Dang it, I was going to click the star but then I saw you had 666 of them and I couldn’t mess that up...

Hugs if you want them. My bro finally got his paranoid schizophrenia DX (only 30 years after I said, after taking Psych 100, “hey, his ideation is a bit off?”) and I completely agree. Now that he’s retired, on disability, and medicated, he knows when his brain weasels are leading him astray. These fuckers are…

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

Sympathies. My mom died of COPD in hospice six days before Christmas last year. (Man that isn’t English but the gist is there.) I actually went to the company holiday party four hours after she died - it beat sitting at home and feeling like shit.

Yup. Told my fiance two things before we got hitched in the vein of #jk #sorrynotsorry (it was 1988 so way before those were a thing):

Yup, at a Catholic hospital they won’t do anything about an ectopic pregnancy until the tube bursts. grrrr

Here in Washington state everybody votes by mail and they do a signature check. I found out the hard way when I forgot to sign the ballot envelope and my spouse tried to “help” by forging my signature on it, since it was the day of the election. My ballot got bounced and I had to file a new signature card with the…

Welcome to what my redneck dad called “the little soviet of Washington”. (Well, unless, like me, you live on the east side of the Cascades.)

If he passes the bar, he’ll have a built in clientele of sovereign citizens! Yay?

tangent: seeing Myxomatosis reply to UsagiBunny made me snicker. And I needed a snicker after reading this.

Also, I just looked, and Valley County, Montana, has a TOTAL population per the Census of 7,369. I don’t think they’ve got the resources for intensive community-based out-patient treatment for pedophilia (which we don’t even know this mook has).

I wouldn’t trust Charles with my dog (well, if I lived in the UK. And had a dog).

All the dudes I knew in high school who diminutive names (Bobby, Eddie, etc) all transitioned to their adult forms before graduation. (Though poor Bob’s parents still called him Bobby, because he’s a III and they had to differentiate him somehow.)

I know this is late; but whenever I’m getting a vax booster, I’m asked if I’m allergic to eggs or latex.

I majored in Criminal Justice* back in the paleolithic (okay, the 1980's) and the classes were about 2/3 jerks with power complexes and 1/3 folks who wanted to actually serve and protect. I’m pretty sure it’s the 2/3 who flourished in their careers...

Yup, I’ve been athy for... 25 years now? whoa, old... and I still slip up with the occasional “Holy Mary mother of god” when frustrated at idiocy, or my dad’s favorite, “Jesus WEPT” (with a tone of withering scorn).
