Gratification: Instant, Delayed, Denied....

[Andy54Hawken]

A claymore has a delayed fuse of which I'm instantly grateful.. and my saved up cookies.
It's really rather simple.

This is true ...at least for me

On a more humorous note....

As much as I love shooting flintlock rifles and firearms....
One can depending on many factors in play , experience :
Instant , delayed or denied gratification when shooting one ....all in the same shooting match...

Gratification for me is when I walk away from an accomplished task with a smile on my face and no one else needs to know.

According to delayed gratification logic, you would have a greater level of gratification if you dragged those tasks out, over 10 or 20 years.

I got up at 3 this morning.
Peristalis set in before I even made coffee. I listened to my body and made a boomboom without having my traditional first cup of the morning.

Should I have waited? Would I have been better off holding back the brown?
Could sandbagging the cable cutting operation til tonight be the answer?

Or would I end up like John Wayne?

I vote for healthy interactions with my impulses, vs. a fecal impaction. Thank you.

Gratification ....much like many things , should happen so as to fit the situation and a person's needs.
It makes no sense to me to categorize it or make it fit...it should happen naturally and on its own time table.

Gratification is an illusion, grasshopper.
On the face or deep inside?
Both!!

If you string together enough words....or search long enough to find examples....
Eventually you will be able to justify any old damn thing.

Live your life as wish.
Understand however...that all choices have consequences...
And consequences are of our own making...Since we made a choice.

If you don't like your consequences....then make a better or different choice.

I suspect this is ANOTHER "struggle thread" because SOMEONE (gee, who could that be) is addicted to "spaving" (buy enough for "free" shipping) and always prowling for "good deals"….. and decries about not having enough money, or space to store it.




What a life…..

Credit card spending was down last month, likely due to being maxed out.
Got a circular in the mail from MidWay yesterday. I have never done business with them.

Things are getting tight.

It's about engagment. It keeps the forum world running.

Not yet.

Not for about 40 years.

Is there a dagger, such as this, in her hand for me?

I might not have the words exactly right

If only I hadn't drowned them all at birth, woe unto the fishes….

Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea.
Joy to you and me!

Joy to you and me!

I waited until after 6:00PM PST to post to this thread. I feel quite rewarded.

Gratification is best defined for one's own self.
Just don't abuse self gratification or you will go blind....damn this key board and screen are difficult to see....
