No, you're not required to post "all possibilities."

'Former official wants limelight again. Will do anything'

That C. Everett Koop quote was way better than my rationalization. (If I kept it, it might get spent on booze and drugs anyway.)

Girl, hire someone. It's worth the money.

Not a new moral question, but I'm curious what you all think: how much should individuals help beggars?

I don't want to internet diagnose either (nor am I qualified to) but I have professional experience with folks with BPD and that's what struck me too.

ETA: My gut feeling, as a fellow crazy person, is that your sister MIGHT HERSELF be developing one of the many mental illnesses that show up in your mid/late 20s if this is a sudden change/escalation in behavior. Absolutely talk to her boss and your doctor.

>>She said that as I am a postgrad student and she is a doctor, my life is worthless and "all I have to show for living is a load of sick days." Part of me knows this is true.<<

I'm sure that she is making it up. She's done cruel things to people in the past (e.g. being banned from a class in high school for telling a teacher he was worthless and stupid - my parents said she must have been right and paid for a private tutor) so it wouldn't be out of character.

This is wrong on so many levels. I'll leave it to other commenters to point that out. What I want to say to you, as a nurse, please don't give up on finding a diagnosis. Don't let people tell you you're imaging things or just seeking attention. There are so many disease processes that we're only beginning to…

My deep cleaning advice: Wear gloves and use elbow grease! Use a generous squirt of Dawn dishsoap in a bucket of warm water. You should wash all hard surfaces in circular motions with old rags and toss the rags as they get soiled. Dump and re-fill your bucket frequently. Get a scrub brush with bristles for the tough…

Bleach, Windex, Tilex, Comet. Lots of scrubby sponges and toss them after a few uses, they wear down. Wear gloves and a mask. Sometimes you just have to go full on chemical. I've cleaned some pretty horrific places using only these products.

When you sit in those things for hours upon hours nice comfy fuzzy seats are worth their weight in gold.

I like this "whatever, I do what I want" Obama. He so clearly doesn't give a shit anymore, in the best of ways.

The F-4 Phantom. Americas proof to the world that with enough thrust, even a brick can fly.

But you know what he doesn't say? He doesn't say he's sorry, or that he now understands what he did was wrong. He doesn't even say he wishes this whole thing hadn't happened. He doesn't say these things because he is enjoying his "fame," and because he totally got away with it. He honestly thinks it's his right to…

Extreme Douchebaggery openly exposed.

Pfft, I am on the mother's side here.
