We are an enlightened sect of people who have survived vast amounts of shiznit, chewed on it, processed it, digested it, and then shiznit it out....done dealio. But at times, shiznit continues to resurface and hit the fan, and this is a fun place to come for some rawkin' rock-solid wisdom that doesn't mince words, yet conveys a message of loving support. If you've got the testicular fortitude (aka: BALLS) to post your current shiznit as your OWN TOPIC (and not under somebody else's), AND you have the intestinal fortitude (aka: GUTS) to take what gets dished back at you, then be prepared to get hit with the Keosaku (stick of enlightenment) by others, and GET OVER IT!!!!!!!!
This is NOT a place for you if you are seeking psychotherapy or counseling....you can pay somebody for that!! Extensive pissing and moaning while wallowing in it, is not allowed.

Each Thread will deal with the individual that posted it, and THEIR issue. Stay on the subject please, or else create a new one of your own...be respectful of other people's space.

The suggested approach to use is "the Sandwich Technique"
in addressing those in need of clearing their shiznit. It consists of the following:
1) give a kudo
2) state your (constructive) criticism, unleashing the "stick" on their shiznit
3) leave with a warm fuzzy of encouragement

Our purpose here is to SHUSH DAT SHIZNIT!!!!

Our Tribe's Motto:
"Real compassion kicks butt and takes names, and it is not pleasant on certain days. If you are not ready for this fire, then find a new-age, sweetness-and-light, soft-speaking, perpetually smiling teacher, and learn to relabel your ego with spiritual sounding terms. But stay away from those that practice real compassion, because they will fry your ass, my friend." Ken Wilbur
