I didn't say shit about your personal issues. I gave you shit for your response to HLJ. Yesterday. If memory serves I have only given you shit one other time which was months ago.

Every hour on the hour. Do you listen to yourself?
Are you saying you don't give people shit for their personal issues. [period?]

....or just that you don't do it every hour on the hour?

yes, and thank you for doing it. I want you to know that I appreciate what you do for us. Take yourself out to lunch today as a reward. And have dessert too.

Monster, I'm going to assume that your post is based on real life irritations, not the drama in this thread. If I'm wrong and it is the thread, then you have my sincere apologies for upsetting you.

Now back on topic. After being declared free and clear of my skin cancer for 4 whole months... I have 2 new spots. The upside is they are matching spots on each forearm so I'll have some cool new scars there.

hehe no it was the real life assholes. I just had hashbrowns and bacon to cheer myself up but I put too much oil in the pan so the hash brown were greasy. There's a cake in the oven because my friends are coming over for lunch (that was a very late breakfast) ....in one hour and my house is for shit.....

I don't think she has a lawyer, and it wouldn't surprise me if she throws herself on the court. She had a medical procedure a couple of years ago, which has since been linked to an increased risk of alcoholism. She has tried programs through her church, and AA, but those didn't work, and she's fought in-patient rehab (ironically because she thought she'd lose her job). She's inconsolable with herself.

I hope she gets into treatment and sticks with it.
I hope so, too. Ever heard of Mira(something) rehab?

Scenario 1: Person A thrashes person B and person B defends themselves.

This is not person B acting a martyr.

Scenario 2: Person B later references scenario 1 in humorous manner.

This is not person B acting a martyr.

Just sayin'.

Person A? Person B? Thrashes?

Why is it so hard to actually SAY wtf you're talking about? Do you think you're being polite or something?

maybe my perception is colored by our (spex and I) prior interactions, but I took that as him sticking up for Shawnee and being snarky. The whole 'taking sides' things.... meh.

Here, let me just liven up this thread with something new I'm upset about!

I'm just fucking despondent, y'all. My good friend's daughter has just started down the road to being autistic, but my friend doesn't understand or believe it yet.

Of course, this kid has had vicious allergy and immune issues from day one. After watching--watching, firsthand, we see them every week--what happened to my daughter, they decided to stop vaccinating theirs. Except then they started couching it in terms of only the MMR. And then only because the MMR is formulated with egg, and their daughter is already known to be severely allergic to egg. Now, this morning they come over to play, and she tells me that at her daughter's 18-month checkup they went ahead and gave her all the shots she was due (and overdue) for except the MMR. 4 shots total in one day.

Her daughter violently screamed, nonstop, for the rest of the day. The next morning, her legs hurt so badly she refused to walk on them, she just stood in one place and cried all day. After that the crying finally cleared up, but every single night since then (going on 2 weeks now) she has told her mother that her tummy hurts. No loss of speech yet... but last night she was strangely smacking herself in the face for no reason.

And yet, I'm sitting there on my couch verging on tears as she's telling me this, and she's just pleasantly detailing how she was really worried when at first her daughter wouldn't stop screaming, but now she feels like everything's all better. Oh, and she's excited because they've found an allergist who can compound the MMR shot without egg, so she can hopefully go ahead and get that one very soon. I encouraged her as strongly as I could to treat the tummy pain just in and of itself as tummy pain, and told her where to buy some very strong probiotics. But I don't think she's going to.

In six months, her daughter will officially receive a diagnosis. Mark my fucking words. Goddammit.

The worst part is, I know firsthand that part of her grieving process is going to be avoiding the shit out of me, because she'll know that I told her and she didn't listen. She'll come around eventually and accept things just like I did, but during that time she's not going to let me be there for her, it'll have to be someone else.
