Dan, talk to someone. Contact the Crisis Line. Go to the ER. Hell, go to the ER and while you're waiting, log on to the site here, people are usually hanging out past midnight. Now is just the absolute wrong time to be alone. Dan, I know how bad MI can be, it can feel like you've been struck down. But you just…

Give the Governor a harumph!

"Job creator"

Have you ever listened/read the vast majority of the poetry of the mentally ill? I've spent whole lot of time in group and I can tell you that it's, it's just… "art".

John Ford, John Wayne, Jimmy Stewart and probably the first deconstructionist western made by the very men who created the archetype.

"Its not a dog, its a wolf."

They meant a "metric" hit.

That's not alcoholism, that's just having a few drinks to get to get rid of the stress so you can handle life.

Nobody thought it a good enough idea to write down how to make concrete. All the good stuff was a trade or mystical secret that not just anyone was going to be allowed to see. Think of it as a form of copyright.

Of course I don't approve of the content of the original post.

Take that white people!

And while I do not like what they have become, its clear they are quite scarred from the experience, if not altogether messed up in…

I've read interviews and even though know I he was headed towards weird town before, after 9/11, he (like so many other people for good or for ill) just totally changed his way of looking at things.

Making low level employees subject to random coaster inspections? I hope you were at least as classy about it as David Lee Roth was when your Lowlies only stacked six coasters.

How exactly do they know he died in "May 2014"?

I Googled it, the results go on for pages.

There's more of us than you might think.  We just don't tend to make the "news" shows, and other carnival style media.  Oh, and we generally aren't trying to separate old women from their money.  Think Jimmy Carter.  There simply is no interest in a "Down to Earth person tries his best to love and care for other…

"White"? Not up in this hood.

When she asks about my medications, should I hedge on the whole anti-psychotics thing?
