Why Are People Embarrassed By Flatulence?
Flatulence, or passing gas, is a natural bodily function that occurs when the digestive system breaks down food and produces gas as a byproduct. Despite being a natural process, many people feel embarrassed or ashamed when they pass gas in public or around others.
One reason people might feel embarrassed by flatulence is due to social norms and expectations around bodily functions. In many cultures, passing gas is considered impolite and rude, and people may view it as a sign of poor manners or lack of self-control. Additionally, flatulence can be associated with unpleasant smells, which can further add to feelings of embarrassment and discomfort.
Another reason people may feel embarrassed by flatulence is due to personal beliefs or insecurities. Some people may feel ashamed of their bodily functions or believe that passing gas is dirty or inappropriate. Others may be worried about being judged or ridiculed by others for their flatulence.
In some cases, medical conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) or lactose intolerance can cause excessive flatulence, which can be embarrassing and disruptive to daily life. In these situations, seeking medical advice and treatment may help alleviate the symptoms and reduce feelings of embarrassment.
Overall, the embarrassment surrounding flatulence is often a result of social and cultural norms, personal beliefs and insecurities, and the potential for unpleasant smells. However, it's important to remember that passing gas is a normal and natural bodily function, and there's no need to feel ashamed or embarrassed about it.
At the end of the day to most of us it's just funny.
( I am fairly certain it was him).
Breath in so deep. This air is blessed; you share with me.
This night is wild, so calm and dull.
These hearts they race from self control.

When we walk by the Spirit the fruit of the Spirit will be evident in our lives: love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.

this is the pic that was inspired by your vid, Darian! :D i love how it came out~ <3
Ok, each shadow represents each of my repressed feeling and is a demon that haunts a my soul. they are repressed into a psychological "bottle" that i can choose to open. (this is all psychological and metaphorical, folks. i'm not crazy x3)
Lishu- lust. she fills my mind with dirty thought and urges.
Crasus- blood thirst. he controls my urges to kill, destroy, burn, blow up, beat up, and completely obliterate everything and everyone around me, calling it fun.
Rovuresu- paranoia. she is the one who controls my psychopath side, making me want to loose all self-control, reminding me of everything depressing that's ever happened to me.

Wasn't actually breakfast today...but I wish it were. I can't keep cereal in my dorm room because I eat it uncontrollably! It's fine at home, but I seem to lose all self-control at school...!
You shall be holy to me, for I the LORD am holy and have separated you from the peoples, that you should be mine.
So prepare your minds for action and exercise self-control. Put all your hope in the gracious salvation that will come to you when Jesus Christ is revealed to the world. So you must live as God’s obedient children. Don’t slip back into your old ways of living to satisfy your own desires. You didn’t know any better then. But now you must be holy in everything you do, just as God who chose you is holy. For the Scriptures say, “You must be holy because I am holy.” And remember that the heavenly Father to whom you pray has no favorites. He will judge or reward you according to what you do. So you must live in reverent fear of him during your time here as “temporary residents.”
Leviticus 20:26 & 1 Peter 1:15-17
It is so hard to remember that this life is but a mere breath before the thousands of years of eternity and how dearly God wants to draw us to him, but it leads to so much joy! God wants to make me happy via him and not these things made by him. To enjoy the creator, and his creation but with a focus on Him
Sock has been learning patience in the evenings.
After dinner, Scott takes Sock out for a bathroom break and I sit at the door with a toy of some sort and wait for Sock to finish his business.
When they turn back towards me, I make the toy visible and Sock must exercise self control and patience as they ever so slowly walk towards me.
If Sock gets a little too ahead of himself, they go back to the starting line.
We've been doing this for a couple months now and after a rough start, generally Sock does pretty well now and he's always rewarded with his toy.
Hope everyone has had a good day.

