[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I have also come up INTJ sometimes and INFJ sometimes and INFP on occasion. I'm not sure what to do with that. They all kind of sound like me, maybe.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I've never taken the Myers-Briggs test.

Me, neither!

I have trouble with the tests, because I answer them the way I see myself. So I can find out my ideal image's identification, but not necessarily my own.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I am ENFJ. I have not used the test is work situations--although I can see that it could be very helpful.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

My mom's friend teaches first grade. They took their school to The Nutcracker today. This conversation happened:

Kid 1: "miss b! why does that girl keep walking on her toes like that?"
Miss B : "um, because it's ballet?"
Kid 2: "what's ballet?"
Kid 1: "i think it's spanish for 'tights'"

Bwhahahahahahahaha!!

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

I am an INFP, although one time, when I was sublimating a heartbreak into concentrating on studying, I tested as an INTP.

Also, things that pee and can't flush are not my speed.

This probably wont' help, but ... [link]

Thank you all very much for the ~ma earlier today. I was able to figure out what needed to happen, and what I need to do to fix my fumble on this project. Best of all, I was not a twitchy, nervous wreck all day.

Excellent news, Anne!

Shit's all sorts of different now.

So I need some advice. Again. For I am unable to do anything on my own.

I have a situation with a few of the girls in my Daisy troop - they do not listen to me or my co-leader. They wander around the room and disrupt other girls and don't seem interested in what we are doing. A couple of the girls are your basic non-payer attention 5 year olds. They frustrate the hell out of me, but usually their parents are there and I can get them to come hang with their daughter and that works. But I have another girl. And she's very sweet and very caring and I adore her. When her mother bothers to give her her medication. She has one of the worst cases of ADHD I've ever seen. When she's not medicated, she's impossible. A lot of our energy is spent trying to keep her under control. And her mom is very young. And doesn't have control of her child, either. I need to have a conversation with Mom about Daughter being disruptive. I don't want to mention medication or get that personal or even go near where it could be construed as me telling someone how to parent, because I don't know their family outside of Daisies. But I don't know how to start the conversation. And I don't want to lose the girl from my troop - I really do like her. I just need her to be a little more chill. If this was your kid, what would be the most effective way for me to bring this issue to you?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Aimee, what about something like asking the mother what she does to control the daughter, or if she has any suggestions for what you should do.
