I take it you never experienced being at the point in your life you are self-medicating because of very bad mental pain that most people could never comprehend. I've been there, and trust me, the last thing on my mind was "I'm so cool and mature!", and I'm pretty sure that applies to many other people. I've OD'd, and…

There is. My mom owns a studio, and her focus is on having fun and giving the experience of dance to many students who cannot afford lessons elsewhere. She focuses on self-esteem, is understanding of situations and gives advice on healthy eating (but does not pressure anyone into feeling they need to be a certain…

She sounds like an amazing instructor. And, you are right, for every horror story out there, there are hundreds of instructors all over that treat their students with respect and are truly professional.

I'm so glad at my mom's dance studio, it's more about having fun than it is about perfection. I would never speak to her again if she spoke to her students and their parents like that. I've taken dance since I was 2, have performed on a nationally televised stage, and have never encountered an instructor like this.

Couldn't have said it any better myself.

Same here. Bursitis since I was 17 (and yes, in the spring, I will sit out on the porch predicting the weather depending on the changes in pressure), and just picked up my first pair of bifocals last week. I'm 30 going on 87. *Le sigh*.

No, no you aren't. Not sure about you, but mine's usually due to my seroquel-lamictal-vistaril and occasionally trazodone cocktail, so I'm not sure if that counts.

If they were showing this in Pittsburgh, I would be all over this. Brilliant idea, bravo!

The Palins are shining examples of an honest, modest, and virtuous family. I don't understand why anyone would dare question their morals.

Yet Levi was the one accused of being a famewhore.

Man, I loved that show. Every Saturday night, I would pop a blank tape into the good ol' VHS and record SNICK so I could relive the awesomeness on weekdays as well. "The Tale of Laughing in the Dark" had to be one of the best, along with "The Tale of the Lonely Ghost". *sigh* I feel so old...

Hell yeah! Got my 200mg 'mictal in the morning and 200mg at night. That shizz rox my box!

Very true, but hypergraphia occurs in mania as well. Catch me on a manic day on here, and hypergraphia is in full force. Hyperreligiousity can occur in psychotic episodes (which can occur in bipolar disorder) as well as an epileptic fit. It can be either, really, since both symptoms can occur in both.

I guess my jackassery doesn't come across well, especially the last sentence (though I do mean the "don't insult" comment, because I have a soft spot for schizophrenics and hate how the word is thrown around). He is obviously mentally ill. Though, I would wager more bipolar and writing that in a severe delusional…

Obviously, you've never met a schizophrenic. Most are highly intelligent, so please don't insult them by saying this guy is one. This man just suffers from a severe case of stupid caused by severe brainwashing from all the hate-mongers on FOX.

Scrambled cable porn was the best. There should be a channel that shows scrambled porn 24/7. It could be the Retro TV of porn.

Toxicology reports are more complex than testing BAC. BAC results can come back in a matter of hours.

Agreed. Unfortunate, yes, because nobody should ever have to die like that, regardless of poor decisions and circumstances. Tragic, no, because it could have been prevented with better decision-making. Being a victim of a drunk driver/ someone going at an unnecessary speed is also an example of tragic.

Agreed. Pure awesome. It also made me want to go bust out all my old Fear Street books from back in the day.

Fuck. Nobody should ever die like that. It doesn't matter if you like the person or not. Making stupid decisions still doesn't mean someone deserves it. That picture brings back memories of the friends I've lost to car accidents, especially one who was in a very tragic, fucked up fiery crash (which was on the national…
