I freely tell people I was diagnosed with PTSD. Let them work out their issues for what that means, I'll be over here being awesome and shit, F them.
You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

Ann, that's a ferret.
I would dispute the word "last." Because there are, no doubt, civil rights issues that we haven't even considered yet. But mental illness generally has a stigma.
I'm trying to be more open. But to most people, I leave early on Tuesdays for "a doctor's appointment." And they can figure out on their own what's going on that I see a doctor each week.

I wish my Spanish were better: Telemundo has exceptional programming on during the day. I would love to better understand what is going on.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Is that breed OK for a white person to say?????
I think it should be called MANDINGO the Redbone Coonhound. That would be more fun. And the owner should be a black person, who gets that "Uhuh, go on..." look every time a non-black person has to say its name.
I spent a lot of time trying to clear the way for my mother to be "allowed" to be depressed (should it happen, and it didn't, which is great) when she was first diagnosed with cancer. My parents know I've been on anti-Ds, but I don't think they'd thought about it much.
We tend to have dramatic and explosive mental issues in my family. Needing to adjust my chemistry to face the day wasn't something they felt comfortable putting in the same bucket.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-
Gavin de Becker would say all famous people have somebody like that. Like it's more like "Which one?" But I'm sorry she's scared and hope she has someone like de Becker on her side.(and not only because he's practically a Larry Stu and incredible gun-control advocate)

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Do I continue to wait for Fedex to deliver the "surprise" Valentine's Day present from DH, or do I go home and hope it wasn't perishable and that I'll get it tomorrow?

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Heading to Boston for Boskone tomorrow.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
I grew up in the boonies, and a good coonhound was a sign of a "wealthy" man. And they ARE pricey. And were often treated better than many neighbors' wife and/or kids.
And used for...raccoon hunting. So I don't even hear the racial slur in there; I grew up on coon chili. Again, made from raccoon.

Trust my rage
Jessica, how sad will he be that you didn't wait? Personally, I hate waiting and would be much happier the next day.
