We all suspected that's what our men folk did when they went to work. Now we have proof, lol.

At the very least we can say he was being patriotic in perving on Miranda Kerr.

Wheels,

Dirty Dave gets to keep his job!

The gossip is that the lovely Miss Kerr heard about it & signed the petition in favour of him keeping his job.

Rumor has it that Dave was set up by someone. Poor guy.

The Brits are certainly happy to indulge in phone sex quite often.

They seem to be a repressed bunch, lol.

Now that's sad. Being repressed is a very sad state of affairs.

But then again, is being repressed a choice?

This is a deep question and almost worthy of its own thread

I don't think so, unless you consciously think about how you were raised, etc. Then make an effort to change their behaviour and replace the programming they were given, into something they actually WANT. Generally people don't do that though, they just plug the programming they were given into their computer,and voila. Easy path to take. Then someday 40 years or so down the road, they wonder why they ended up turning into mom or dad.

How bizarre, Abs. I attended a workshop where the Dr said that we actually do end up like Mum and Dad!!!

What happens is that as our child brain develops (in the prefontal cortex), it organises itself based on the organisation of the parent's pre-frontal cortex.

Now, that's scary!!!!

Well it's not easy to change your patterning, however, I can speak from experience, having done it myself, I broke the chain of abuse of children in my family, it CAN BE DONE

It's just a lot of fecking hard work, and MINDFULNESS. Every moment, cause in the instant you don't be present, that pattern is waiting to click into auto pilot.

Starky,

Children area a sure fire way to bring mother's words out of your mouth.

They test you & force you to grow. If at your very heart you want to be better then you will be. One day at a time through every imperfect action or thought.

Not unless you rewire your brain. Check out some Neuro Linguistic Programming. Core Transformations is an AWESOME, Beautiful Book. That's one that I read. Also Frogs into Princes is another.

I just hope my kids don't get too much of me. I have a lot of flaws and cracks that even the toughest super glue can't mend.
But the fact that we are indeed our parents explains a lot where I'm concerned.
I think there's so much involved in genetic's that we can't just explain away.

My ex is EXTREMELY picky when it comes to food. I won't go into it, but trust me with that. When our son was born and started on the baby food jars, I remember buying all different flavors to see what he liked and didn't like. Amazing, but he was then and still is just as picky as his dad with a lot of the same likes/dislikes as his dad. And for the most part his dad doesn't encourage this, it's just the way he is.

Genetic's is fascinating...

OMG. You adopted me. Are you aware of all the complications? I am what they call "damaged goods". I am very needy of love and attention. I am an unknown and undiscovered genius. I am a loner who needs lots of space. Preferably in the basement. THINK AGAIN, MY LOVE!!!

just wanted to chime in that having children is ALSO the best route to understanding your parents and WHY they treated you the way they did. a great healing opportunity if you can see it that way. sometimes there is no way you can EXCUSE behaviour, especially abuse, but you CAN see thru your own fk-ups how intention does not always translate into actions that actually create the effect you wanted. none of us is perfect either ... where your parents went wrong you can correct the pattern as much as possible, but until you get past blaming them you will tend to create the same results even if your behaviour is very different. hope that makes sense... having a child was the indirect route to healing my youngself's parental wounds. with my father, as he was already dead, it was completely internal. with my mother, it was a unilateral decision which completely altered our relationship in her last years...