This is Flynn being a super duper Good Boy! We were maybe a 100m from the entrance to the woods & Flynn *knew* he was mere moments away from fun & freedom but then his mean old hooman saw some beautiful boring daffodils, dragged him across the road & asked him sit for photos. Pure torture! Luckily, I had brought sausages with me for bribing purposes & after a moment or two of looking wistfully over his shoulder, clearly debating making a run for it, Flynn agreed to co-operate :) He finds having self-control in situations like this quite difficult, so for Flynn, sitting still & waiting was a very challenging exercise, even with sausages on offer... Those sideways ears make me laugh - they're a sure sign he wasn't overly impressed by his hooman's idiotic behaviour & was probably thinking uncharitable thoughts about me - but, still he did as he was asked, so I was happy! Didn't make the poor guy wait too long - & he got revenge by nearly pulling my arm off the moment I said we could go!
Haha, I had thought about taking photos by the flowers on the way home instead but it's a good job I didn't - we had a really wild spring day today. We had sunshine in the morning but by the time we got out for a walk in the afternoon, it was starting to cloud over, when we turned for home, the skies were almost black & it was blowing a gale, by the time we passed these daffodils for the second time, it was absolutely pouring with rain & then it actually started snowing for a bit, then more rain... & then just as we reached the house, sunshine again.
Oh, on a non-dog related note, I've finally got myself a new keyboard & can type again, without wanting to throw my laptop out of the window! Planning on catching up with some commenting soon :)

A busy Sunday morning in the kitchen; decided on trying my hand at a Rhubarb crisp this week for sweet Sunday, as I prepared this, I sampled some of the rhubarb and can't wait to see how it tastes now that it's baked, but I'll exercise a bit of self control and wait for dinner. :)
After baking the crisp, I prepared dinner, another slow cooker meal. Mushroom Stroganoff, it was much simpler than I thought it might be so that's a plus. I'm a big fan of easy meals.
You can always tell it's Sunday when I'm spending the majority of the day in the kitchen.
Anyway, hope everyone has had a good day.
Many factors can limit the size of a group, including external ones that members have no control over. Astronomers have found that groups of stars in certain environments, however, can regulate themselves.
A new study has revealed stars in a cluster having “self-control,” meaning that they allow only a limited number of stars to grow before the biggest and brightest members expel most of the gas from the system. This process should drastically slow down the birth of new stars, which would better align with astronomers’ predictions for how quickly stars form in clusters.
This study combines data from several telescopes including NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory, NASA's now-retired Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA), the APEX (the Atacama Pathfinder EXperiment) telescope, and ESA’s (European Space Agency’s) retired Herschel telescope.
The target of the observations was RCW 36, a large cloud of gas called an HII (pronounced "H-two") region mainly composed of hydrogen atoms that have been ionized — that is, stripped of their electrons. This star-forming complex is located in the Milky Way about 2,900 light-years from Earth. Infrared data from Herschel is shown in red, orange, and green, and X-ray data is blue, with point sources in white. North is 32 degrees left of vertical.

Goal:
To attain an absolute resistance to pain, strength, and level of self control. 99% of the general population could not achieve this, nor can most comprehend it.
Mind over body.
Spirit over pain.

i shoulda had a list...but it still probably wouldn't have done me any good...because i don't stick to them.
after sleeping away most of the day...i got up when my husband asked me if i wanted to go to trader joes. what woman doesn't want to go shopping? of course i do! he wanted to go to get the sweet & spicy pecans...but his mistake was in getting a basket!!!
i walked up and down every aisle...tossing items in casually. this looks good! i always wanted to try this! oh...this is something new! i really don't need an excuse to shop. so...we came here for one item...and left with five bags!
well...the oven just sounded to let me know it's reached the right temp...so i'm going to go pop in those chicken enchiladas...and get myself a beverage to go with 'em. :)
Saw these adorable playscale sets at Tractor Supply yesterday. I was really tempted by this one, but I've already spent enough on my hobby lately so I had some self control and put it back.

