'Most of you won't know or remember me but I thought I'd dust off my account to pop in and say hi to my ISTJ friends. Hi! :proud: How's life been for all you introverted sensors?
As an INFP with an ISTJ parent, I echo your original sentiment. INFPs are perfectionists and having an ISTJ authority figure pointing out your flaws repeatedly can decimate what little...
I agree with Niss. This: was especially troublesome to read. Does he initiate contact with you while you are apart or are you the one who calls or texts? Does he make you a priority when you...
That's our general rule as well, but what usually happens is that the car/refrigerator/dishwasher/clothesdryer/washing machine/whatever breaks down before we've saved the money up again. I'd like to...
Ugh. I bet you really appreciate air conditioning at the end of a long day.
There is a fair bit of country-influenced music but the majority of it is going to be more along the lines of alt or red dirt country. Country would be just a small fraction of the music you can...
Eh. Winter is overrated. That's why God made Colorado: you can go visit winter for a week and then come home and not have to shovel, salt or plow to get out of the driveway. :wink: (I can't...
Austin is amazing. Texas Hill Country is good for the soul. http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4021/4502211847_29d3936309.jpg Good food, good music, high employment rates, low taxes, Longhorn...
Cool. Just found out the coil in our air conditioning unit needs to be replaced. Instead of focusing on the fact that our ten year anniversary/post-graduation trip set in January for Mr. Tuttle...

Awesome.
Frustrated. Because the pile of laundry from vacation is not sorting/washing/drying/folding/putting away itself. My remedy? Pinterest: every creative procrastinator's dream. (I have some...
I think each of your dominant functions (your introverted intuition and his introverted sensing) can work really well together, as they are both perceiving functions (meaning those functions record...
If you are ever in St. Louis, you must visit the City Museum. ETA: Grrr. I can't figure how to copy/paste on an iPad. Citymuseum.org
If this meetup happens within a 300 mile radius of DFW, I am sooo there. With my camera. And video camera. And a notary. FYI: I highly recommend Clinique (or Dior if you want to splurge).
You really do get what you pay for. This is especially true for mascara.
Ha! That seriously made me laugh out loud!
sRae and Memphisto, Ahh, my INFP sisters. I've never felt closer to the two of you. My notes/lists have saved me from myself more times than I care to remember.
Ugh. Pursuing. I promise I'm not drunk. And Ryan, I hope you know I wasn't trying to come across condescendingly. After I reread my post, I realized it could sound that way. Totally not my intention....
Yeah, that's true, but guess what? *Every* long-term relationship requires life-long compromises from *both* parties. If you aren't at a point in your life where you willingly want to make those...
IMO, the most extroverted introverts would be IXFJ's because their secondary function, extraverted feeling, drives them to connect with others. I'd also guess that ISXPs would be next, with INXPs...
Elated and/or THRILLED! These aren't the best pictures that show the color/pattern contrast or detail, but WOW. I am so pleased with how this turned out. Front:...
Amused. Back at Mom and Dad's to finish up my quilt. Despite being a P I can be a bit OCD when it comes to creative things. While I was ripping out my third mildly crooked seam (all the while...
A portion of my family originated from Louisiana and I've met several Cajun relatives. When I was young (6, 7ish), I thought the song Secret Agent Man was instead titled Secret Cajun Man. Even...
As incredibly blissful as that sounds, it's not possible. Mr. Tuttle has since apologized and will be taking the kids out tonight and tomorrow evening so I can get some desperately needed quiet time...
Thank you for your service! It is certainly appreciated.

As much as I'd love to say doing I'm going to have to go with day-dreaming. I'm an all-or-nothing person and am terrified of failure: if I can't do it perfectly, I won't do it. My perfectionism...
I am angry. Death sucks. Funerals suck. Deadbeat dads who abandon their kids for over 20+ years suck. Custody battles over a three-year old who just lost his mother between a grieving...
Thank you everybody. I can't begin to explain how much your kind words mean to me. This is all so completely unreal. She was 24 years old, had a 3 year old son, was two semesters away from...
My cousin died in an accident late last night. I am in absolute shock. I mean, I just talked to her the other day. How can this be? How can she have been here yesterday and now she's not? I...
The anti-depressant mention gave it away, huh? Two thoughts: 1) I am shocked, just shocked, that you can't precisely remember when you thought about doing something crazy and 2) I wonder what...
Brooding, but restless would be more accurate. Too much routine is suffocating me. I need... a change, a shift in perspective, to shake things up, to climb a (figurative) mountain. I want to...
17818 Will I earn 100 points if I step on you?
One of today's featured articles on Psychology Today: How To Read People Good timing. :happy:
:laughing: Could you please tell my children that there will be no cooking on my part with this kind of headache? I mean, I fed them a mere seven hours ago. They have to eat again already? ...
I know you have closed this thread but I really hope you'll hear me out. I know this is long so if you read nothing else, please go here to read further about Biblical boundaries. FYI: I have a...
gaudy316, my offer still stands. Good luck to you, whatever you decide. And thank you everyone for your kind words and for thanking my post. It means more than you'll ever know. :happy:
I want to start out with all of my qualifiers at the beginning of this: -I love my mom. -I respect my mom. -Not every female ISTJ who happens to be a mom would behave this way. -My intent is not...
Cool. It's like my very own bat-signal! :cool: OP, give me a little while to organize my thoughts and I'll be back with (what hopefully will be) liberating advice. You may not want to hear it...
Or just listen to what Niss says.
I'll have more mental stamina to answer this more in-depth tomorrow but the question you probably should ask yourself is not How do I earn my mom's approval? but rather How do I make life-altering...
LOL :crazy: Yeah, karaoke sounds SO relaxing. We can sing a mean rendition of Islands In The Stream but that's the extent of our entertainment repertoire. And no we will not perform it for you...
Mood: Plotting. Three days of intense quilting instruction has led me to stash a pair of pinking shears in my apron pocket. I say this knowing full well that mom has a pair of snips in her own...
Y'all have NO idea how difficult this season has been for me. When the season started, we pegged him as a pretty intense individual. The super-alpha male persona didn't emerge until later in the...'
