Do you ever get tired...

[CaliforniaPeggy]

of being good, of behaving yourself?

Do you ever want to kick over the traces, let loose, and generally raise hell?

Some days I am so fucking tired of being the good mom, the good wife, the good citizen...

And I just want to act out and be crazy!

And then my mature side emerges...

And it's all over.....

*sigh*

:cry:

:crazy:

[Swede]

1. Not another rant from Peggy!

You're gonna burst a gasket.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

3. My dear Swede!

Are my rants getting old?

Sorry...

And BTW, I'd burst a gasket if I didn't rant!

[Swede]

5. Peggy,you never rant.

Just yanking your chain.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

8. Thank you, my dear Swede!

For telling me...

I never know...

:hug:

[Critters2]

13. Never apologize for ranting.

God made the Lounge so you could rant. To protect your gaskets.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

16. Maybe you're right, my dear mycritters2...

It would really make a mess if my gaskets blew!

And you know how much I love being here in the Lounge...

It's my electronic home...:hug:

Thanks, sweetie...

[EstimatedProphet]

2. Rock on Peggy!

Let it all out! Come on! It's GOOD for you!

Peg-GY! Peg-GY! Peg-GY! Peg-GY!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

6. My dear EstimatedProphet!

Thank you, sweetie!

Believe me, I did let it all out...

And I feel better for having done so!

:woohoo:

[EstimatedProphet]

25. Good! Maturity causes depression

[EFerrari]

4. There should be medication for the Mature Side.

:evilgrin:

:hug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

7. My dear sfexpat 2000!

Oh, I agree!

To stop it!:evilgrin:

Thanks, sweetie...:hug:

[rug]

9. Oh just go for it. Burn the damn muffins!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

11. My dear rug!

Good idea!

:rofl:

[Briarius]

10. That makes me think of a quote...

Every normal man must be tempted at times to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin to slit throats.

—H.L. Mencken

[CaliforniaPeggy]

12. My dear Briarius!

Now there's an excellent quote!

Thank you for it!

:yourock:

[Briarius]

20. Thank you very much CP

;)

[Aristus]

14. I've spent my whole life wanting to go crazy and do fun, dangerous, irresponsible

things.

On the one or two occasions when I have (usually fueled by too much booze), I've ended up saying or doing something that hurt somebody else. I regret that immensely. Some people can do that kind of thing and get away with it. Not me, evidently. :(

[CaliforniaPeggy]

17. My dear Aristus...

I think its really normal to have these feelings...

I'm sorry that you've had unpleasant consequences from acting on them...

I have never actually acted out on mine...

The fear of what could really happen always stops me...:hug:

[Shine]

15. Yes, and usually when I'm acting crazy alcohol is involved.

:evilgrin:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

18. My dear Shine!

Well, tonight, no alcohol is involved!

Maybe it's a good thing that I rarely drink!

I can be crazy too when I do....

You saw that last summer, didn't you?

It was fun! :evilgrin:

[idgiehkt]

19. what does it mean to "kick over the traces"?

I get a wild hair every now and then. In the past I've started smoking again when that happened. I am getting to the age where it will wreck my skin if I do that though, (vanity over health, lol) so I have to find a new way to rebel. :hi:

[EFerrari]

21. Traces are either some kind of harness for horses or those pretty lights.

:)

[idgiehkt]

29. okay

A horse is harnessed to a carriage, wagon or cart with traces, which are the leather straps that run horizontally along the horse's sides. If through overexcitement or excess of energy the horse starts to buck and kick out, if it isn't quickly brought under control it may manage to kick right over the traces, i.e. get its leg over these straps. Your horse and cart are now in a horrid mess - a bit like having your dog wrap its lead round your legs and a lamp-post, but much more dangerous and harder to disentangle. (VSD)

: : : It this something used metaphorically? Used currently, or now archaic?

: : It's used metaphorically for people who are supposed to follow certain rules and protocols, but get out of line--deliberately. With horses it's sometimes hard to say what's deliberate or not. Humans who kick over the traces do it on purpose, but sometimes they are provoked. If you yank somebody's chain, he may kick over the traces. Sorry about the mixed metaphor. Sometimes kicking over the traces is a bid for freedom of a sort, frequently on the part of humans, sometimes on the part of horses. But someone else will have to supply examples.

