I vented once with my right foot into a Lazy Boy, Lazy Boy won, broke my foot. Should have smoke a joint. 😝

Do know that kill’n hogs reduces stress and improves skills.

Killed six from the front porch since Wednesday and I plan to stay out through Saturday.

*Only killed one this evening. There is always the next dawn for more targets.

How many billions of taxpayers dollars were used for this “study?”

Even the most violent places on earth, prisons, know giving inmates physical, musical, artistic, employment etc... outlets calms anger.

These “studies” have been in literature for thousands of years.

Some years back, I got hammered and angry, smacked a brick wall with my fist, broke my hand, had a nurse in civilian clothes in the bar reduce the shattered bone manually, splint it with a half a ballpoint pen and electric tape, and had to drive 20 hours straight to go home. Went to the ER the next morning, then had surgery to insert pins in my hand.

One of the most heinously stupid things I have done in my entire life. Just lost my temper.

Slept that night in a sleeping bag in a sub-zero temperature cabin with no heat in Indiana in February, but that drive home sucked. Every time I turned the wheel, my broken hand would hit the directional stalk each time, and I would have brilliant flashes of pain pass up my entire arm.

I would nearly whimper every time I did it, and gritting my teeth, vowed that I wouldn’t make that mistake again when turning the wheel, but...I did. Many times.

Well. I have had to learn a lot of things the hard way in life, and controlling my anger was one of them. I still struggle with it, but...it is one of the good things about old age, at least for me. It is far easier at nearly 70 to control my anger than it was at 20, but it has been a hard road to get here.

I learned a lot of lessons from that one unfortunate and stupid experience.

We live and learn, usually the hard way. 😓

To some people, many things come easily, and I envy that. For me, I just felt like I pulled teeth most of my life to get reasonable at things. School was always difficult, I didn’t feel like I learned easily. And I just did a lot of ill advised things, and didn’t cloak myself in glory.

Sometimes I feel I just lacked common sense. Again, getting older it has been better, but man. When I was younger, I think I made my road bumpier than it needed to be.

Most anger is really directed at oneself. Accepting that you are angry with yourself, begins the healing.

I have a family member who gets angry when she doesn’t understand things. It’s a sign of early onset Dementia. It usually involves a loss of analytical skills.
