That reminds me, I went through our rack of skis on the weekend to check on their condition and realized once again I didn't put a coat of summer wax on them at the end of the season.

Some say I'm an anti-waxxer.

In parenting theory, there is a concept called Mindful Ignoring. Or, at least, there was such a concept when I was raising young children.

That sounds, P3, like a really sound concept. In a world that constantly tells parents they need to manage and fix every single reaction in real time, that quiet space would be pure magic. Did you find it gave you and your kids a bit more breathing room back then?
 
Jae, you're not our child. We are not responsible for you. You're simply a longtime member who lashes out on a fairly regular basis over the weirdest things, just to get a negative reaction.

I'm not mad at you. I simply don't understand your motivations. I'm morbidly curious if you're like this at work and home, but I know you'll be like, "What are you talking about?," so no need to answer that one.

How you have not created a diplomatic emergency between Canada and South Korea, I'll never know. You're capable.

Google AI says:
Mindful ignoring combines conscious awareness with deliberate disengagement, serving different purposes depending on whether you are managing your own internal thoughts or guiding a child's behavior.

So basically the silent treatment?
How does that resolve anything when stress is buried and not dealt with?

No, not silent treatment.

As i understand it, you are ignoring particular behaviours and responding to others

In any way shape and form it sounds complex and thus difficult for those looking for the opposite ... I'd go for the thinking medium as mean intellect towards them wishing for a mindless solution that's passionate ... mind blowing! Thus that hollowed out appearance ...

Reminds me of that poor old minor in an arid place ... no whetstones for sharpening ...
 
Can one be conscious when When doing something that makes them excessively emotional? When conscious of the serious state of the world around us ... can one be happy?

It seems to be to be tremendously happy in todays world would require a peculiar state of mindfulness ... like the mind being blown completely ... unlikely present and thus out there ... seems to indicate something that few are conscious about ... nothing here but the bones thereof ... bonehead!

A sign ...

I really tried for years, but Jae isn't interested in improving his social skills. His go-to move is to generate angry reactions and claim victim status, so when you see this crap he posts, just sigh and move on.

It's easy to fall into the trap of doing what he wants you to do. I struggle mightily.

But as Jae points out, the grass is always greener somewhere else. Imagine working with Jae every day. We have it pretty good in comparison.

It’s really disappointing, chansen, to see you post something like this publicly instead of talking to me directly. I've always just been authentic to how I feel. Attacking my character like this says more about you than about me

It's disappointing to read a post like this, chansen, but I don't have to defend my personal life or my character to you. If you don't like what I post, feel free to keep on scrolling
 
Good morning! Tuesday has come. Hope your day is starting out well. Yesterday was a busy day, with toes and nails meeting, more discussion about parents' driving, some parental advice, hiking and birthday dinners, and more. These topics and others will likely pop up today as we gather round the Coffee Cart, for our conversation, support, and camaraderie. We will drink coffee and tea, and soon will add hot chocolate to the mix as well. We will also enjoy the products of the Wonderbaker, who today has created Belgian waffles for us to enjoy, with several jams and syrups to top them.
The tea water is boiling, the coffee is freshbrewed, and theaffles are ready to serve. All is ready, everyone is welcome. Come in and join the fun!

If people do not take comfortably to the story for mulling it over will the story become a griffon and carry them off unconsciously in the night ... that appears as gneiss to some that will not slide into the rest with ease ... thus some of us go softly just leaving the difficult word ... about unknown ... the vast mystery in the riff ... ask with care ... like Anna Karenina she had her purpose to place a calm between social and capital works.

Who can resolve it? That disseminated ethereal few in a stretch ... as they rise from the sleeping giant for a bit of outside experience prior to returning to the point ... imagine the view as omniscient ... all seeing period of temporal nature? Timely ... and then past ... you half-Ta reach out or you are all alone and autonomous ... exhausting! Will we ever get it ... therein the turn ... temporal!
 
Good morning everyone. I was happy to see my parenting style has a name. I thought of it as 'survival' in the past. Much time with the grandkids over the past week makes me wonder about my parenting style too. I have certain expectations and I expressed them....which made me sound a bit like a grouchy grandma. But they were not unreasonable: pick up your little cars that you shoot all over the house (they could cause a fall for Grandma and Grandpa), help put away your laundry after I've washed and dried it (but why????was the question), etc. Also, if I ask or say something, I expect it to be listened to.
 
Imagine listening and passing on intelligence and wisdom ... then there are those conflicted as they rather not ... they must save themselves alone ...