Learn something new every day. :)

[EFerrari]

30. I really like to know what things really mean.

:)

/oops

[idgiehkt]

34. me too

because they always do mean something, and you can learn so much by it, at least about culture and how things used to be. A lot of people never even think about it. :hi:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

22. My dear idgie!

I think it's a reference to the horse-and-buggy days...

And the reins were referred to as "traces..."

I'm not sure, though...

I'm glad you're not smoking!

There have to be less destructive ways to cut loose!

:bounce: :bounce:

[idgiehkt]

28. yeah, but I've ran through all of them

:(

Thanks! :hi:

[TOhioLiberal]

23. Yep...

...Very tired.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

42. My dear TOhioLiberal...

I hear you, sweetie....I really do.

:hug:

[SPKrazy]

24. let it all hang out peggy!

:hug:

:loveya:

i know what ya mean

[CaliforniaPeggy]

43. My dear Southpawkicker!

Oh believe you me....

I was!

And now I'm full of dinner...

And feeling much calmer...

But there's always tomorrow for more rants!

:loveya:

:hug:

[SPKrazy]

56. I ranted earlier

and might have even raved

but I'm feeling good now!

:loveya:

:hug:

[lost-in-nj]

26. CP dropped THE F BOMB AGAIN!!!!!

:bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: \


I am with you 100%

just might next week
going to the Atlantis in the Bahamas

trouble could happen!!!!!!!


:hug: :hug:

lost

[CaliforniaPeggy]

44. My dear lost!

I wondered if anyone would spot that!

We need to cut loose now and then...

If only in our dreams...

Otherwise we go nuts...

Have a terrific time on your trip!

:hug: :hug:

[billyoc]

27. Sometimes I get tired

of brawling with non-union workers, goons, bosses.

I feel like I'd just like to meet someone nice, settle down and raise a family.
Mow a lawn, play with children, go to a PTA meeting, have the neighbors over for dinner.

And then my mature side emerges...

And it's all over...

Funny how things work out, Peg. :hi:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

45. My dear billoc...

Yeah, isn't it funny how things work out?

You never know just where the road will go, do you?

I hope your fatigue disappears...:hug:

[Debi]

31. Peggy...go be naughty!

I'll wire your bail money no matter what jail you end up in! :hi:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

46. My dear Debi!

Aw, sweetie...

Thanks!

I know you would...

:hug:

[Left Is Write]

32. Yes. Sometimes I feel exactly like that!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

47. My dear Left Is Write!

I am not surprised to see you here tonight, sweetie...

You've been having a tough time lately...

I'll call you if I decide to go...

We'll make a road trip of it!

:bounce: :bounce:


:hug:

[SeattleGirl]

33. Hell yeah!

Hell, YEAH!!!!

:grr:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

48. My dear SeattleGirl!

And on my way to pick up Left Is Write....

I'll fetch you too!

Oh, I hear you, sweetie...

:hug:

[blondie58]

35. well, I hear ya, girlfriend

But you know what really makes you old? NOT PLAYING!!! Yep, people who stop playing are the oldest, most boring people around!

I have a very spontaneous personality myself, and have found myself doing things like buying tickets on Ebay to a concert 800 miles away- well, they were cheap and great seats to boot- to see one of my favorite groups, the Barenaked Ladies.

Luckily, my good friend didn't question my sanity and went along for the ride- boy, boy did we have fun! This was a special winter concert with them, Nelly Furtado, Jessica Simpson, the Calling, Michelle Branch- and oh, yeah- O-town. Well, we were four rows back, but all of the teeny boppers had to leave, as it was a school night- so we made our way up to the front row!!

I shook hands with Ed and Steve! And we will always have sweet memories of Ed wearing on both his head and his guitar the pampers that we brought as we could not find a store in KC that sold cheap undies. You have to be a die hard fan to understand.

