I had one of those marker moments once...

As a very young child I was forced to go shopping with my mother. I was not very happy with being forced to tag along to the store, so my response was to climb under the clothing racks and take a shit.
It seemed like a good idea at the time.
Needless to say I have not been allowed back in the store and because of it my self esteem has never recovered.

I am constantly asking myself, "what if i had not shit my pants in the clothing store with my mother?"
"If only I had the presence of mind to follow the regular societal laws that say do not shit your pants in public. Is that so much to ask? I wasn't even forced to not shit my pants in its entirety, but to at least wait until I was no longer in a public place, and particularly that I wasn't sitting underneath a clothing rack at The Bay.
If only I was as smart then as I am now.
Believe me that is a mistake I only needed to make once. It has been weeks since the last time I shit my pants.

Do you really feel bad for taking a poop in public, or is it that once you took the poop you realized that you did not take into consideration the need for toilet paper after the disposal and that you were just really mad at yourself for forgetting to secure a means to wipe. Something tells me you were more upset that you had to go home without a solid wipe than you were about showing the bay staff what you ate for dinner the night before.

I have a no wipe policy

LOL Slings and shanny.

Hmmm... My marker event...

5 yrs ago, I was attending a course for work during the summer. I was never the fittest one around and I was carrying some 60-70 pounds worth of equipment and it was not sitting on my back properly and was very uncomfortable.
As we (the course) were going up this long uphill road, I was falling behind and soon, I was some 500m behind my course.

I had one of the instructors stay with me and he was encouraging me to not to give up and try harder. So I got mad at myself for failing to use my equipment properly and lagging behind. So I started to run, and eventually, I caught up to my mates (and they were pretty surprised)

Mind you, my feet were hamburgers for a while and my back was pretty damn sore, but I learned something about myself. You can break my body, but not my will.

course for what?

What led you to develop such a policy?

Originally posted by Theresa Not the biggest marker point, and not the only, but one that is very obvious and pertinent to my personality. Before grade 6, I was the quietest, shyest little girl you could ever meet. I was soft spoken, and made every attempt to be out of the attention of anyone around me. I would even hide behind my mother like a scared puppy. But when I got to grade 6, I had an experience that completely changed that. I was sitting at my desk in class, listening to the teacher, when she called on me to answer a question. I passively replied in a low, soft whisper. The teacher asked me to repeat myself about 3 times, at which point... she snapped. "HOW IN THE WORLD DO YOU THINK ANYONE CAN HEAR YOU WHEN YOU WHISPER LIKE THAT ALL THE TIME?? WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO DO? BE A LITTLE GHOST?? SPEAK UP SO WE CAN HEAR YOU!! I AM SICK AND TIRED OF ASKING YOU TO REPEAT YOURSELF" She continued to rip into me, and bellow at me for being too quiet and trying to hide myself in the corner. She made me the center of attention. Everyone was staring at me, and everyone was now expecting me to speak up and repeat what I had said for everyone to hear. After that day, I retreated from my passive, quiet, shy self and become louder, and more out-spoken. I decided that there was no shame in being heard. It only progressed from there. I have since received 2 awards for public speaking, and am often thought of as the bold and brave "social butterfly"; often loud, and not a bashful drop of blood left in me. Even to this day, I still don't know whether I resent what she did, or if I am grateful.

You, quiet? Now THAT is hard to believe !

Originally posted by lexxwolfen One of my marker events was when I had an accident that caused me to lose a good chunk of my memory. I was forced to build up a new person cuz the old one was kinda gone. I still remember bits and pieces but my memory from childhood to 14 is pretty much gone. But from what I do remember, I like who I am now better than who I was before. Joining TA is another marker event.

Wow, were you able to retain your core morals and values, or did you have to rediscover those?
