Oh my, hector's loyalties would be so torn on that one...

That's a cool shot. I'm rooting for the eagle.

Apparently they both taste like chicken.

Snake-wrapped eagle with a watercress dressing?

And, Ortho, if you still refuse to acknowledge that fact, well, you're just refusing to acknowledge facts.

That's where all this started. We said "cats scratch" you said 'no they don't. y'all got poor people's cats. rich people's cats are purebreds and don't scratch." Which is complete and utter bullshit.

Sorry you took my comments as 'rich vs poor', grav. I never said 'y'all got poor people's cats'; I shared my experience. I regret so much that I shared a pic of me with my cat when I was sick with chemo; I haven't shared any pics from chemo before. Not sure how that translated into your interpretation, or why Bruce saw it as fodder for more hostility, but it is what it is.

Never share, that's the lesson.

Be well, guys.

Why, we all know you've been there, done that, pictures make no difference.

Bwahahahahaha, you wussie. You ain't seen hostility from me, ask anyone what that looks like... it ain't pretty.

Matter of fact, I haven't seen you receive any hostility, other than a couple of snide potshots from northern climes.

I came here to learn, to engage in conversations with people I'd never otherwise have met. Didn't think that being a 'good sport' about taking shit in the eye was a prerequisite. Thought that was done with middle school. I was looking for adult conversation, not what you represent this place to be, stupid me.

I'm an Aspie. I don't always get the subtleties you and the others pride yourself on. You'll say you were just prodding/joshing/joking, or maybe you won't. I wouldn't know the difference, and it doesn't matter. Thanks for the experience, I think.

You know, you all know I'm no perfect person. I've whined, I've wept, I've cried and cringed and made a fool of myself over the past two years. I've been angsty, I've made myself vulnerable. People here have been kind and tolerant, for the most part. I appreciate that.

I'm moving forward, doing better, and I appreciate all the support that folks here have given. I'll be fine.

I have no idea what the fuck you're on about. Sounds like you posted the pictures to garner pity and are pissed because they didn't, at least from me. Like I said, we all know what you've been through and cheered you along. We've seen plenty of pictures of bald women wearing bandanas, why the fuck would yours be special to a bunch of people that have seen way too much of this shit?

Yes, stupid you, the world you describe doesn't really exist, they just pretend in polite company. Tea and sympathy? No, tea and treachery.

OMG, you acted like a normal human being, welcome to the club.

Of course you will, you're not going to fold because you got your ears pinned back for trying to be a cat know it all.

Oh, and another thing, I AM NOT the CELLAR. Nor do I play one on the internet.

glatt · 04-11-2014, 08:28 AM

Ortho, I hope you're feeling better this morning.

Was all this from a disagreement about cats? Cats?

As least get worked up about something important, like if vice grips are a hand tool.

And it's too bad you regret sharing something about yourself. I suppose it comes with age, but I don't regret anything I share about myself. If somebody doesn't like it, then screw them. That's their problem. My biggest concern, if you can even call it that, is sharing stuff that bores other people, but even then, I can't control what other people find interesting. I find it interesting and share it, and either others dig it, or they don't. It's up to them.

I don't know what I'm trying to say with this post other than it's all good. Keep on sharing.

DanaC · 04-11-2014, 08:37 AM

Don't take it to heart Ortho. I've no idea why they're ragging on you like this. But it ain't nothing really.

orthodoc · 04-11-2014, 09:08 AM

Thanks, glatt and Dana, I appreciate it.
No, it wasn't about cats, nor was I looking for sympathy. It was a big deal for me, maybe not for some but for me, to post a pic from when I was sick. If some interpret that as messed-up I can't help that, but that's my reality. But the whole thing was my fault; the only point I originally intended was that my experience was not theirs. I should have left it at that.

No, it was about your refusal to admit that cats (read that as cats, not any one kind of cat, breed of cat, adopted cat or purchased cat, purpose-bred cat, or naturally conceived cats, just cats) scratch and bite. Which they do.

That's what this has been about from your first comment on the subject.

And just so you know, 99.999999% of what I post has humor as the motivating factor.

Also, I think absolutely no more or less of you than I did before this cat-astrophic series of posts.

That don't mean you get a pass when you step in catshit, though.