Neither one of us wanted to come back to reality, but maturity finally set in and we dutifully made our way back home.


I guess what I'm really trying to say is- you need to get together with a girlfriend and do something crazy. Sorry, hubbie won't do- you know that you'd have more fun with a girlfriend. I don't know- go to Las Vegas, Tijuana, a day spa- no matter- just go and PLAY!!!

But really, Peggy, you should probably watch your language. I think that the morality police probably have you on their list. Why I think that this is the second time this week that you've used THAT word. And that doesn't even count all of the sh*t and hell's that might have come from your area!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

50. My dear blondie58!

LOL!

You made me laugh!

I will always play, in some fashion or other...

My soul demands it!

And as for watching my language! Well, missy...

I don't drop that bomb lightly, I can tell you!

I'm not too worried about the morality police, anyhow......I think!:scared:

:bounce: :bounce:

:wtf:

[struggle4progress]

36. I dunno: you're being kinda vague. When you say "act out and be crazy" do you mean

showering without a showercap? or painting your finger and toenails twenty clashing colors? or staying out past midnight at a local bar? or do you mean stealing a car, driving down to Mexico, filling the trunk with marijuana and then setting the dope on fire just before trying to crash through at the US border?

[EFerrari]

37. Are you trying to get this thread locked?

:)

[struggle4progress]

39. Her idea of a wild crazy time is getting a Lounge thread locked?

And I thought maybe she wanted to revive the Oneida colony or something ...

[EFerrari]

40. Never underestimate the power of California Peggy.

:)

[struggle4progress]

41. Oh, I don't. Ever since she was a moderator, I carefully behave myself everywhere

cuz I never know whether she might be watching me on some webcam somewhere

[CaliforniaPeggy]

51. My dear struggle4progress!

Well, you know....I'm not really sure what I mean...

I hadn't gotten that far yet!

Your list is inspired, but none of the things on it have even remotely crossed my mind!

It's probably just as well that I have no idea...

If I did know, then the chances are much greater that I would act!

:toast:

[av8rdave]

38. We all feel that way sometimes, I think.....

Sometimes I hate my mature side! lol

[CaliforniaPeggy]

52. My dear av8rdave!

Yeah, oh, how I hear you!

Sometimes I hate my mature side too!

:hug:

[u4ic]

49. I can sort of relate, Peggy

though it's usually it's my mature side that wants to break out once in awhile...:P


:hug: :hi:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

53. My dear U4ic!

You go, girl!

You will never be old with that attitude, sweetie!



:pals: :hug:

[alarimer]

54. Yes. I daydream about quitting my job every day

I would if I won the lottery but failing that I still have bills to pay. And most people would say it was a good job too. I guess I am tired of it. I so hate being a grown-up.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

55. My dear alarimer...

I'm sorry being a grownup is so hard for you...

Is there some way that you could explore some new job?

Or new hobby?

Sounds to me as though you're in a rut, and those are boring!

Wish I could help, sweetie...:hug:

[Bryn]

57. You need to take a long vacation to Greek like Shirley Valentine

remember that movie "Shirley Valentine"? It was very funny!

[Bryn]

58. forgot to add: By yourself! :)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

60. I have travelled by myself...

And I do enjoy that ...

One day, I will travel by myself once again...

It's good to get away by yourself........:pals:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

59. My dear Bryn...

I actually never saw "Shirley Valentine."

I did hear that it was good, though!

Alas, however, another trip abroad just isn't in the cards now!

No money, and no time are the chief reasons...

I'm really OK...

Just needed to rant tonight!

I appreciate your suggestion though.....very much...:hug:

[Bryn]

61. Then rent that movie!

You will LOVE it! You will be able to lose yourself in that movie. It's so full of laughs. Go and rent it and have a glass of wine..make sure you're all alone. You need it! :hug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

62. Sounds like a plan...

Thanks, sweetie....:hug:

[The Straight Story]

63. I try to balance out the force and be both good and bad :)

Keeps it interesting to be sure!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

65. My dear Straight Story...

I really try to do this too...

But every now and then, my desires overwhelm me...

