Oh, and you are right I don't know what you posted because you deleted it before nailing yourself to your cross...in response to a joke by HUNG LIKE JESUS. I've got no innocent act here. I saw something that struck me as funny. It still does. Have a nice day.

Could you two please take a step back and look at yourselves?

Do you see Shawnee as subhuman or something? I wasn't here either, I didn't see the posts and I'm not known for my empathy, but it's clear even to me that this was a point where she needed a little sympathy and little TLC.

Clearly HLJ had bad timing with whatever joke he was making, realized it and rescinded it, by which time our heroine had repaired the chink in her armor with a little bravado. It's not martyrdom, you fuckwits. It's an emotional survival technique that some of us use. If you had a human bone in your body, you'd realize that now was the time to leave well alone if you had nothing supportive to say. But no. I pity your wives and daughters.

Yup, she went a little postal. I woulda too. And now she's gone. She was a stone in the cellar foundations. you guys are just roofing shingles. Or pvc siding. or something. Or maybe that wooden trim that attracts carpenter bees.

So this is upsetting me today

and pass me that martyr crown because I actually came here to post about what was upsetting me, but now I don't care whether you express sympathy, concern or ridicule. Go ahead, have at it. Invite the chode to join the party. Taunt away without fear of my scary response. No I'm not leaving the cellar (dream on) but I'm all done with this for a while.

bitch on, bros.

It's all good.

Hopefully because she realizes she needs help and not just because her lawyer told her to.

Well, since I'm the one that made the comments I'll accept your reprimand. Do I see S123 as human? Absolutely. I see her as a human like we all are. I also see her give people shit all the time. I also see her play the martyr card about every hour on the hour. I thought the martyr move in response to a comment from a guy name Hung Like Jesus was fucking hilarious so I made a comment. No I don't regret it because I still think it was funny whether or not you or anyone else thought it was funny.

Welcome to the cellar.

I'm lost actually. There is a large missing subplot somewhere I just know it.

Not really. I called S123 for being a martyr once months ago. Today I thought it was funny and gave her shit for playing martyr again and it pissed her off. Apparently it pissed monster off as well.

I heard about that on the news, too.

.374 is not unusual for me to see at work, but way out of hand for a school bus driver, obviously, although I suspect this happens a lot more often than we know ... less often by drivers drinking on the job, but rather from them showing up still drunk from the night before. I hope she gets into treatment and sticks with it.

I fear there are more school bus drivers out there with the same problem. Too many of them drive like they own the fucking road. There was one recently that was using an unsafe bridge every day, that had been clearly posted for cars under 4,000 lbs, only.

Welcome to the cellar.
The difference is, I don't give people shit about their personal issues.

Every hour on the hour. Do you listen to yourself?
