Unlike its sibling passive anger, active anger is quite easy to diagnose, and in some ways, more easily treatable. The effects of an active anger problem are not well tolerated in most civilized societies. Unlike people with subtle passive anger problems, those with active anger management issues make it impossible for them to be ignored.
There are many different manifestations of an active anger management problem. However, they are all fairly easy to see even by someone not intimately familiar with the individual who has the problem.
The most easily diagnosed active anger symptoms, and possibly the most unsettling, include giving threats, bullying others, and showing signs of destructive behavior.
Individuals use threats to get what they want, or just to assert dominance. Threats do not necessarily need to have a reason to exist, but can be used simply as a way of intimidating another person into submission for the pure joy of the person who has anger management problems.

Well, how many parties can a body take? After last week, I’ve got one tonight, one tomorrow, possible four on Monday and an all day affair at a good bud’s on New Year’s Day itself.
S-o-o-o what shall we wear? Well tonight the party will be pretty wide open and I’m looking this morning for something racy, short as I can get away with and eye-popping!
So where do you want to go? Providence Place, right and Nordstrom’s first? Good, I’ve seen a gorgeous possibility in Winter Party Dresses. Why? Because it certainly fits the thigh test for a start! Look, it’s a Karta Tie Back Jeweled Tunic Dress. It’s got jeweled appliqués on the front of a swingy tunic while the low, squared back has an unusual tie. The sleeves are puffy and very cute. What do you think? At $290 it seems pretty good to me.
Let’s get going anyway and we’ll see what it looks like on and we probably will see something else anyway.
I’ll meet you for coffee at the usual place at 10.
See ya.
Love
Fiona
XOXO

It is very important to quote the engine number when ordering spares or making enquires about your engine. To identify your motor, click here or the box at the bottom of the page and search the lists for your I.D. letters, these are the first set of letters in the sequence. i.e. ‘AD’ That will give you the type of Seagull, (102 direct drive), the number in some early cases will give you a rough guide to the year. Note the numbers ran through several different models that were being built at the same time. After 1963 there was a letter and number at the end of the sequence to denote month and year A = January 3 = 1963. In 1973 the codes continued with double letters, i.e. AA 3= January 1973.
To add to the identification problems there are anomalies. For instance Seagull used the letter ‘R’ to denote a motor had been reconditioned, but there is no indication when the reconditioning might have been completed. (Just to add to the confusion they used ‘R’ on some very late models with the ill fated roller bearings). The letter ‘L’ was used to denote ‘longshaft’. In early years this was added to the end of the number code, later, from 1963 it was added to the prefix, i.e. FPL,= Forty Plus Longshaft. Watch out for the E for electronic ign, the G for Bing carb or the A for Amal, all prefixes!
Another problem is the inconsistency in the letter codes for the months. Seagull did not use some letters as they could be confused or were in use elsewhere, so there are no letter I’s, or O’s and it should be that December equates to ‘M’, however the letter ‘N’ has been found, so perhaps they lost another letter at some point? I do believe they did not use the letter ‘L’. Sadly when these pages were thrust into my hand, as I cleared the factory, there were no explanatory notes.
