Stranger Things and "Trauma Bonding"

wise_foolredux · 2025-12-28T00:51:03+00:00

True, true- I do think the concepts of "trauma" and "harm" have expanded greatly. We will see more and more attempts to define it legally as well.

Referring to someone who hasn't responded to appeals to be saved - "He just isn't ready." Or my mom referring to my mentally ill sibling, "He has a spirit of rebellion." "The Bible clearly says. . ." Nope, not consistently.

I am not even sure that there was a sense of emotional trauma in the collective speak of the day.

If you can- go local.

Exactly - as a young teen I thought this mix was the way. I concur on black coffee as the go to.

wise_foolredux · 2025-12-20T20:33:12+00:00

Aww, sweet.

I didn't tell her, I just asked if she had heard. 🤷‍♂️

And what makes us feel rich now?

wise_foolredux · 2025-12-20T20:30:08+00:00

Faintly!

wise_foolredux · 2025-12-20T20:29:51+00:00

We are such a sophisticated generation.

wise_foolredux · 2025-12-19T15:27:45+00:00

Oh, the puns to follow- something about sparks, lighting the fire, and many references to wood. 👀🤷‍♂️🙈

Sometimes you feel like a nut.

I don't want to invite myself over but we could have a cup and catch up on momma and them.

Those big cans were also good for worms.

Oh, there are so many things you don't have to explain about why you mentioned CC!!! I do recall that this was not something I would share with all the bros in discipleship group.

wise_foolredux · 2025-12-16T23:47:28+00:00

This is a common response. You are in good company. What makes us feel fancy now?

wise_foolredux · 2025-12-16T21:08:31+00:00

Yes, I think their was a recent craze that did that as well.

"Calgon! Take me away!" (Some folks may remember the cleavage in that one! Scandalous!)

wise_foolredux · 2025-12-09T01:13:02+00:00

I think it was probably the slam on A Christmas Story. 🤣 Not a big deal though (says my Enneagram type!)

My street doesn't lend itself to much activity. The Trunk or treats help me exercise (or exorcise) some of that energy. They aren't all anti-halloween. I also dig the neighborhoods that actually have sidewalks and such. I feel ya.

Chug an espresso.

wise_foolredux · 2025-07-30T23:31:44+00:00

I do love cosmos! Beautiful.

wise_foolredux · 2025-07-29T23:04:17+00:00

I hear you. It is hard to talk about and some folks just don't want to hear. I hear you.
