Nice metaphor -- the timeout corner. Since I get to watch this technique employed (on 3-1/2- year-old Maya) pretty much every day, I know that in her case it actually works. A little time (usually less than two minutes) deprived of the company of others, and whatever mood or emotion or bad behavior put her there has been allowed to dissolve away. When she emerges from the timeout corner, it's like the moods and emotions never happened; they're gone. What will it be like when Judy returns from this particular timeout? Will a full week deprived of the company of others have allowed her to "let go" of the afflictive emotions the put her in the corner, or will she have held on to them, so strongly that she does what she often does after such a timeout and "hits the ground running," going back and responding angrily to things that were said while she was away? In other words, *still* wearing the same afflic- tive emotion set, and trying to reactivate it? I guess we'll see, won't we? The one thing you have to admire is the clear "demonstration of the mechanics of karma" of it all. She taunts Vaj for having gone over the posting limit, as if that was some kind of "win" for her, and then only a few minutes later does exactly the same thing herself. One wonders who she thinks "won" in that case.
