That man has a giant cock!

Your argument is invalid!

I think not. Or why would he spend his nights trolling left-wing Facebook pages?

To explain the meme your argument is invalid.

I got it...it was funny. I'm just saying. Perhaps a quieter hobby like catch& release fishing, or stamp collecting.

hate talking to them, too. They are like the DMV, without the charm. That is reason 1,000,000 why I hate the right-wing meme that you get on benefits and a truck of cash pulls up to your house, and Mommy Government makes all the boo-boos go away. Believe me, one way or another, we pay for it. if I tear down my Facebook in a fit of rage one day, it's not because of anyone here...just one more "mansplanation" too many and I will have a CellBlockTango moment. like they are expecting me to say "Dear me...you have a penis. In that case, my whole life is a lie."

Well, I'm essentially done with them since I no longer qualify as of next month.

Well, that's fucked too, in its own way. I mean, you have a good man, but what if he was like "I'm your government, now." And then there are studies "Why don't women with disabilities report partner violence?" Duh. I guess you wouldn't ask me to give the toast, now, huh?

The Department of Work and Pensions over here is just as impossible to deal with. I've frequently lost the plot with them (fortunately The Girl is usually there to rescue me and tell them to stop giving me a hard time). I'm hearing a lot of stories from claimants about the hell that they live, now that we're campaigning against massive cut-backs to the welfare state, and they're mostly just making me cry.

I did get back to sleep, thank you. I will try some of those remedies tonight!

Lord, I tell you what, I am feeling my racial and economic privilege all day every day. One trainee is effectively homeless right now, and may have to move to Charlotte to live with his son's mother. We've got two with ADHD, and one with bipolar, all currently unmedicated and lacking appropriate skills. One has a tooth infection. Two need their wisdom teeth out. Two are working 2nd jobs. All but one have one or two children under the age of four. None are married. Three are on probation or parole, and have court dates and parole meetings and NA meetings to juggle. I'm trying to leverage all of my contacts and skills to help them while maintaining boundaries. As my therapist put it, I'm not teaching framing, I'm running group therapy all day every day, mostly by myself. They've actually come a long way already. I just hope they all make it through.

Cereal: I should mention that I'm having a great time and loving the new job.

I'm so glad for you, smonster. I am so excited for this work you're doing. It's completely important and largely unavailable. I am so proud of you for making the leap and doing it.
