Sauntering, finding the quiet soothing. It's not normally like this so it's nice to be able to enjoy it.

Does your place you go to really allow you to unwind, relax and recharge? Or does it it just push away the thoughts of the moment? Is one better than the other?

 

[Suz_anne]

Are you saying I owe you and her? That's the kind of debt I like

Yes. That's exactly what I'm saying.

Yes, it absolutely allows me to unwind, relax and most importantly recharge. I don't think you can do those things when you're just temporarily pushing something aside. Having a still mind feeds me, calms me and centers me more than anything.

How you get there is so different from person to person. I'm beyond thankful that I found my way.

My place is definitely a place to unwind, relax, recharge as well as let go of anything troubling....just for a moment be at total peace. ....Hear the roaring sounds, the strong winds, just takes your breath away.

I have trouble unwinding. I'm a pusher-awayer. Or more like a focus on something elser. A stay-busy-er.

I unwind in my car. I unwind when the music is blasting and I'm singing along. I unwind when I am *in the zone* at work. I unwind when I'm running like hell and sweating like a whore in church. I unwind by chopping veggies.

Funny enough, when I don't need to unwind? I find myself unwinding.

Ever think right as you’re about to cut up the cucumber, “hmmm... maybe I’ll skip this in the salad and I’ll get freaky with it later on.”
This is totally a legitimate question.

Like Trekka, I have a hard time unwinding. I unwind by singing in the car too, actually. And yeah, sometimes with the "in the zone" at work (these days the zone is a secure area with limited access and no distractions). I unwind as the five minute start sequence to the race counts down and we get the boat in the right position. I unwind as the spinnaker fills and feel the boat accelerate...
I unwind as I drink a beer and bitch about administrators with my friends.
And lately, I'm starting to find that maybe I can unwind as I sip a glass of wine and cook up some dinner with my wife.
Lately, I'm discovering that her and I can help each other unwind...we're working on it...maybe...slowly.

I'd also like to see her "sweating like a whore in church"....

Pssst.... I’m exactly the same in RL as I am here.

Pssst...I wanna see you in RL too

Intuition and street smarts, do you have it? Did it come with age or has it always lived inside you? And when you know better, do you still itch to play with fire or more inclinded to walk away and say “oh hell no”?

Hubs says I am emotional and incapable of making a logical choice. I say I go with my gut. My intuition is strong. Street smarts, not as much. Hubs has said my friendly nature is seen as flirting and if he wasn't there, would get me into trouble. He's probably right but don't tell him I said that.

I don't play with fire. Matches sometimes, maybe a lighter now and then but I tend to back away with things get too hot.

In general I have found that I'm a good judge of people. (I think that's what you mean). If I follow my gut, I usually find that the people I like are good people, and the people that send up "red flags" are not.

And generally, I don't "play with fire." I don't cut myself off from people that send up red flags, but I keep myself out of their line of fire.

I'm best in person. And I've had a difficult time trusting people here. And yet, so far, when I have really extended it, that trust has not been abused.

What's really funny is that I'm pretty sure, I'm a good judge of people here too. I'm probably too cautious here (I'm less so in real life), but even here, I can't really think of a time when I was really "wrong."

We still have "well look at those Wednesday"

I've always had a good sense of street smarts and intuition about my surroundings and the people around me. I started out in a sketchy neighborhood so it was sort of a survival skill. I am inclined to walk away, but every now and then I just can't help myself.

I don't know if I have an abundance of intuition and/or street smarts, but looking back on things, it seems that I may have just been inordinately lucky. I think of some things I've done and situations I've been in and think that it almost seems as if I was asking for trouble. If it's not dumb luck, then maybe my intuition and smarts have kept me just barely on this side of safety.

Maybe.

My intuition is rock star status. I have a commendable balance in rational thinking, instinct and then possible said consequences. My street smarts are decent as well.
Always felt very intuitive, not sure if it’s because I’m more apt to think more with my head than my heart. It’s a possibility.
When circumstances arise and I have that mixed feeling of “I don’t know about this...” I’m really good at pausing and (re)thinking my next step. I’ll usually resort to generalities and step away slowly if I don’t feel comfortable. No back log of regrets here.
Play with fire, oh hell no. I’ll flick the Bic lighter to create a little spark. I’d rather sit in the cold before dabbling with fire. Not my style.

My heart just skipped a beat

 

[ChainedUp]

Slacking.......huh......

Mine is binary, either fully locked in or I've got no clue. Sometimes it's situational other times I turn it on purposefully

 

[Trekka]

Intuition: check.
Street smarts: check.
Fireplay: check.

Next question.

Intuition - not so much.
Street smarts - yes, thank goodness.
I don't play with fire, but I do flirt with it from time to time.

Hmm I don't know if it's intuition or anticipation. My boys gave me super spidey senses as they grew up. Trying to get away with things I got away with and failing miserably. Example..me coming home from work. what were you all doing up on the roof? Them in unison...how did you know we were on the roof? Me: you left the ladder leaning against the house! Me: Who's been using my golf clubs? The boys: Why would you think we did: Me the dimpled golf ball sized dent in mom's fender and the golf ball in the yard! Double example of where the intuition part kicks in....being at work and feeling the need to go home in the middle of the day...but instead of parking my car in the drive, I pull it around behind the barn. Thirty minutes later a car pulls up and six kids pile out skipping school. They were none too happy see me open the door to great them and send their asses back to school. Thank goodness they didn't pick crime as their occupation!

Street smarts...a learning curve on this one but again mastered out of the necessity of keeping ahead of twins mentioned above.

Fire...I can light a match with the best of them.....I have a pyro streak...

Do you ever "make" yourself login here? A long day, and there really isn't much time to stay. The impulse is to just move along, yet something makes you stop by for just a few minutes....

That's how I typically end up here.
I'm normally bored for a few minutes and log in to see what's been happening. Most of the time I just see the activity and move along with my day.

No, I usually want to. Indeed, sometimes I do even when I probably shouldn't.

Except...sometimes...I stay away, when I probably shouldn't...

I'm a contradiction, wrapped in an enigma...

Is that kinky???

How tight do you want that enigma, lakesailor? With a Gordian knot?

I'm not around these parts as much these days. The impetus seems to be strongest when I've collected a few images for the Pearls and other Jewellery and Women, Men and Whisky threads. I can stop by for just a few minutes other times, always to see this thread to see if Chained has the reins or if there's mischief in his absence.

Then there's lurking...stalking... yeah the "just for a few minutes" thing can get outta hand!

Not in the same way that I "make" myself go to the gym, when what I really wanna do in those yoga pants is eat Tim-Tams and watch Bravo, no.

Do I ever make time to login because I owe a few peeps some PMs? Sure.

But when I'm outta whack and not feelin very social? You couldn't pay me to login.

Same goes for FB. Fucking Facebook. Bane of my online existence.
