabbit) had 26 kids with one name for each letter. I kept the names but made them humans and gave them personalities and defined the world and people around them. It was a pretty unrealistic scenario though.

I'm not feeling well.
Little things trip me up.

I know I'm not selfish.

I don't want to see my son lost.

If I have to put him up for adoption, I will.

If my family or the ones I asked can't help or won't, very likely.

I love him.

My God, I do.

Why the hell am I made this way?
I'm tired of people not being understanding toward sensory issues.
I'm tired of society not allowing me to speak out loudly against the rudeness of this.

One of the elders had told me, there wasn't family planning that time. But there was family planting. :twisted:




.. But seriously. When did I became a bit more vulnerable to heat all the sudden?

I had a big aspie experience yesterday, while working. Difficult to explain, but...even though I said nothing...the other person kept say, "You look frustrated" and she said it at least three times and got in my face about it while I was trying to get some information. Then she said "how long have you been working at this job," and I told her about 20 years. She said "then you should know how to do this." I so do not know a good way to handle this. Basically, I blink my eyes slowly a few times, look at her straight on, say nothing. I went in and talked to the client so he would know what was going on and I left. I have no idea why this person was in my face about a very complex issue that few people know the process of. I can't even write a decent English sentence about it.

I'm sorry this happened blazingstar. You're a competent professional and we all have moments of shutdown. It sounds like you handled the situation responsibly. I hope you have a better day today.

What's on my mind?

I'm loving the rain but also wishing it would stop. I'd like to go boating again.

Thank you, Isabella.

What kind of boating do you do?

Blazing star

"You look frustrated" is manipulative

They act like they :evil: care :twisted: , but they are implying that you are wrong to feel "frustrated"

A friend told me that I "seem frustrated"

Correct

But the point is, what made me frustrated

The point is not my reaction


:mrgreen:

Power boating. Where I'm staying on this part of my holiday there's a bowrider and a smaller fishing boat with an outboard. There's also a paddleboat :)

I don't sail and never really have.

I agree with shortfatman too ^ .

Hugs!

Thanks to shortfatuglybald man for your analysis. I think you are correct that I was reacting to the intent behind the words, and the intent was manipulative and/or threatening. I just can't think what the point was. But that is a useful thing for me to think about.

Isabella, I love being out on the water. I am not fond of sailing however. Motor boats have their uses, for fishing and sight seeing and tasting the wind. I hope you can get out today.
