| Aw, I didn't mean to make you feel bad. I was actually making fun of myself. I ended up marrying a man who loves science, and I'm fascinated that he has this interest for something that totally eludes me. I just wish I could keep up.  He teaches me something, I think, "Okay remember this, Lori..." and I forget it 20 minutes later. Your ex-wife was incorrect. We like you plenty.  | |||

Expert Yogi Posts: 8442      | Steven - I too, was only wishing I could keep up  Maybe in person with time to stop and digest each bit, I could do it. My first husband used to try to play the "logic" card on me and tangle up all my emotional responses in an arguement with "Here's the logic of this..." until one day I called him Mr. Spock. That helped a lot. Oh yeah, he's my current husband | ||

Tsaklis - 2006-02-01 11:23 PM Ok, enough with the making nice! Right after I stop doing tree and down dog, and all the other yoga stuff.  I'm also in good mood, it was a beautiful day out, and everythings right with the world. I'll flip back to evil wizard hell-bent on dragging everybody else down with me in a day or two.  I had a boss once who told me that I was great at my job, "but when it comes to dealing with people you give the impression that you should be fed through a slot in the door". You'll have to teach me how to do that one, I've got too many people coming into my office asking silly questions because they can't be bothered to figure things out for themselves. I shared the story about my ex because I thought it was funny. I mean come on, that was a great one-liner. It's still a running joke with a few of my friends and family. Every time I start going on about something one of them will put his or her hand up and say "See, that's why people don't like you". So really, no harm no foul here at all. Yeah, but I think that as a society we've been partially programmed to make innane comments whenever anyone says something halfway intelligent. Not sure why, there just seems to be a serious anti-intellectual element to a lot of Hollywood's stuff. OTOH, have you seen the tripe they attempt to pass off as plot lines? Maybe they do have something to fear from intellectuals types. | |||

| This reminds me a bit of my brother-in-law. Tom (my husband) is the younger of the two and the only one in his family who went on to continue his education. He also teaches and gives formal lectures, so even in normal speech, he tends to "present" instead of "talk." In other words, if you ask a question, you'd better really want the answer. He's not arrogant and certainly doesn't think he's better than everyone else, but his brother is plagued with a huge inferiority complex, and Tom's personality just feeds this. I can listen to Tom and be fine. His brother listens and hears only, "I'm smarter than you, I'm smarter than you..." So his brother finds little ways to knock Tom down a peg or two. Tom tolerates most of it, but every once in a while he bites back. It's been a problem for a long time. Anyway, his brother has used something similar to the "that's why people don't like you" comment, which of course isn't true. That's why his brother doesn't like him some days perhaps. | |||

Expert Yogi Posts: 8442 | Steven - so now you know you have set yourself up for that running gag here, don't you? Be prepared! Lori - my SIL does taht except she is an elementary school teacher (well, principal now...) although she has done it for as long as I have known her, come to think of it. Bad enough being "presented" to at a university or professional level but having the voice go up and the words slow down to Grade 1 (special ed, to boot!) is really, really irritating. Good thing we all love her so much! | ||

tourist Steven - so now you know you have set yourself up for that running gag here, don't you? Be prepared! That's what I thought!!  Regarding the spontaneous oral presentation: My husband knows I adore him, so he lets me tease him about this stuff. One night the whole family was sitting around after dinner, and someone brought up something about black holes, and Tom answered with a quick, "As a matter of fact, they do."... and that was it. There was this heavy pause, and I said, "Uh oh, I feel an explanation coming on." The whole room exploded into laughter. Then Tom said, "Okay smarta$$, now you're gonna GET the whole explanation!" | |||
