Thursday Think 'n' Share XLII
You might have thought I was on my way to forgetting for the second week in a row. But no, here it is, with a few hours still left in your Thursday. Let's get to it! Leave me some comments with your own answers.
What is likely to cause you to "blow up"?
Most of my anger gets expressed behind the wheel. Whether people become more stupid when they get on the highway or whether we just encounter more people as a whole, and thus encounter more people who are stupid and/or assholes. It's not like I chase down some idiot to beat him into a bloody pulp--I usually get over it pretty quickly, but I sure do get pissed sometimes.
What is the best thing for you to do when you feel yourself becoming angry?
Just stop, listen to myself, and get over it. Anger is pretty much irrational or at least counterproductive, and it's sure easy to make an ass of yourself when you're angry, so I just try to slow down a bit and that usually takes care of it. In the car, I indulge it, get it out, get it over with, and move on.
Dream up a fantastic vacation for you and your family and tell about it.
Well, this would be different from my own fantastic vacation, because I would fly somewhere, but my mother is terrified of flying. So the fantastic vacation I'd share with my mom would be to drive across the country. She traveled a lot more when she was younger, both with her family moving from place to place and just vacation traveling, and I know she'd like to go back and see some of those sights again.We'd take months and just go... pretty much everywhere.
