People who ask for advice but never take it.

That's pretty much my job and why I am thinking of not working in the field after we move and if I do, going back into management. Your empathy runs dry after awhile.
...there's only so many ways you can say the same thing differently.
As for my personal life, I'm pretty good with being understanding. I am a really patient friend and wife. Trust me, you have no idea the things my husband comes home and tells me as fact that he heard from some dumbass or the innapropriat ethings my mom says to her counseling clients. I am ready to blow.
I guess I am not that patient.

 

PS-You won't have to pawn your DVD's every month if you stop gambeling. Also, if you don't have junk food in the house your kids won't be fat and unhappy.
PSS-please don't do srugs around your kids.
HUGS,
Lynsey

i learned not to ask for advice finally, because i never agree with what anyone says anyway. sometimes it's an issue.

 

I typically only ask for advice from people I respect and whose opinion I really value. In the last few years the times I've actually asked for advice have dwindled down to VERY few, because I'm a big believer in looking within for my answers. My husband, bless his heart, is so good at not giving me advice and making me look within. That's been a real blessing for me. Most of the time I already know the answers anyway. And usually the only times I ask for advice anymore is when I've fallen into that pitiful, neurotic, unbalanced and overly-emotional state where I can't see clearly. Of course the answer to that is just to chill the fuck out and then look within. LOL!

I gotta say though, I don't outright dismiss what anyone says, cause I mine everything for truth. Some people have such a knack for it... you being one of them mamaK. :cheers2:

 

my neighbor seems to think so. i think i just move so slowly that it looks like i know what i'm doing. that, and i'm pretty damned content. but i gotta admit, i get weirded out when people ask my advice so often AND ACTUALLY LISTEN TO IT!! it's like "what, do i have 'wisdom' written on me somewhere i don't know it? THAT'S FALSE ADVERTISING!"

 

you actually do have a real knack for wisdom. it's pretty cool to see, really, cause it's SO rare for me to meet people like that. My husband is another one.. a natural. He has more wisdom in his little pinkie than 99% of those who consider themselves "spiritually aware" and all that shit.

maybe it's partly going through the school of hard knocks, and partly just being naturally sensitive and intune.. who knows. but when you got it you got it. plus.. and this kinda cracks me up because both of you are the same here... is that you're very efficient with it. not like me, who tends to be a wordy bitch. lol! you just come straight to the point, say what you gotta say, and move on. even the presentation is wise, cause you really don't give much room to indulge in the drama of it. haha!

I definitely value that.

 

I think there are the wordy type and the type who chose words very carefuly who give off the same amount of warmth. But both are types that you are lucky to have involved with your family life on a daily basis.
For example, my son's grandmother on his mothers side is in her 50's, has taken tons of psychedelics throughout her life (mostly Mescaline), traveled all over the place, and still partys every summer at festivals, and she is the wordy type. And by wordy, I mean methamphetamine wordy, all the time lol she just never stops talking. But she has an understanding and a feeling around her that is entirely unique but seems to appeal to most. She is my beer drinking God mom lol who always is a pleasure to visit with.
And then I have a friend who is right at 30 years old, a guy I've known for about 6 years, who ALWAYS says the most profound things out of nowhere and about the simplest things, but he talks slowly and his sentences are very short. Even when you get deep into it with him, you can find yourself saying 10 things for every 1 thing he adds to the conversation. He is the one who gave me the deeksha and he actually almost died from 'unknown' causes last year; in actuality he was passing the light on to too many people and wasnt fully cleansed himself, and his health deteriorated rapidly.
And the funny thing is, the women I mentioned in the first example is the only one who advised him NOT to give out deeksha so often because she knew his body was not ready to handle so much negativity, and some of the people he's given it to (myself included) had tons of baggage.
Now I dont know that he ever asked for advice, but considering her state, I dont doubt it

 

awww. i've been surrounded by VERY dramatic people my whole life. a loada prima donnas. me and dave kinda act the same way, which is awesome. neither of us like drama and pussyfooting around a point. say what you mean, do it quickly, let it go. instead of that silliness that goes on for days and days and just irritates everyone and never gets resolved.

 

I gotta admit...I'm guilty of asking for advice and not taking it. I always take peoples advice into *consideration* but if I need to make a decision, I tend to really think things through before going through with anything
