anger issues

I'll try not to bum people out here, but give them a more positive attitude.

Try coming to work for the evening shift at the hospital, and your kids are in the hospital day care for a couple hours until Mom picks them up. You get a call that the Police are bringing in a distraught angry combative 20 year old beautiful blonde to the ER. We tie her down in the ER, The Doc is trying to put a tube down her nose, as she is an overdose. She fights, kicks, swears, and pulls out the tube while the Charcoal is being pumped in to her stomach. I am holding her down, but she gets the tube, pulls it out, and she aspirates, as the charcoal fills her lungs. She is dead in two minutes. Then, I have to go back to my other duties, then eventually go home, and not think of it. Could I have held her better? Where was the other tech? Where was the cop? I had to Go home, and think not of it. Thirty years later, I still see her face.

I get angry that I had to do that, that the Cops had to do that, and the Mortuary had to come and get her.
I recommend we try to see the positive things in our lives. It will end someday.

I have a real hard time feeling sorry for people with self-inflicted problems, like using drugs, when there are plenty of people with problems that they had no control over getting. It's too bad she died, but it was her own stupidity that caused it. You tried to help her, she refused your help, and paid the price, not your fault.
 
Thought I'd chime in. Yes, I admit I can be quick to temper but I think modern life certainly doesn't make things easy for people. Also, I really think it boils down to the individual and how one's brain works (note that I am Irish, born and raised there, but some of the calmest people I have met in my life are back home. How genetic make-up affects a person's character I do not know). Personally, not proud of the anger thing when it kicks in, but am getting better with age ha ha...

People can mispronounce my surname at times as Fury (Feighery, pronounced "Feery"), and your post reminded me of mates taking the piss out of my POS '73 Fury, calling it the "Plymouth Feighery". Just a quirky thing I thought I'd add lol...


Well according to my wife I have anger issues. Alot of things piss me off. Things like the state of our country, the politicians that help get us here, inconciderate drivers,watching people waddling around with their pants at their knees,my dog that refuses to poop while on a leash but runs when hes off,my mom that doesnt change her oil for a year and doesnt understand why her jeep is knocking, people with a complete lack of common sense, parents that send their 15 yr old daughter's to school in yoga pants and cell phones, people that complain about their lives and do absolutely nothing to change them. And the list goes on and on.
Now to my point. Im Irish and Im sure that most of us have heard of the stigma attached to the Irish and their anger , so I had the thought of painting (tastefully of course ) a small Irish flag(2"x3") near the fury nameplates on my car with small lettering that reads " Irish" , as to say "Irish Fury". What say you fellow car enthusiasts? Down right dumb or could get a chuckle at a carshow?

I tend to follow this train of thought. Friend of mine when I was in the Navy decided to tie one on that turned into a four day binge then we went back out to sea he was sooo sick from drinking, I laughed every time I saw him, he did it to himself. I could see how that weigh on you.
 
That's true. That place is an animal of its own kind... it's like no other. I've never been to any other retail store but there where you ask an employee if they have an item and it doesn't matter who you ask your given a scripted response. Well if it isn't on the shelf we don't have it... never mind that the stockers might have been lazy, or ran out of time, or even they sold what was on the shelf. Yep walmart is a special place...

The country would be a far less angry place if there had never been a Walmart.
 
I am glad I'm not the only one that refuses to walk into that excuse for a store! Many small town businesses in Rural America would still be around if not for the predatory practices of Walmart. Ole Sam is rolling in his grave, I believe.

Actually, what I meant was not what it is but how it ruined America forever in so many ways. Both obvious and and subtle.
How do you think the door was opened to socialism.
Pay min. wage and zero benefits.
Then the government steps in to provide for everone because Walmart broke the back of a decent living in the middle class.
Kids aren't angry. They get everything they want out of my pocket and they actually accept lower class as middle class. WTF..
Just wait until the remaining middle class dies off.
Revolution if not outright war.

Really? Most younger people are too busy with electronic devices to realize what the hell is going on around them. At my work when I take my break, almost everyone (me included cause I can't get enough FCBO) has their head down looking at their phones.

If I could join a mopar commune with a bunch of bullet hoarding gun rights advocates, I might. But that won't happen because I'm too busy trying to not get run over by the system and keep my bank account in the black. I didn't know there was still a middle class. I thought we had some better off poor people and the elitist rich. They (our feerless corporate and political leaders) give us sports and alcohol and that's all we need, right?
 
Sports,beer,ebola, ipads,iphones.....what ever they need to do so no one is watching the ball? Wait....what ball. Basketball,football,hockeyball. Ooohh this one time at band camp......... I love the my country. Not my gov. Its not my gov anymore. It belongs to the waltons, the kochs and anyone with enough cash to sponsor a politician! Politically correctness has replaced common sense. Unfortunately for me i prefer the latter!!!

As always we are nothing more than products of our environment. My mom used to get so mad at me she would jump up and down while yelling at me. My dad ,you got one maybe 2 warnings before really getting your feelings hurt. Looking back i dont think i had abusive parents, but then if you ask a liberal all i needed was a good talking to! I call BS! I was an a**whole kid. I think a few more a** whoopings might have open my eyes sooner. My mother loved to "explain " things. It didnt help me much. I didnt mess with my dad tho. I dont believe in beating your kids, but an occasional tune up can be a good thing.

Forward is not the word I would use! Many became parents after wood stock. Just wait until the Millennials are in charge.
