How Aussie Got Her Groove Back

[sally]

I use a water pick. Yeah, yeah, it's supposedly not as good as flossing, but I beg to differ. It works just fine.

[Clang McFly]

You are free to be you right now, make the decision now. Don't let another minute of another day pass without living your life authentically. You're a grown ass man. Grow a pair.

Its not that easy. I don't want to throw Dad in a nursing home and a lot of assisted living places have long waiting lists. Plus I don't think Dad wants to go to either and I can't force him. My brother on the other hand, I've told him numerous times that once Dad dies, he's on his own if he don't have a job and/or his life together by then.

They say floss picks aren't as good as regular string floss too, because the string flossing generates more friction.  But I've been use OralB Glide floss picks coated with Scope mouthwash for a long time and just go back and forth to create the same friction. So, screw 'them'; I shall stick with the pick!

I heard women have a whole other use for water pik that has absolutely nothing to do with dental hygiene. And frankly I am chagrined.
And shocked.
Shocked and chagrined.

Also, can I watch?

[Maggot]

I never thought about people using them to clean out between their toes until now.

[HairOfTheDog]

I think Donovan wants to watch you blast the fungus from between your toes with your water pik sal.  Kind of a kinky request, but he doesn't ask for much.

Edit:  Ha, posting at the same time as Mags.  I hope Clang doesn't saunter in and make a detailed post about toe jam.

Who cares about Toejam? He was an idiot, unlike Earl.

[Maggot]

I personally think toe jam is a bane to society and should be liquidated.

I have my mum here. Don't throw your dad into a nursing home. If you had my life right now you would freak out. 

We all have Mt Everests we have to climb Clang. I feel so robbed and cheated at times, other times I just want to stay in bed and not get out. hell, I haven't been in Mock for ages because it had taken over my life. We all have battles, I took baby steps. I am asking you to do the same.

I still have to take baby steps, I have had to motivate myself to get online and participate and get in the game. I am asking you to do the same. 

I am not telling you to do everything today, just little by little. I am not perfect by any stretch of the imagination. But for God's sake, I'm trying.

[sally]

Why in the hell would I clean my toes with a water pik? Seems like washing them off in the shower would be much easier.

I'm trying too. I may not be moving as fast as you want me to, but I'm progressing. I used to be obsessed with online forums, facebook, youtube and watching the latest TV or movie. Now I have real life friends I hang out with on the weekends and occasionally during the week, I have actual online friends too. I know you see my making fart, poop, lube and underpants jokes as a step backwards in my life journey but I view it as progression in breaking out of my shell in much the same way I broke out of my shell when I first joined Mock and talked about my crossdressing.

Well that's great Clang, I don't need you to go at Superman speed. Yes and I have never judged you about your cross dressing I have always supported that.

[Maggot]

Yeah well I think he's weird but he can do what he wants, you can tell I'm a right wing fanatic because I don't try to push my beliefs on other people like a lefty yet I can still say it's weird.

[Clang McFly]

Well that's great. Super. Now if you could stop judging my other stuff and trying to change me into someone I'm not, I'd greatly appreciate it. Because if I'm not allowed to be myself at Mock, I might as well leave.

[sally]

Aussie's priorities are in the wrong place, Clang and Dogarosa are her biggest concerns. She means well, however, and you can't take that away from her. Well unless you gag and hog tie her.

[BigMark]

That costs extra in Key West.

I had no idea you were a right wing fanatic. I am politically slightly left of Centre. Progressives shit me to bits and have all but monopolised the Left.

That said, Cross-dressing is definitely weird. Many things are weird or abnormal or enjoyed by the very very few.

Whatever blows your (Clang's) hair back I guess. So long as it hurts no one and there is no expectation for everyone to support, pander, or cheer lead for it, I am all good. I say that with most things. You can live your life and do as you want and long as it hurts no one then no issue.

Clang, who really gives a fuck? You shouldn't.
People will think what they think and you have very little control over that.About the only thing you can control in the world is you. You know you best and you have the benefit of knowing you more intimately than anyone else. Don't give a fuck what others think because they come into the equation with less idea about who you are than you do.
So toughen up Buttercup, hitch that skirt up and tell arseholes like myself hoisting my opinions on you, to go fuck themselves.

I'm not judging you Clang, I've never judged you. Yes, you gross me out sometimes, but like a brother. I am the least judgmental person you will ever meet in your life. Its horrible when someone has misinterpreted or a miscommunication has come across as something it's not. It doesn't help with someone saying cross dressing is weird.....to them, it's normal to others, it's not my place to ever judge anyone. I'll leave.

[HairOfTheDog]

Jesus Christ. Clang doesn't need to leave and neither do you aussie.

I don't think Clang needs/wants life lessons any more than you need/want lessons on how to think.

You've acknowledged that you feel bad about coming across like you're riding Clang's ass all the time and giving him unwanted/unneeded advice. So why not just stop doing that and move forward with getting your groove on in here?

You have absolutely judged him. How can you not see that?
Him telling you to back off judging him is because you have been doing that. When you talk about having to reprogram him, THAT is judging. I mean that is the definition of judging him.
You may have some internal justifications that believe your judging him or trying to "fix him" is for his good.....but it isn't. It is just trying to give yourself a pass for behaviour you believe is fundamentally wrong.
Hey I judge him too but I think I have been pretty transparent. I also am happy to agree to disagree. You aren't.
This throwing it out there and then running away from it seems pretty weak.
Look back through my thread on critical thinking. See where you are falling down.
