I understood Augies' response quite well....those were the first words out of my mouth.....
Whatever the problem...my FIRST reaction is to find the most pleasant way to fix the situation.....If things get nasty, THEN I get emotional....but I still try to fix it.....after 3 strikes and it still can't be done......I turn my back (an old Indian Tradition) and walk away from the situation, or person....then the situation/person becomes dead to me....and no ghost or spirit to communicate with....  |

| Well, it depends on the problem . . . Normal mundane ones, I can sometimes "What if" myself to death on . . . Those requiring immediate action on my part will throw me into "Act first, panic later" mode. |

| I like to take the direct approach and smack the problem with a ball peen hammer... sometimes this can cause problems if the problem is also a person... |

It truly depends on the severity of the problem.
I have to infer peg, you mean something larger than
a late charge at the library.
Beleive it or not, I think "communication" is the answer
to many of our problems we butt heads with every day.
Say my little girl has a fight with a boy at schoul(lol school).
I want to talk to the counselor and his parents.
I would automatically expect a " this is my child and he's right" response. So, show the parents some understanding, start a dialogue, this breaks down that wall and helps find common
ground. We both love our kids, and they are kids, lets work
to resolve this.
I think I learned this in dealing with the public in my job. You might
be amazed at the chips some of the usually normal folks bring in on their shoulder. When you get thru that, you can go where you want
to go.
I still reserve the right to decide when I've got a real jerk on my
hands and treat them so.
I keep a large trout handy and hit them right in the puss.
Was that more than you wanted to hear?

Saddam is a problem. Mr. Shatner said so himself.
Take your hammer and go deal with the problem.
Don't mind me, Bong. The brandy is going down nicely tonight.

If he turns up in my backyard I will happily do so, then have him stuffed and charge admission. |

I also react differently depending on what the problem is. So I suppose my first reaction is to be mildly annoyed that my forward motion has been stopped, followed quickly by assessing the severity and possible solutions of the problem. I like finding the quickest, most efficient solutions to things, so usually I'm only annoyed for a few seconds, and then i get wrapped up in the fun of fixing things.

You know, this is great, really.
I was looking for something a little different,
but these answers are more detailed and a better
interpretation of the question.
I've been on a feeling kick lately, so I was looking
for first, emotional reaction and what I'm seeing
is first "action" when faced with a problem.
I think with "feeling', it doesn't matter how big the problem is or isn't, the instinctive or habitual
feeling you have just increases or decreases.
With my example: "You can't hurt me."....if it's a minor problem, then I might say it like a taunt (to myself, of course)....if a major problem, it feels more like a declaration... and loud.
Claudia expressed a feeling in her "sigh", Honor in her"act now, panic later", i.e., repress any feeling in order to be able to act, and Diane gets annoyed for a few seconds and joains, outraged.
Then, they all take action;
just a few seconds pause...not an issue, imo.
Ten men responded....none say they react with a feeling first.
Seven women responded.....five react, at first, with a feeling.
Hmm....what do you think, Robert?

My solution to a problem is to say, "People, we must move forwards, not backwards. Sideways, not forwards, and always twirling, twirling, twirling..."
Or perhaps, "Ladies and gentlemen, I stand before you, not behind you, to tell you something which I know nothing about."
Err...

Well, I was able to test the question yesterday morning, as you already know Peg.
I awoke to spirit showing and telling me that my cat Kewachte was dead on the couch...which got me UP in a flash....went into livingroom and she was puking, everywhere...which quickly went into respitory distress...so I had to blow in her mouth...then it went into insulin shock.....which meant...scoop her up and run to car -to vet...without changing clothes or brushing teeth....got her there to start treatment....and then tests...more tests...more tests....overnight stay....$$$...you all know....
So, I have to stick by what I originally said....
I move to fix the problem first.....and get emotional later...it was 4 hours before the tears started....even then, I chooked back it all in order to be professional and be able to do the medical procedures on the sanctuary cats......
So, maybe, I'm just really in touch with my male side...ewwww... |

The concensus seems to be that, you should not react,
you should respond to a problem.
