Hi Tina...good to see...why are you whining. I'm whining too.
Greg you have a doubles whiner team to psychogicalize:To give a psychological exam, then lie about the results.
Sorry I didn't respond earlier, Greg. I need to tell shar my GD horror story working as a public servant, albiet(no idea, never used that word before. Wonder if I speled it write. Piple that cain't spel drive me nutes.)at a lower pay rate than she made. It is a nightmare and that is no joke. I've just about lost my mind.
Shar if you are reading this, give me a call. I have your #, I'll call you.

I can't tell either one of you to shut up. I mean after all, isn't talking about what's bothering us part of what helps to keep us healthy? IMHO, of course...

Don't want anyone to miss this joke.
Greg, when you said talking is good, an intelligent thought passed through my mind, first in 7 years.
We should get about 15 people to tell their stories of their experience with the most vile little disease in the world. No, not Herpes, depression / bipolar, etc.
Put it into book form, jazz it up some, then 15 people could do a bus tour promoting the book. I envision the bus painted with all the psychotropic meds. On the back, we probably pay homage to Prozac, big capsule.
And we will name the book,_____________________?
We would have to identify the 15 most compelling stories here and hide this from Dr. Bob cause he'll bust us for copyright stuff. So, nobody tell him, okay? Cool. Joke:I was walking across a bridge one day, and I saw a man standing on the edge,
about to jump off. So I ran over and said, "Stop! Don't do it!""Why shouldn't I?" he said.
I said, "Well, there's so much to live for!"
He said, "Like what?"
I said, "Well...are you religious or atheist?"
He said, "Religious."
I said, "Me too! Are you Christian or Buddhist?"
He said, "Christian."
I said, "Me too! Are you Catholic or Protestant?"
He said, "Protestant."
I said, "Me too! Are you Episcopalian or Baptist?"
He said, "Baptist!"
I said, "Wow! Me too! Are you Baptist Church of God or Baptist Church of the
Lord?"He said, "Baptist Church of God!"
I said, "Me too! Are you original Baptist Church of God, or are you Reformed
Baptist Church of God?"He said, "Reformed Baptist Church of God!"
I said, "Me too! Are you Reformed Baptist Church of God, reformation of 1879,
or Reformed Baptist Church of God, reformation of 1915?"He said, "Reformed Baptist Church of God, reformation of 1915!"
I said, "Die, heretic scum!" and pushed him off.

> GregI need to be told to shut up. I really do. I've got anger, hurt, and a total overwhelming urge to throw a tantrum. Everything is just so stupid and childish and impossible to just 'deal with'
Why should "I" have to deal with something that wasn't MY choice in the first place. Sure, HE can go away to europe just to disappear from the situation but dammit......HE caused the situation!! I can't get away from it. I have to look it in the eye day after day without the luxury of running away to europe. It's just totally unfair and I want to scream some nasty words @##$$%^&*&*&^%%$##^&*&^#@#$^&^% and I don't want to be civil dammit!!!!

Phil,
How can you say you are disjointed? I enjoyed the joke just as much the second time as I did the first. Of course, I suspected what the punchline would be. I thought it was very funny.The book idea is great. Do you think we should include not only the biochemical aspects of our minds that take us on trips through Lumptonia and the lands of Hypomania whether we want to go or not, OR should we also include our family background horror stories in which the bogs and muck and pain that many children get to learn about outside the home, existed inside our homes? And wormed their ways into our hearts, minds and souls? Just wondering. We certainly have a rich resource.
I won't tell anyone about the book idea, but one way around copyright problems would be to invite people to send their stories to an email addy off this board. Then we wouldn't have to take any info from the board itself. Hey, hey?
I'm sorry the state is now winnowing its way through your brain. That is very unfair. You are very nice, and ...50!!!!! I didn't know you were that old??? Wowee, you seem like such a kid. 8->
I'm still older, tho. I remember 50 being a little traumatic number-wise, and a greater awareness of being called "ma'am" but other than that, it went ok. Since we don't exercise anyway, we won't notice any particular deterioration except eyesight, hearing (did you know I have an ear horn, now?), etc.
It's great to see you back here. I interviewed for a state job last Friday. I think they were underwhelmed.

OK, so if what you need to do is scream, cuss, get real goddamn mad, and kick a little, then do it. You're entitled. I'd get mad over something like this too if it were me. But that's me. As long as it doesn't lead to you hurting yourself, then I say venting a little anger is healthy.
I'll remind you of two things though. You can't control his side of this situation no matter how hard you try, and the harder you try to control another human beings actions, the more frustrated and unhappy you're going to be.
I'm not saying let it go, I'm just saying let it be. Your time will come.
Have fun on Friday, I'm looking forward to hearing all about it :)
Much love to you,
Greg

Sounds like a great plan! It is kind of a la the "Merry Pranksters" of Ken Kesey, but instead of LSD, we will be pushing prozac, lithium, abilify, etc.!
Anyone got a drum or a synthesizer?

How about timed ranting? Get an egg timer, turn it over, and rant at top volume until the sand runs out.
I never tried it but it seemed like a good idea at the time.

I hate it when I get intelligent thoughts. Then people expect them all the time...
The book tour is an excellent idea, and if you let me drive we can get there REALLY fast. The book name, hmmm, "LSD vs. Prozac, from the sixties to the new millenium at hyperspeed".
They want me to work, God, I hate this job...

It's a start, but it rings too academic. But I think we can use all those words--Yeah--that words themselves are great--we just need to, like, throw 'em all into a hat, shake it up and come up with something a la Tom Wolfe.(Wolff?)
