Chris ... sincere apologies, the above was NOT intended to be directed at yourself - plainly you did not have a post removed and it was MY ERROR in clicking YOUR 'QUOTE' to reply!

RE: SINGLEDOM...do you think it becomes CHRONIC ... after

Your 'other remark' was hidden by the Original Poster so can't be replied to directly!

But hey look ... I'd hate for you to be wasting a tiny moment worrying about me ... you just put whatever it takes into being happy yourself ... and if being snarky and negative is 'what's working for you' just now, well, it's not how I'd do it myself, but if it's working for you, then feel free to have a pop at me any ole time ... and I'll throw your bone back! !

I'd suggest though that it's not a terribly good 'long term strategy'

While I have very clearly disagreed with and questioned the motives of Yac The Griper in the post above I'll also thank her, because, while writing and thinking it occurs to me that there could be a possible metaphor.

In terms of sanity vs insanity one could look at the shape of an enormous letter ' V '

At the bottom of the vee there's room for little or nothing (insanity, little or nothing can be tolerated) ... while the top of the vee represents the possibility for the potentially unlimited (or even perhaps infinite) expansion of that which we can tolerate ( handle / cope with )


As recent as this last century we (as a species) handled / coped with / tolerated incredible advances ...

The 'market and need for' Bell's telephone was questioned ...

IBM stayed away from personal computers they reckoned the market would run only into hundreds ...

We have created nano technologies in medicine ... tiny machines that enter the bloodstream etc

And some of us can even handle another person having a different PoV ... or not


But let's leave this on a light(ish) note

“The statistics on sanity are that one out of every four people is suffering from a mental illness. If you look at your 3 best friends and think that they’re ok then it’s you.”


The law of Indirect Action...
“Psychiatrists always urge patients to take their medications. When the patient doesn’t take the meds then the psychiatrists become agitated and label the patients as 'treatment resistant' so, then patients have to take the pills in order to calm down their psychiatrists.”



Q. What’s the difference between the psychiatrists and the patients at the mental hospital?
A. The patients are the ones that eventually get better and go home!



“My therapist always told me that I over-analyse everything. After several sessions I was able to explain to him that he only thinks that because of his unhappy relationship with his mother.”



“A question that always makes me hazy ... Is it me or are the others crazy? ”
Albert Einstein



And, was it a Freudian slip or was Carl Jung alerting us to the threat that he and hsi colleagues posed to mankind when he said

“Show me a sane man and I will cure him for you.”

NOW you CLAIM intolerance of things, but ONLY after an horrific disaster which some might consider you are cruelly exploiting ?

Where was this Self Righteous Intolerance PRIOR TO that or other events ... there have been many, though nothing 'so close to home' ?

Do you actually have awareness of materials, architectural practices, risks involved in using specific materials, designs or correct / incorrect installation of those?

Did your newly self proclaimed intolerance cause you to protest IN ADVANCE about their use in this/other locations?

Or, are you just more concerned with trying to demonstrate superiority, your rightness over all others in all other situations that you have to attempt to stretch and distort meaning and context of anything and everything in any and every word that's used or could be used ?

Isn't an emergency service worker eg a fireman driven by compassion and love of their fellow human beings? They train hard & long in order to GAIN SPECIFIC KNOWLEDGE that equips them to use particular tools (such as Fireproof Suits & Breathing App) to enter locations that 'lesser mortals' would be foolish to consider.

If you want to bring it down to hard semantic (exact meanings of words) then YES ABSOLUTELY the wearing of a FS and BA does indeed allow the individual to 'tolerate' (exist in) the hostile environment of a fire.

Fire officers are TOLERANT that fire exists, fires are caused & occur & in order to maintain their own sanity, they have to be 'tolerant' of the knowledge that lives WILL be lost even despite best efforts of themselves and colleagues: those who cannot tolerate (handle) that usually have to pension out of active duty on stress (MH) grounds and no one should think less of them for having 'reached a limit'

Medical professionals are 'more tolerant' of blood and entrails than 'The Average Joe' and it's that same 'willingness and ability to tolerate' that makes them effective ... remaining conscious whereas some 'Lesser Mortals' faint into unconsciousness at mere thought of a needle to draw blood.

Forensic teams who have been called in to deal with the aftermath of the event, and especially those in forensic dentistry (which is usually 'last resort' for identifying deceased persons from remains) will 'tolerate' that they are seeing and dealing with things that no human being ought to have to see ... and, no doubt, some of those people will no longer 'choose' to tolerate longer and will move to other areas of their professions afterwards . And some (I know one well who was involved in Christchurch EQ aftermath) will be so moved with compassion by knowing that his work allowed the living 'closure' the 'peace of knowing' they had buried their own that he has gone beyond anything I can imagine and is now part of an international organisation and has travelled globally when called upon...
A person who is 'intolerant' of fire, of the destruction of property & 'intolerant of risk to their life' does not ever expose themselves to such things. Such persons are said to be experiencing agrophobia (they remain indoors as they cannot tolerate ANYTHING beyond their own familiar immediate environment) and the most unfortunate become autophobic (unable even to tolerate / accept themselves ie their own body and their own internal environment)

Tolerance is NOT the same as APATHY, it's not the same as having a casual disregard for life in order to boost profits.

Nor is it ignorance - rather the opposite, tolerance indicates conscious awareness of and willingness to accept 'that thing' be it as bold as entering an inferno or as small as riding a bicycle or allowing the opinions of others.
BTW yes IMHO though we often disagree LJ is entitled to full expression of her thoughts and opinions without being judged or labelled by you (or others)

Have a nice day now

RE: SINGLEDOM...do you think it becomes CHRONIC ... after

Dictionary gives meaning of chronic ( related to illness) as persisting for a long time or constantly recurring.
"chronic bronchitis"

synonyms: persistent, long-standing, long-term, constantly recurring; More


There's also the BRITISH informal use meaning ' of a very poor quality.'
"the film was absolutely chronic"


The opposite to Chronic is Acute

From this we can deduce logically that many bloke are chronically single as. no matter how hard they try, they simply cannot find acute woman !
