Is she like that poor Utah woman ( 80 mph story) that tries too hard??

I think (oh! oh!) that at times we try too hard. Most of the common folks don't try
at all, which makes us stand out, and causes waves. People don't want their boat rocked!

Some times you've just got to please yourself, and that could involve the T word!!!

Frank, I want to say," Thanks." You've shown me that there are others out there with a thinking problem also. I've been thinking that I was alone. Maybe finding this forum was my subconscious way of seeking solace. You've given me courage to seek others with this affliction.

You're welcome! Be aware that thinkers are a small group; others may be hard to find (locally at least).

Thinking and youngin's and non-thinking parents

We used to think that kids' brains matured around 16. Witness driver lic's at 16, drinking at 18-21.

Whoops, the brain does not mature till 25. Unable to think, then unable to think are allowed behind the wheel, drinking, smoking pot, driving the high horsepower cars their non-thinking parents bought them expecting the kids to be "thinking" because of their belief that they have matured thinking brains".

Parent then try to think about their kid's inability to think and the non-thinking parents get lost in trying think about their kids thinking(not) ,and then the parent nonthinking about the kid's non thinking while all the while nonthinking that their thinking is actually true thinking.

Sometimes this non-thinking illness is life-long for both parties....life-long.

I did think about that issue and years ago I decided that best solution is just think everything in English and then translate for my native language, it is easier that way, no accidental double thinking anymore