And I yearn for what I cannot tell...

Never a dull moment, though!

:hi:

[GoddessOfGuinness]

64. What is "good"?

What defines "behaving" ones self?

I think it's important, now and then, to let go and be crazy. All things in moderation...

[CaliforniaPeggy]

66. Good questions, my dear GoddessOfGuinness!

I'd guess being "good" means staying in your little rut and taking care of your life the way you should...

I completely agree about letting go and being crazy...

I guess I haven't done that in a while...

Maybe I'm afraid...

:shrug:


:hi:

[GoddessOfGuinness]

67. Maybe you should come out here,

and we'll be wild and crazy gals! :hug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

68. I'd love that!

Alas, my time is not my own, now...

I start school at the end of the month, thank goodness...

And twice a week I'm going for PT for my lousy left shoulder...

But thank you, sweetie....I really appreciate the safety valve...:loveya:

[GoddessOfGuinness]

71. You start school?

Will you be teaching or taking classes?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

94. Yup, I'm starting school on August 28th...

I will be taking a creative writing class, on how to write poetry!

I cannot wait!

:bounce: :bounce:

[GoddessOfGuinness]

99. Good for you!

You'll have to share with us, ok? :hug:

[astral]

69. Your friends here are right

You do need a major vacation! But in between times, you also need minor vacations -- you gotta let yourself off that leash on a regular basis! An author I like, Colin Wilson, used to write about the importance of vacations (well, he probably still does I think he's still alive~!) and how the human spirit loses its spontaneity and hence its joy in living from the drudgery of day-to-day life, and having to be in the 'robot-mode' so much of the time. In fact, we spend so much time in 'robot-mode' as we have to in order to drive to work every day, do our boring jobs, come home and clean up the kitchen and do the laundry etc etc .. .. that we can have TROUBLE coming OUT of the robot-mode, even when we want to --- which is the importance of vacations to re-charge our human spirit.

Seriously, depriving ourselves is like depriving ourselves of drinking water to stay alive and healthy.

Mini-vacations can include meditation time, getting out for an early morning walk, of course hikes / a few peaceful hours to yourself away from home (or not!), the usual off to dinner and the movies with your girlfriend(s), maybe learning a new hobby.

But do take that wild and crazy trip too!

I think the urge to want to drop everything and tear up your world is from letting yourself suffer from too much self-deprivation for too long.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

73. My dear astral...

Well, you may be right....

But right now it's impossible, for reasons I stated in my post to GoddessOfGuinness...

I don't normally carry on like this...

Once school starts, I will be much happier!

I've had my major vacation this year already...3 weeks abroad, Germany, and the Czech Republic...

Thank you, though...I'll be OK...

:hug:

[Le Taz Hot]

70. No, because I've never actually

suffered from this "behaving yourself" malady. Perhaps this is why I am DU's anti-CaliforniaPeggy (sort of like the antiChrist but meaner). :evilgrin:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

75. My dear Le Taz Hot!

Well, good for you!

May you live long and prosper!

:evilgrin:

[WCGreen]

72. Nope....

Never once...

[CaliforniaPeggy]

76. Hmmm...

I'm not entirely sure I believe you!

Always behaved?

Well....always exhibited behavior, maybe!:evilgrin:

:rofl: :rofl:

[Heidi]

74. Being a "good mom, good wife" and "good citizen" shouldn't prevent you from being a passionate,

fully engaged human being, Peggy. I consider myself to be all of those things (including good "mom" to Ginger), and I do occasionally raise some hell. :shrug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

77. My dear Heidi!

How lovely to see you, sweetie!

And your points are well taken...

I've always felt as though it was an either/or proposition...

But it doesn't have to be that way, does it?

Thank you for this insight...:hug:

[Heidi]

78. Well, now that you know you don't have to be a Stepford Wife,

go raise yerself some hell, gf! :hug: :loveya:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

80. Right away, ma'am!

So good to have you posting again...

You have been missed...

Stepford Wife! :rofl: :rofl:

[leftofthedial]

79. if you wanna get to heaven

you got to raise a little hell

[CaliforniaPeggy]

82. My dear leftofthedial!

Ah, truer words have rarely been spoken!

