Now tagless for your comfort.

I've seen our pastor in action, when parishioners have had severe mental health crises. And when my anxiety was bad, my pastor's wife was the first person to give me the, "Why don't get get some medication, asshat," talk

I've seen firsthand some really, really good support come from people's churches. Not the Craxy!Religious folks--just regular, run-of-the-mill, middle-of-the-road religious people (of different persuasions). Having floundered without support, I'd take it where I can find it.

In the case of the lady with the tumor, I think the jurors were able to gronk a tumor but not mental illness--which upsets me. Schizophrenia has medical causes and medical treatments and yet still gets treated like some sort of act. If anyone ever met someone with schizophrenia, they'd know you can't fake it. Doctors know, anyway.

I'm still amazed at the back handspring. I couldn't do that when I was 12, let alone now. Yikes! That's impressive.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I gotta ask...

Am I the only one who reads the thread title as Natter 45: Smoove as Billytea (Lastname)?

Just me?

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

No, I read it like Smoov all the time.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

It's totally smoove. In fact, I'm continually disappointed by the lack of creamed corn.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Ugh, I have random hives. What the hell?

Get thee to Aveeno. Con Benadryl.

Oh, damn. I meant to fold my laundry while I was despairing of myself to BFF on the phone.

Can't imagine how that slipped my mind.

Maybe tomorrow. Along with the grocery shopping and the pickup from the pharmacy.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Ugh, I have random hives. What the hell?

Apparently, I have random smoove.

I never said it was random. Just the smoooove.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I have to be in a restaurant in Cupertino at 7:30 tomorrow morning (to meet G&J before J goes off to medical school). Why aren't I asleep yet, or even remotely tired?

bon bon, are the hives from the hot? I'm just curious.