Doll is about 9 inches tall. Licca could wear the clothing.
Did not buy - drooled over it though
I'm trying really hard not to convince myself to go back for it.
It took every ounce of self-control not to post this immediately after I uploaded it. Pretty sure this is the funniest photo I have ever taken. Ever ever. And thus, it is my favorite. My manager and I nearly died laughing when I showed it to him on our moving-walkway ride back across the hall.
Fact of the day (other than my funny-picture-taking statistic): This is the first advertising allowed in the "rainbow walkway" at O'Hare. London 2012 achieved the impossible!

i can't believe i actually have a my melody?????
i wasn't supposed to buy any more dolls cause my phone is breaking and i need to buy a new one but i have no self control sooo.
...of being stuck in a box of popcorn whilst you watch an entire feast being served before your very eyes...and in 3D no less!
He pulled off the expression that I wanted PERFECTLY! I spent a few weeks searching for food that would make him really chew instead of having it disappear in one gulp. Crunchy, thick, chicken jerky did the trick. I also had some red fabric behind him that I was hoping would show up in the photo, but I think I placed it too far from the TV... you can barely make it out.
I am so, so, SO very proud of Flint. He is extremely food obsessed, but he also has amazing self control. He's trained to the point where I can put food right up to his mouth, touching his mouth, and he won't try and get it until I tell him OK. Even though he was buried neck deep in popcorn and popcorn was being dropped all around him, he only tried to go for the popcorn once during the 30 minute shoot. Who's a good boy??? :)
Oh, and he really enjoyed this shoot even though I did not allow him to move (well, except for his mouth, haha). And how did I know he enjoyed it? Well, after I was done shooting, I took him out of the box and put him on floor so I could start cleaning up popcorn. Once he was on the ground, he was jumping up and down, pawing at my leg to PLEASE let him go back up there. Eventually, when I did put him back on the table, he tried to jump back into the box, haha. I guess after staying in there and being hand fed for half an hour, he realized that it was the easiest job on earth...just sit there quietly and food will be dished out to you nonstop!

Thanks to all who take the time to view, comment on and favor my images. It is very much appreciated.
I was fortunate to get some nice flight shots of my favorite sandpiper. Purple Sandpipers forage mostly on rocky ocean coasts, where they feed on invertebrates pulled from rocks and seaweed, or along shorelines among heaps of algae or seaweed.

Definitely not the only one with this concern in mind ! HMM !
I could also said : "How keeping self-control against adversity..." ;-)
Lies of the past. Camouflage. Unbreakable walls inside my mind. Self-control. Self-accusation. Self-defence. These birds with their shiny feathers and dainty wings... an ocean of feathers: set free. Release them all so I can finally move on, step out of this darkness, break the walls, open the window, give me your blessing and forget me. Set me free.

Here is a small control room, one of three inside an abandoned power plant I recently explored with Freaktography. This control was adjacent to one of the turbines & was in near total darkness which took some effort to get this shot! The second turbine also had an identical control & the main one overlooked the turbine hall.
The plant was built in the late 1940's when the during a time when the hunger for electricity was rapidly increasing. The original design consisted of two boilers providing steam to a single turbine unit. A few short years later two additional boilers were added to power a second turbine giving the plant a total output of 70MW. In the late 1980's there was talks of converting the plat from coal burning into garbage burning however with a 50 million dollar price tag, it didn't make it passed the planning stage. By 2000 area residents were complaining about the increasing emissions from the plant. The plant owners blamed the increased emissions on high levels of sulfur in the coal & a state inspector was sent out & determined that the emissions violated federal standards. Today the plant sits slowly decaying without a shred of hope of ever being powered back up again.
Exploring is the mission, not a competition!

After going for a root canal Friday and not being able to eat anything but pudding, oatmeal and other soft foods till Monday – I am craving gooey chocolate cupcakes – maybe with some caramel and nuts in them (ohh, turtle cupcakes) – WOW – drooling at the thought!
As you can tell – I am hungry and also a sugar addict so the thought of something like double chunk chocolate chip cookies – well, I would probably kill for them right about now!
Lis and I decided we would do this dippy in lieu of actually making and eating any of them – talk about self control – well, at least till I can chew again!!!

During the fall season, Yosemite Valley turns into an overload of eye candy everywhere you look. The hard part is maintaining self-control and not filling up the censer card the first few minutes of your visit. This scene was bathed in slightly diffused late afternoon direct sunlight.
