Seeing anyone with a red hat makes me super cautious.
I have a pile of Washington Nationals hats I can never wear again because of this.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Cincinnati Reds fan over here. (Their baseball hats do come in colors other than all red -- like, red brim but black cap -- but I really like the all-red version, dang it.)

We will have to reclaim some day. Join forces with the Red Hat Ladies, perhaps.

Wow.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Well, if that isn't just about the best thing ever I don't know what is!

Thrive to spite them
That is cool!
Ok soo I was trying to write a post, went to go get something I wanted to reference and came back and I was confused because the post was gone and there was lots of posts about TP shortage...I had ended up in the previous thread...I dunno.
Visited Mom she didn't bring back a lot of stuff, she wasn't feeling great when she was getting ready to leave so she just brought some stuff. Including my beloved Big Red , my teddy bear, I thought I had lost about 25ish years ago but somehow was in mom's attic? I dunno but he is home.
And she had these school papers of mine and results of testing from when I was 9 and about 14. There's lots of phrases in there about difficulty paying attention in school and problems with breaking down tasks etc and how this could be an long term issue if not addressed. Which it really wasn't. There's more stuff like that, from what the paperwork says I didn't score in the range of having a learning disability but Mom says that someone later looked at the reports and said the psychologist who did the testing scored some things wrong and I did fall in the range of having one. I mean the report says even if I didn't have one I'd still need help with things etc.
But on the last page is this: Her long history of medical involvement very likely has contributed to a sense of herself as being "broken" or in some way not complete and whole and perfect. Add this to her problems in academic achievement and it would be easy to see who she would feel very incompetent and inferior regardless of what her real talents and ablilities were." And then it goes on to some recommendations esp that I need help learning how to master my stressors and in general recommending therapy.
I did start therapy and I don't remember much about it now but I don't really remember a lot being taught to me about how to handle stressors. Not like I have been taught now, but this was also from 1982 so you know, the world is different.
I've started seeing my therapist again and I am definitely going to go over a lot of this with him. At this point it's a lot of -- it's right there in black and white what was going on but they missed.
Oh Wait! And in the assessment when I was 14 there is a recommendation to start Cylert which is for ADHD but no where is there the words Attention Deficit used and there isn't any recommendations for further assessment or anything like that. I don't even remember taking this and I bet if I asked Mom she wouldn't remember either . This was from a children's clinic and I don't know if maybe my regular dr talked Mom out of it or maybe my therapist at the time or what. But man, my whole life there is stuff written down that is pointing out to a lot of my issues with sort of an attempt to help but not really.
