Excellent Share, excellent! It only took you 2.85 days to "unpack" what you
meant by "GET A FRIGGING LIFE." That wasn't so hard, was it?
Here is the rest of Lesson 2. Set up a file box (maybe an Iowa-themed recipe
box will do) with 26 cards, one for each letter of the alphabet. When you
identify a feeling you are having, write it down under the corresponding
letter. Now, we're after only the more negative feelings with you; you've got
"positivity" down. So, as I recollect, you were feeling "cranky" with Robin (a
C word) and were feeling "exasperated" by Bob and Emily. I'll bet Judy and Ann
elicit feelings too. Try to keep it to 3 feelings/emotions per letter of the
alphabet. This will give you a "range" of 78 feelings in your "feeling bank."
Let me know when Lesson 2 is complete and we will move on to Lesson 3 - also a
fun one - "How to tell a Feeling from a Fact." This is where we start to take
on the phenomenon of why you like to engage in name-calling. I'll work on my
list too so you don't have to go it alone.
Don't let Richard get you down now; maybe you could send him a recipe box?

Emily, for me frigging connotes exasperation due to the extremity of some
situation. For example, if I said I haven't a frigging clue, it would mean that
I don't even have a hint of a clue and felt exasperated by that. Get a frigging
life means I was exasperated at how you and Bob were making a mountain out of a
molehill with regards to my reaction to last year's photo of Ann's tree!

Well, Share, that's what I gave you, the Urban Dictionary definition.
Consider this a Christmas present from me. I'm also willing to go a step
further. Here is Lesson 1 from the Feelings Manual 101. "Acknowledge that you
are having an emotion." Just that Share, no need to identify it yet. That is
Lesson 2 and it is a fun one - 26 easy steps corresponding with the letters of
the alphabet. Whadya say...are you curious? Shall we do this together?
P.S. For the record, Share, what "sense" of the word "friggin'" do you have?
And, yes, I have been hitting the egg nog - one made with coconut milk; pretty
darn tasty.

Emily, have you been hitting the egg nog?! I said I didn't know the dictionary
definition of frigging. period. I never asked for your help to unpack it. I'm
quite happy with my sense of it, thank you very much!

"HAVE A MARVELOUS FRIGGING EVENING RICHARD." Is this better? Share asked
me to help her unpack the word "FRIGGING" Richard, so I did. She wrote it; she
could have Googled it herself, if she was unaware of what she wrote. I think
Feste should check in on her to make sure she is O.K. as I don't understand why
she didn't know what she was writing or why she didn't know to Google the word.

This very impressive, Emily, especially during the Christmas season!
