This needs more stars.

I’d say that’s a good idea. Just keep in mind that anything about it that’s frustrating or irritating to you is even worse for him. Yelling/getting aggressive over it is not okay, and can only lead to resentment(not saying you have done or will do that, just speaking from experience).

I’ve got severe OCD myself, in much the same way this guy of your’s does. Every single moment of my life involves the constant realization that no one else sees/experiences the world the same way I do, and it’s disconcerting and very painful. I’ve experienced breakups specifically due to my mental health issues, and…

Meet people? Ha!

I’ve got some idea of what you’re experiencing. Some years ago, a friend of mine stole a gun and used it on himself. The past two months or so, I see him nightly, giving his trademark sarcastic comments on my life and what’s become of it without him.

Water. Nothing is more basic, or more necessary for life, and yet millions of people have to make do with limited or no access to clean sources. Wells, purification plants, and treatment centers could change the lives of the people who need the most help.

Well fuck. I’d love to offer words of encouragement or whatever, but I can’t really muster that right now. For whatever it’s worth to you, I’m having a shitty time of things myself. I just drank to solidarity. Commiseration is at least something, right?

I’m drinking a whole lot of rum, trying to forget some things. It’s not really working, though.

Had a pretty shitty day, I guess. I just couldn’t get away from some painful memories. It was about this time of year, a little over a decade ago, that a good friend of mine killed himself. I’ve been struggling a lot with issues related to that. What if I had called him? Could I have stopped him? Would he be alive…

“He’s in the top five, easily.”

I think we just get used to the insanity, since it’s constant. Nobody really gets a chance to sit back, take it all in, and realize how fucked up it is.

Yes, Sunday night is a good TV night, which is why everyone will be watching other things. Who (besides wonks, of course) would want to watch hours of political coverage just before the work week starts?

This is a very important point, and something Sanders would be wise to mention more. Small businesses, which everybody loves, would benefit immensely from single payer.

I never really got into Joan of Arcadia, but yeah, I’m right there with you on Ghost Whisperer.

If you watch the commentary on the DVD, they talk about plans they had for season 3, with Jaye being in an insane asylum. I wanted to see what led to that, and how she’d get out.

True, and that’s a lot of what I’m seeing as well. It’s the one reason I actually enjoy the crazy one-upmanship instead of fearing it.

How did this even happen!? I mean, they’ve been straight-up evil for decades, and they flirted with insanity a bit in the past (Palin, Bachmann, Cain, etc.), but this election cycle is mindbogglingly unbelievable. I mean that literally - I honestly would not believe this if I wasn’t witnessing it myself.

There are a lot of shows that get canceled and I say, “Well that’s too bad,” and go on with my life. Wonderfalls is one where I still, many years later, feel completely ripped off that there isn’t more.

And fewer apologies.
