Jayne: Yeah, that was some pretty risky sittin' you did there. Wash: That's right, of course, 'cause they wouldn't arrest me if we got boarded, I'm just the pilot. I can always say I was flying the ship by accident.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Was she a crazyass nutjob lying sack of shit?
Yes. Likely, she was mentally ill, which I also stated. Beverly suggested putting a note at the end about her death just a few weeks before I completed the essay, which I did, and ended it by saying that I hope her troubled mind is at peace.
I think that was the best way to go about it.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
That seems very kind actually. While still being honest in the essay. Being dead now doesn't make what she did any less heinous.

Would you take it?
Interesting. With enough testing? Yeah, I think I would, if it really does what it says. There's the problem that they're intending it for traumas which would result in PTSD, and it's not entirely clear which ones those are, but memories that get etched so strongly that they cause insurmountable fear or flashbacks can cause serious, disabling damage. So, yeah. You know, if the pharmaceutical world were perfect and I could trust that it would actually do exactly and only what they say. Hah!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
People who've had PTSD are likely to develop it again, right? It would seem like a good idea there.

Your tag here.
I just got back from a first date with a very lovely woman. It's been a year since I've been out with somebody. I'd forgotten how nice it is to care about somebody and be cared about. She wants to see me again. I sure hope this works out.
Edit: I'd be remiss if I didn't point out the porn value of this post number.

What is even happening?
I just finished writing as essay called Munchasen's by Internet, about a woman who scammed The Bronze into believing she had a dying child, before we did some sleuthing and found out that nothing she ever said was true.
I just googled her real name, and discovered an obituary. She died about six weeks ago. Man. I was just writing some cruel shit about this woman.
Oh, crap. I feel sorry for her; I always have, but I also felt sorry for all the Bronzers she took in, and for the Bronze itself, because she kind of sullied it, but right now, I feel sorry for you, Allyson.
Yes. Likely, she was mentally ill, which I also stated. Beverly suggested putting a note at the end about her death just a few weeks before I completed the essay, which I did, and ended it by saying that I hope her troubled mind is at peace.

I stayed awake until 3:30 last night to sober up, thinking I'd sleep all morning. I couldn't stay in bed past 8:30. This is unfair.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Sounds like a good way to handle it Allyson.
Sue, that sucks.
I have less than an hour to get ready and leave my house and I am completely unmotivated. Also it is wicked windy outside, I am at a loss at what to wear to deal with the cold windy.
