I am about to leave my home to go to an NRC meeting in our little town. Our local Nuke wants to upgrade the plant and put out 20% more power. We don't even need more energy.
So we who attend the meeting will sit through an hour and one half of the NRC chat then near the end of the meeting the public will be allowed to ask questions. I feel like I am at the begging bowl asking please don't uprate our nuke....
please Mr. don't put our town in the shadow any more than we are.
I am already nervous about this plant only 5 miles away.
So wish me luck tonight.

Hi J*i
That was nice of you to ask about me.
I'm okay, actually I'm fine now, my brain was being naughty earlier today.Good luck tonight, do you not have any three-eyed fish you could serve at the meeting, à la Marge Simpson? There's a Simpsons for every occasion isn't there?
I know it's a David and Goliath situation you're in, I'll light a candle tonight.

thank you for your good cheer and light.
The NRC listened and so did our local folks but then an old gentleman stood up and scolded us.
I hate being scolded.
The energy that is involved in a scolding is very hard to take.
what is it about scolding?

> what is it about scolding?You know that's so true! So true, and yet I'd never given it a thought before. When I was in College, a friend of mine got in touch with me, she'd had some tragic news, (husband diagnosed with terminal cancer) and needed to know if I could meet with her. I called my instructor at school and explained that I would not be in class that day (ECE PUPPET MAKING For F*C* Sake) She told me that "That was NO reason to miss class and that I would be withdrawn if I didn't show up" It was a definite scolding. I felt so ashamed for the entire day.
phylike I'd been punched,humiliated, and yet now that I think about it, she is more likely the one with the problem.
You're absolutely right, scolding hits a specific "tuning fork" for me the sensation is like when I was a kid and being mocked by the other kids at school, though it's not the same thing, my emotional reaction is.

yah, kind of like being talked down to.
The person doing the scolding is acting like a parent or teacher or person in authority.
It's not a conversation between two adults....
One has an elevated sense of self importance.
I work with someone who is a scolder...
you know a finger wagger.
When she scolds me I feel angry and ashamed.
No matter what the issue was.Ja*