Thanks, sweetie...:hug:

[UrbScotty]

81. ARE YOU BAT$#!^ INSANE, MY DEAR CALIFORNIAPEGGY?

Seriously though, yes, I sometimes feel that way. It's hard to be polite at a certain point.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

84. My dear ih8thegop!

Me? Insane? Nevah!

I hear you.......we all have moments when our passions take over, and then .....look out!

I can be polite.....as well as crazy!

:hug:

[Writer]

83. I am glad you posted this thead, Peggy.

Because I understand how you feel. But be glad. Use me as an example:

Because of the thoughts, words, and pictures I have posted on DU, I:

- Will never be able to run for public office. ANY public office.

- May - MAY - have trouble pursuing my interests in the future at a political think tank post-PhD.

- Am risking blackmail if any person in this forum hated me enough to carry that sort of vendetta into the real world... especially if my writing were to actually take off or if my scholastics carried me somewhere.


I'm certain that there are more consequences. All of this stems from keeping my inhibitions in check - actually severely repressed - because I never permitted myself access to them for many, many years (frankly I never thought I deserved them). Feelings such as sexuality, joy, love, friendship, an outspoken, unpopular opinion, or so much more. But I am a grown woman and I am prepared to accept any consequences that arise from my decisions. My God if any DU'er met me in real life they wouldn't recognize me. I am quiet, somewhat serious, and overly modest.

So I suppose what I'm saying is not to kick yourself for controlling your inhibitions. I understand the need to go wild, and maybe you should in moderation ;) but don't go crazy. :hug:

~Writer~

[CaliforniaPeggy]

85. My dear Writer...

I am happy to have posted this...

I'm not so sure about your not running for public office...

There are folks who post here who have done that, in spite of past actions...

I'm just venting tonight. Every now and then I feel this way, but I've never acted on it before...

It passes...

Until the next time...

I use my writing and photography as outlets...

And once school starts at the end of the month, I will be busy with that.

And I will be glad of it...

Until the next time...

Thanks, sweetie...:hug:

[Skittles]

86. I have no idea what you refer to, darling

[CaliforniaPeggy]

89. My dear AZDemDist6!

Not to worry!

I'm really not into public urination or anything else like that!:puke:

I'm actually a very private person...

My passions are rarely trotted out for all to view...

:hug:

[LeftyFingerPop]

90. My dear Peggy...

I never tire of being good and behaving myself.

I always show my mature side, especially when posting in the lounge.

Now, pray with me, and we shall rid your soul of these doubts you are having. O8) O8) :evilgrin:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

92. My dear philboy!

Oh, REALLY?

Sure, sweetie....

Prayer works...Of course, it depends on what you're praying for....or is it preying? :evilgrin:

[Dervill Crow]

91. That's why I joined a pirate group at meetup.com.

I dress up like a pirate and go out drinking (most often iced tea, but once in a while rum) once a month and sing bawdy songs. It's cathartic. I highly recommend it.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

93. My dear Blue!

Now there you have an idea!

I think you're having fun....and that's a great pic!

Thanks, sweetie...

:toast:

[NewWaveChick1981]

95. Yes.

:evilgrin: I deal with my "mature" side as little as possible.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

96. My dear NewWaveChick!

Good for you, sweetie!

I'm proud of you!

:bounce: :bounce:

:evilgrin:

[MissMillie]

97. I definitely have those days....

... and there's usually tequila involved.

I think everyone needs to cut loose every now and then. That's healthy.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

98. My dear MissMillie...

Yep, I think you're correct...

We all have them, and we need to have them...

Otherwise we go nuts!

Tequila's good, too...:toast:

[BarenakedLady]

100. Oh yes

All the time.

There are days where I wish to just be totally selfish and do what I really want to do with no regard for the consequences.

But I don't.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

103. My dear BarenakedLady...

Join the club, sweetie!

We have to figure out some constructive ways to use our passion...without harming anyone...:hug:

But believe me when I tell you, I know where you're coming from.

