About As Ignorant As It Gets.

[stols001]

Um I use it as sympathy usually. In this case it was for both parties and OMG THE KIDS.

Despite all the things that have happened in my life, I am so glad my son is sane, and happy. Of course, with bipolar you either "get" (and substance abuse) that you can try your hardest and do the best you can, or you can screw up the lives of everyone you touch.

I don't know what gives that sort of person a "conscience" or a "soul" or whatever one might call it, but it is something that is there, or it isn't. I just knew there was stuff I HAD to do. I made mistakes and I suffered, A lot but you start with SOMETHING and your bedfellows and friends either nurture it...Or not.

But, I have to believe that at some point no matter how hazy, well, you get to decide. And probably more than once.

I will also note that the 60s were not particularly progressive when it came to BP or any other mental health treatment.

Depression is hard for the Bipolar person. Mania is ALSO hard for the bipolar person but the caregivers well, it's like, you NOTICE the symptoms more.

I believe I should like pull out the chapter on "The Day I Bought my Son a Ferret and post it." LOL, Mr. A was not happy that day, dude.

Yup, hospitalized shortly thereafter. When your husband says, "The day you bring a ferret into the house, I am leaving it," well, the solution is NOT to buy an Amish playhouse and think, "I am most certain I can talk him into figuring out the heating and cooling. ALL the sucky pets can live there! The worms in the terrarium! The parakeets! The Lizards! It can be like, a menagerie, a sort of stationary Noah's Ark of Sorts!" well, that's not sound reasoning. Your husband will not be pleased, especially when you EXPLAIN. And you're like "I"mma gonna need to like have you run electricity to it. It's getting COLD you know." Honestly though, no one in my life gets too fed up anymore. I am old and like, well, lithiated. But you have to find your way and if you are lucky, those who love you can help.

But really, many illnesses are like this. Just plain DREADFUL. I mean, I give me 50 bipolar folks over an autistic and a schizophrenic child." Etc.

Also I would love it if 50 or 90 or however many years from now, there were no stigma for ANY of this because it can be treated genetically. I don't consider my bipolar "adds" to my personality or anything like that. I consider it an illness that when left untreated usually SUBTRACTS considerably.

It is also not a demon not really like a GOAT. Like the goat (I have found a goat Stallion on Auction I really want to have delivered to this guy) or a loser (like this dude.) If we are lucky the goat stallion will castrate him and that particular gene pool would end.

Believe me as a bipolar person I am not about making excuses for not doing what you should. I am also not above having a TON of sympathy about the shoes I am going to guess if she was TRULY MANIC they were too much exactly like the holy grail (no lie) to NOT buy. That happened to me with a Mac along with the Amish house, it was too awesome to not purchase." So, I kind of "get" it. Mania is a lot like being on all the worst psychedelics combined, like.

The shoes should have been returned but that was not her job if she was insane, it was his. Although I do remember telling Mr. A to return everything but the ferret (who wound up at the ex's) but he was too much of a softy. I had just aborted our first and only child due to a really severe medication reaction I was not having a Fun Time. He probably wasn't either.

And I really just wanted my baby, but that was no longer on offer after the drugs I had to take to stave off a lethal allergic reaction which also made me a tad manic.

So, I just consider every young lady I work with to be my adoptive daughter, and treat her with love, no matter who she is and what she needs. It's a lot better than dwelling on the biological daughter I could NOT have. Life is what you make it, but I don't know who/why/when you make it/don't make it.

I ONLY KNOW ABOUT GOATS AND IF EVERYONE BOUGHT A GOAT and DELIVERED it to this guy, his homestead and all within would be eaten within minutes. The goats would find a way to put his head on a pike.

Probably just another tool for big tobacco...

No need to get conspiratorial about it. Let's just agree he's a tool...

Ladies and gents, I've been vaping for 6.5 years now.. and some weird things have happened to me. I was getting really healthy from quitting smoking, until one day I spontaneously combusted. Weird, right? That's just the tip of the iceberg. Actually, speaking of icebergs.. I metamorphosed into an iceberg, instantly learned and knew the answer to the universe (42) and transcended the planes of space, time, and reality. Wait.. that was the magical fungus, nvm.. The answer is 42, but what is the question? My lungs, heart, mind, and body have drastically improved over the last 6.5 years, but that has nothing to do with quitting cigarettes. Two words.. Ancient aliens

@barkfunklerbunk - Just watch out for those sorcerer scientists. They might start throwing those mathematical incantations at you.

One meme to rule them all. You don't need ANY other memes but this.

It's only TUESDAY? The trash truck is here.

I'm not saying my time loss is aliens.... It's HR.

The Al-Gebra Movement

At New York's Kennedy airport today, an individual, later discovered to be a public school teacher, was arrested trying to board a flight while in possession of a ruler, a protractor, a set square, and a calculator.

