Discussion»Questions»Human Behavior» You have a problem. You can ignore it, accept it, solve it or change your perception of it. What do you usually do? Why?
One night Mrs Didge and I went next door to our neighbour's place. He was a giant -- 6' 5" tall and 23 stone. Strongest man I ever met. And we spent the evening drinking tea. Heavily laced with rum. Worst hangover I've ever had. Powerful stuff, that tea.
It wouldn't work for me. Tea is not my cuppa tea. Never has been. At my age never will be. When I was a kid and feeling puny my mom would fix me what she called "Cambric Tea". It had lots of milk and some sugar in it. So I associate tea with being ill. Not a good association! Thank you for your reply Plingsby and Happy Thursday to thee! :)
I do all of those at times depending on the urgency. But often I like to change the perception and make it as not that big a deal. That does ease stress if their is any as I make the problem smaller or less important.
That works for me as well Swoop. Changing my perception of it Not everything is at the level of "the sky is falling the sky is falling". Sometimes appeared to be a big problem turns out to be a small nuisance/annoyance. Thank you for your reply and Happy Thursday! :)
I normally like to solve them, as I age I notice if it's not too important I ignore them, and I very soon forget what it was, and they seem to go away, aging has its benefits, many things I used to be concerned about are no longer as important, I would rather communicate with Rosie. Have a wonderful day
I only have two problems: 1. My physical ailments, which I can solve by drinking or smoking weed. 2. My wife, who nags me all the time and constantly wants to spend more money on new stuff when the old stuff still works. No solution for that other than to hide out in my office and come here.

We welcome you here with open arms my friend. I wish your physical ailments would disappear. I might say the same thing about your wife but I don't know her and that would be unfair/unkind. I'm glad you have an office and an Answermug to keep you sane. Thank you for your reply Ele and Happy Thursday! :)
My problems have all grown up, left home, and now have problems of their own. But when they were still my problems I had a simple, one line response that resolved everything. "Ask your mother."
