the title says it all....what makes you stop and think or can you block it out, and carry on regardless
It is not a matter so much of “what” rather of “whom” it is that will give me to stop and think with the whom being first, my sons and secondly their friends and then simply the young children in the neighborhood who have had a way of happening to be at my home on a regular basis over the years. I think I relate in conversation with younger ones as for the last 20-some odd years I’ve been a mom and been literally surrounded by my two sons and their friends and so much so that at times I think I have forgotten what adult conversation is…. Once I knew… anyhow, so much the better I relate to the kids as it were than with those middle aged. I think in part why I like to listen in on the conversations between you and SugarBaby and Wildebrew and a few others (well, during some of the less heated moments *smile*) Our home has been the home where the kids hang out. The kids are now getting beyond being kids/teens and more so young adults. With this now a time of baseball season and my husband a coach there can easily be close to a dozen young men at my home daily…. Yea, I try to set an example of not partaking of various substance habits and the fellows know I am not pleased as their sodas have turned to the beers, the candy bars to the joints and then too the condoms that on occasion that are found. Do I holler and scream, No, well as of yet haven’t…… rather I find a peace when I notice 2 o3 of the fellows have spent the night on the extra sofa’s in my home rather than driving when they’ve had too much to drink. One is already facing jail time due to too many tickets while driving under the influence and yet he always says, I know you don’t mind me here or eating of the pizzas and all. No, I am glad the fellows surround my home and life and they are the ones who truly make me stop and think. I guess it is I don’t want any of these ones to be able to say they saw me passed out drunk, etc Connie
block it out, always. I am known for my stoasism, not for my spelling but yeah. I can here anything, and keep going without more than a momentarily dip in spirots
I know this sounds really cheesy but what pricks my conscience is my own sense of justice. Let me illaborate. I know that cheating on a test is wrong and though I've done it, I have felt horrible and not proud of myself during and afterwords. Lying is another thing that I simply feel awful doing. I am so filled with self hatred that I simply try to avoid doing things that in my oppinion seem "wrong."

Fabulous that is not stoical, that's just apathetic...does nothing bother you at all..
Sexy..hmm I'm the same if I was to cheat, it would feel as though I was unfit to play, or sit the exam, in the 1st place..I'd feel like a complete fraud...
