"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo
On the annoying platitude front I have a list:
God will never give you anything you can't handle.
I'm with ita on a big giant Fuck you. Ditto to the everything happens for a reason.
And on a personal note anything about how we're the right parents for a sick kid with cerebral palsy or that we must be so strong etc piss me OFF more than I can say. God knows I certainly didn't choose this and the person saying this won't ward off similar misfortune by saying they could never do this.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That's rotten, ita.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
The exception proves the rule.
I think this uses an older sense of "prove" as "test". An exception tests a rule - if it proves to be true, the rule is false. Like, finding one black swan tests the rule "all swans are white" and proves it false.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
They finally got me seen to. God freaking damn.
Being unwell is bad enough. Why does the establishment have to suck?

serial:

Except no one is using it that way. So it doesn't use that sense at all.

ita, I hope that things are resolved for you at least from a pharmacy perspective.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Zen, Snopes addresses and debunks that one (which had been my understanding, as well)

Thanks. For two weeks I am good. I hope not to be back moaning then.
