What do you stand for?

Answering the door;

Chores on a ladder;

Hanging artwork;

Getting things out of cabinets;

By birth, my family's blood heritage stands for something, but I can't say I always connect to that...though theoretically, I really should.

I don't stand for cheese and pies, though both can be good, but I'll absolutely stand for good food!

Occasionally, because I have a huge repertoire of suppressed biting comments and petty annoyances, I will make a stand but often as not by that stage flames will be escaping from each word and my nails will becoming clawlike and mythical, teehee. In those moments, people just usually stare open-mouthed with eyes flashing in neon "FRUIT-LOOP"

I treasure my passive aggressive moments more because then I'm winning arguments on the inside, , and others just lump these confusing subtleties as just another facet under the one heading -eccentric/odd/loose cannon.

I hate that I stand for editing my posts constantly for grammar and wording
Seriously, how Virgo can one get ?

I stand for proper punctuation.

I stand up against trangressions in the use of the comma and apostrophe.

Luckily, my current cohort in writing matters is very happy about this pedantry. He gets me to check things through.

In such writing matters I stand up for other things I think are important, but not too stridently, it's a collaborative effort. It won't work without the ability to be flexible and prepared to listen to other people's opinions.

It's funny that I headed onto Astro2 and read the Mars/Mercury Square thread after adding a post on here, the two threads reflect each other, in an odd way. Certainly in my case as I have a 3rd house Mars Square Mercury.

Over the years I have learned that sometimes it is best to shut the f up.

A couple of times men have let me know that it is really not attractive to assert my intelligence in an overly argumentative manner. I married one of them ~ his Sun/Saturn is conjunct my Mars.

There are so many foolish motivations for standing up.
But standing up against corruption is something we can support.

So, where do you see corruption,
and how do you stand up to it?
Or, how would you, if you were to?
(Since you say, "if I was to make a stand,".)

And what would it take to get you to stand up?
And how would you go about doing it (if you were to do it)?
And how hard, and for how long, would you fight,
before you let corruption have the last word?

In my youth I was too inclined to be combative, with age I have toned it down. There are few people who want to know all about my strongly held opinions. My diary is fascinated, though.

p.s

The builder put a seat into my shower. I am that much of a lazy b@stard.

Plenty of space in there for you to stand and me to sit and watch you, AG.

Well yes, writesomething, thank you I guess I could appear intriguing but it would be an illusion; I'm just as irritating at close quarters as the next person - I even distance myself from myself if I can, lol. No really I'm just a neurotic hermit that has been around the competition circuit of fighting tooth and nail for too long - the true picture is I'm 'jaded' - but amazingly happy enough which is a bit of a conundrum, I think.

HSC, I had to make notes on your questions, though great questions btw. Wow, your mind is like a vice, with precision measurement tools, haha! you floored me

Yeah, I see corruption in any group and don't usually stand up for it until an incident that takes my reactions by surprise and then, though I start with a fairly calm comment - I'm pretty much starting to twitch by the end of the second sentence.