Attorney General John Ashcroft believes the man is a member of the notorious Al-Gebra movement. He is being charged with carrying weapons of math instruction.

Al-Gebra is a very fearsome cult, indeed. They desire average solutions by means and extremes, and sometimes go off on a tangent in a search of absolute value.

They consist of quite shadowy figures, with names like "x" and "y", and, although they are frequently referred to as "unknowns", we know they really belong to a common denominator and are part of the axis of medieval with coordinates in every country.

As the great Greek mathematician Isosceles used to say, there are 3 sides to every triangle, and if God had wanted us to have better weapons of math instruction, He would have given us more fingers and toes.

Therefore, I'm extremely grateful that our government has given us a sine that it is intent on protracting us from these math-dogs who are so willing to disintegrate us with calculus disregard.

These statistic scumbags love to inflict plane on every sphere of influence.

Under the circumferences, it's time we differentiated their root, made our point, and drew the line. These weapons of math instruction have the potential to decimate everything in their math on a scalene never before seen unless we become exponents of a Higher Power and begin to factor-in random facts of vertex.

As our Great Leader would say, "Read my ellipse."

Here is one principle he knows with certainty, they continue to multiply, their days are numbered and the hypotenuse will tighten around their necks.

There’s is a famous quote from someone somewhere “any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic”

There is a not totally irrational argument that the difference between a magician and a scientist is that the magician is merely a charlatan pretending to do magic. The “sorcerer” word specifically is iffy. It has a specific etymology and referred to people who tried to predict the future in specific ways in Ancient Rome. A tarot card reader or astrologer might qualify under that specific definition. Astrology is a rather famous pretend science. There was a time very very long ago before telescopes when it was considered real science though. It disappeared from real science as soon as it was proved to be bunk, much like the concept of the 4 humors or the autotoxin theory of disease, or homeopathy. Like homeopathy it still seems to hang about in dark corners though.

Amen, but I can admit that scientists and physicist are a .... load smarter then I am, and some people find their egos threatened by that. I cannot possibly keep up, but I will choose scientists every day over bs

 

[bombastinator]

All of you demon vapers aren't going to burn...

I would argue that figuring out who is and is not going to burn is not only not the job of humanity but not one a human being is even capable of doing.
I vaguely recall reading in the Bible once that Jesus specifically mentioned that human assumptions of what would cause one to be cast into the pit or not were often wrong and there would be some very surprised souls come judgement day.

.... and on the eighth day god created idiots.

According to the sect I was raised in that happened on the seventh day. On the eighth he watched them for his amusement. There is some argument that the whole of human history IS the eighth day, and it’s still going on.

-this is actually what they think btw. It’s standard catholic theory.

bah. Or is it the sixth day he created man and the seventh day he rested and watched? It’s a book I haven’t read in a while.

I thought all gods said you went to heaven.

Oh, wait. That was "All dogs go to heaven."

As a judger of (dog) souls ANYWAY, like, I so NO CHANCE. There are some not so nice dogs out there, and granted they may have had a hard life, but ME TOO. LOL my kid's dog has probably eaten at least ONE small child, possibly, but she had a hard life and now she is (mostly) nice. She's headed up there I think. Oh hell, dogs WHO KONWS.

I hope my son's first dog does nor testify against me. She kind of "broke me in" to dogs. Kinda,

Also, when I had my near death experience it sucked like I had to experience my actions through OTHER people's eyes and like, it was unpleasant. I think there was a really bad movie about that with a bald kid who could make people experience pain or whatever. He magically appeared and well, I think I saw this "film" as it were, AFTER the experience we also don't know much about time, so it might have affected my near death experience.

I will say, I got a darn sight nicer. Not NICE exactly. But nicer. You know, Just in case. I try my best. That is a lie. I sort of try my best a lot of the time. Etc.

Myself I’ve always considered the Disney corporation to be an even less likely judger of souls than the average random person.

So you’re saying I get to go to heaven like dogs? Not sure it works that way. I’m not sure how it works at all though.

Interesting post. I'm an astrologer. My pretend life is full of dark corners.

Well if this is the case Copernicus and A few others seemed to be of the opinion that you were a liar, an idiot, tragically misinformed, or some combination of them.

Copernicus said a lot of things though and not all of them turned out to be right. Most did, or at least a huge number of people have tried to prove them wrong and failed, which is as close as science can get to such things.

I try to not like think too hard and since I have my OWN version of my Creator, I made her sweetly forgiving but like she does have SOME rules and I'm like "Can I please have my punishments here on earth it sucks here anyway?"

Yes, there are times I will weigh whether I return a shopping cart to the shopping cart "area" like, depending on how my day is going.

I have been returning a lot of shopping carts of late. It's ANNOYING, but it is the "right" thing to do (in my eyes anyway I HATE stray shopping carts.

I would never steal one, unless I become homeless, in which case I refuse to care anymore about the afterlife. I will need all my energy to stay alive. Also, to not kill myself. Both things.
