The Frontal Lobes are considered our emotional control center and home to our personality. There is no other part of the brain where lesions can cause such a wide variety of symptoms (Kolb & Wishaw, 1990). The frontal lobes are involved in motor function, problem solving, spontaneity, memory, language, initiation, judgement, impulse control, and social and sexual behavior. The frontal lobes are extremely vulnerable to injury due to their location at the front of the cranium, proximity to the sphenoid wing and their large size. MRI studies have shown that the frontal area is the most common region of injury following mild to moderate traumatic brain injury (Levin et al., 1987).
I give you a medical condition and with it the terminology of the condition. Somewhere along my life's path my Frontal Lobe must have gotten damaged. It has been brought to my attention many times from someone in my family (no names to protect the innocent) that I don't think before I type (or say).
So I blame my damaged Frontal Lobe. It is proven that when it is damaged ( and I have hit my head a time or two)(might even been dropped on it) you don't think before you begin to talk. Yes, blog friends a swear word has been know to fall out of these lips, yes I am somewhat rebellious at times, yes I am a little sassy at times, yes I am a stinker at times, yes I speed at times, yes I get irritated at the crazy driver, yes I am intolerant of stupidness (my new word). I AM NOT PERFECT nor have I ever claimed to be. I am what I am.
I am afraid what you see is what you get. I read my scripture, I tell my girls to love thy neighbor and to serve them at any given opportunity, I try to be a good decent human being, a peacemaker, a good mom, wife, all around Christ like christian. I use the saying: Who am I to sit in Judgement of others when I myself am so imperfect. I am flawed. But I love life, I love who I am and I love my imperfect self. So a plead goes out to you, if at anytime I have offended any of you with my damaged FRONTAL LOBE malfunction, please forgive me. I don't mean to be a harsh old broad it just slips from my mouth. Come to me and I will work on my defective being.

Offended me?!? HARDLY! Your damaged frontal lobe is one of the things I love most about you! (It takes a DFL to know a DFL.)
You're great just as you are!
LOL!!! So Robbin, people tell me all the time that not being easily offended is one of my Spiritual gifts. I just smile and nod, because the truth of the matter is I just care enough about what they think to be offended. I'm gonna do what I want and if people don't like it, they can stay the HELL out my way!
That was supposed to say "don't" care enough. Sort of ruined my thunderous rampage didn't it.
Thats why I love my sista's from a nadda mister. I don't get offended easily as well, sometimes I'm too dense to know when someone gave me a "burn" actually I really just turn the other check because I am so "christ like". OKAY STOP LAUGHING!!! AND ROLLING YOUR EYES.
I love ya too Robbin. Frontal lobe damage and all.
