Hi Carol!!
-> -> 
-> ->  CS> {blush} didnt post more as i got kinda tied up
-> -> 
-> -> JW> You SHOULD blush! That's kinky! [G]
-> -> 
-> -> Oh my!  Now how to resurrect my honor?  
-> -> 
-> -> Naw, cant.  I enjoyed my night 'kid-free' muchly Sir.  More the lad
-> -> not.
-> -> 
-> hn> Oh so wise ! (G)
-> 
-> Snicker.
-> 
It's fun to be a grown up sometimes isn't it ?(grin)

-> -> I've done having to do with being suspended pretty much upside down 
-> hn> 100ft in 
-> -> the air and cussing out my then CO with my glasses duct-taped to my 
-> hn> face.  The 
-> -> only thing lady-like about that one was I wasnt in a skirt.  I would 
never

-> hn> where to use them!
-> 
-> Very true!  Cant say as i've ever made a Bos'un blush but I did learn to 
-> control my lingo in OZ bars.  Seems some of my favorite expletives can 
bring 
-> them to an eye-popping 'halt' although I didnt think what i said was so 
bad!  
-> Just a cultural difference <g>.  Umm, without getting specific it's 
apparently 
-> frowned on there to discuss Jesus's ancestry...  (oops).
-> 
Yup, those Ozzies are a strange lot indeed! I had a Quantas stewardess 
girlfriend for a bit when I lived in Hawaii....she'd call whenever her flights 
came into Honolulu. It took SOME getting used to when she'd say I'll be at 
hotel XXXX could you please Knock me up around 6 am?? When she'd say it in 
front of my friends...imagine the looks I got then!!LOL

-> I don't cuss very often so my occasional forays tend to make more telling 
-> reactions in those who know me at all.  I'm also {blush} fairly creative but

-> only when spontaneously espostulating displeasure.
-> 
-> I also almost never yell at people, having other methods, but if you get me 
-> really mad, I have been known to be heard 2 decks away through steel 
bulkheads.
-> 
We had a chief who was the quietest most gentle man you'd ever expect to 
see in Khaki....until you got him mad...he could raise a blister on armor plate

steel at 20 feet! AND you knew if you got him to that point you were toast, 
and he was going to have you for breakfast!  

-> Had one recently when a BM2 'ticked me off' at just the wrong time and i 
let 
-> loose on him right there at the quarterdeck.  Should'a seen everyone jump 
2 
-> feet up and 3 back to get away just at the expression on my face before i 
even 
-> let loose as i rounded on him.  BMCS (Senior Chief Bos'un) came up from 
the 
-> well deck 200 feet away and 1 deck down to see what happened only to 
find it 
-> was one of his guys, then he took over.  See, he knows *me* and 
anything to set
-> 
-> me off like that, had him shocked silly.  I'm widely known as rather mild 
and 
-> temperant <g>.
-> 
Best way to be known...makes the outbursts more meaningful!

-> One of the things I did recently (and possibly for the last time since I'll
be 
-> either transferring or retiring before the next session will be held) was 
teach
-> 
-> 'Chief Petty Officer Indoc'.  One of the points covered is how to deal with 
-> discipline issues and they try to teach 'effective use' of anger.  My point 
at 
-> that stage is to bring out that some of us have *no poker face* and to 
learn if
-> 
-> you are like that, how to effectively deal with it while gettng the point of

-> displeasure across.  I do this well, without screaming and yelling.  I talk 
-> about 30 mins to the folks who arent 'screamers or yellers' on how to do 
that 
-> and so far, get lots of feedback over the next year, on how it helped the 
new 
-> Chiefs deal with that if they are like me.
-> 
->                                        xxcarol

Right tool for the right job, works just about every time!
The navy needs more chiefs who think like that!
chat with you soon