I really do know.

[AwakeAtLast]

101. I'll make the Margaritas, CalPeggy!

It's times like that when a good Margarita is all I need!

:hug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

104. My dear WakeMeUp!

All right!

I love Margaritas!

:hug:

[redqueen]

102. Oh yes...

so, every once in a while, i DO let loose, and break a few rules.

:evilgrin:

it's good for you!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

105. My dear redqueen...

Indeed yes!

Break a few rules, or else go insane!

And I'm not ready to lose my mind just yet...

I'm all for doing things that are good for me!:evilgrin:

[wildhorses]

106. drop an 'f' bomb....

sometimes a girl just gotta do what a girls gotta do :hug:

edited for the usual blunderous typos:blush:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

108. My dear wildhorses...

And yes, sometimes a girl's gotta do just what a girl's gotta do!

I understand you perfectly, sweetie....don't worry about the typos...

Your thoughts come across with considerable clarity...:hug:

[TZ]

107. Holy cow, yes....

Now if only I could get a certain other person to feel the same way (and give me a repeat of a VERY naughty birthday present) life would be sweet.....:cry:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

109. My dear turtlensue...

I'm hoping that your certain someone sees this, and grants your wish...

We all need more sweetness and wildness in our lives...:hug:

[Pacifist Patriot]

110. That's one of the things I love about the comic strip...

Rose Is Rose

Oh baby do I have bad girl fantasies! :)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

113. My dear Pacifist Patriot!

I don't get that one........

But hey....have fun with your bad girl fantasies!

They are usually better than anything you can get in real life!

:woohoo:

[Bullwinkle925]

111. HELL YES!!!!

YOU GO GIRL!

:toast:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

114. My dear Bullwinkle925!

Ah, good for you!

Believe me, I mostly do have fun...:toast:

[Kerrytravelers]

112. You better behave yourself!!!!

(Because I'm moderating the Lounge!)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

115. My dear Kerrytravelers!

I know you are, sweetie.......You've about dropped off the map!

And believe me, the hell I'd like to raise isn't on here...

It's someplace else...:evilgrin:

[mentalsolstice]

116. No, I have the opposite problem

I get tired of feeling like the

1. bad daughter
2. bad sister-in-law
3. bad daughter-in-law
4. bad wife

Because of #1, I never had children, because my mother advised I wasn't "cut out for it", so I can't add "bad mother" to the list. However, I'm starting to resolve #1 in my mind...my mom has a lot of carry-over guilt b/c of her relationship with her mother (extremely intense, but can't go into details to preserve privacy and dignity).

As for nos. 2,3,4...it's been a bad week (88 y.o. FiL had a triple bypass), and I just need to realize my in-laws had a lot of problems before I came on the scene, and many more since then, that never involved me. Really, I was only involved in 3 flare-ups in the dozen or so, since I came on the scene. Otherwise, most of the dustups have come from gift-buying mistakes...like, why on earth did I think my sister-in-law want a matching Van Gogh umbrella/waterproof tote to carry from her car in a very large corporate parking lot. And when our great-nephew was 7, why did I get him a glow-in-the-dark mobile of the solar system and stick-on stars for his bedroom, and a year later a Geo-Safari...About a year later, I was accused of being a college-educated snob in a big dust-up... Yet, I feel so much guilt, because my husband is so sweet, and he tries so hard to please me AND satisfy his dad and his sister.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

117. My dear mentalsolstice...

My first impression here is that you're trying way too hard to please everyone else...

And in so doing, not taking care of yourself...

I could be wrong, of course...

Take care of yourself....Be true to yourself...

And be respectful of the folks around you...

That might work out better for you...

Your husband sounds like a prince! And a keeper...

:hug:

[mentalsolstice]

121. And you too!

It's hard to be the "goodest" or the "baddest"! And yes, my husband is a prince, yet I worry about him trying to be the "best" for everybody.

Maybe, taking care of yourself, Peg, and myself, Solstice, is the best way WE can be there for those who we truly love?!

[VenusRising]

118. Just rememeber, Peggy...
