I am mostly tired. After the workday is over, then I'll be bored. :-(
here's an idea... Let's play Twister! I'll spin first.... Right Foot Red!

I'm home waiting for the d**m doctor not to call, annoying my cat and interfering with her ability to lie peacefully in the sun with my over handling.

Me, the exciting me, I am waiting for my prescription to be delivered, listening to my dad listen to curling.. it never ends, and they YELL
on curling. I thought maybe I'd enjoy a nice cup of coffee. And I'm wondering what other people do during the day.
Kara lynn I related completely to what you said about being dependent on Dr's.
I was in a bad mood one day and one of my well off e-buddies, thought I was just whining.
I tried to explain how absolutely infuriating and humiliating it is to have to rely on the whims of a Dr, in my case the gov't also for my monthly check, the pharmacy on whether or not they will allow my prescriptions to be filled.. (long story that one) And knowing that if you speak your mind
they don't care one bit, it wouldn't make a dent.Thats the time I start taking out on myself too.

That's exactly what it's like. I called for the last time about 20 minutes ago. I told the secretary I must have called 15 times by now. It's totally humiliating and you're right, they don't give a sh*t. I thought my doctor was different, but...
What is curling?

Ah You lucky woman not knowing what curling is.
Its a game, which is noisy, and its played on ice.
It involves a "broom" which team players use to
push (sweep) the "rock" down the ice to a place they want the rock to be.Sort of like golf and bowling spliced.
They yell though. Its not like cheering, it sounds like someone is fighting in the next room
I can't quite describe it.Is your ex, or your 'sort of ex' let you talk about how frustrating and humiliating it is having to being dependant on the whim of the powers that be?
I had a friend I used to talk about it to, but he was so well off financially (and dammit it does make a difference) he thought I was making it up.
That made it so much worse having a whole day or week wasted for something that is your right, and then to not be believed that it could be "that bad" was just ARARRgggngj
I can't even describe the impotent anger. I did start abusing myself
which is something I do so rarely
You know, obviously Its not something I'd do.
But I can almost understand how someone could get pushed so far that they snap, and end up shooting someone. If they were more off balance, and had been dealing with it since day one..

God, that sounds...er...hair curling!! It would drive me crazy (crazier). My sort of boyfriend (he's showing a renewed interest in making things work this week) is oblivious to a lot of what goes on with me. He's supportive in a general kind of way, which I think works out better sometimes. Because if I get specific and he doesn't understand I get frustrated. He's also consumed with possible bankruptcy right now, so there's not much room for anything else. But last year when I could barely get out bed in the morning, but I'd have a couple of good hours or something he'd say, "you're not depressed. You seem ok right now". He just really doesn't understand depression, the kind I have anyway, and I think it's better if I don't try and make him. And god, remind me not to talk to my mother again anytime soon. we just got in an argument over whether or not she could rsvp for me to relatives I haven't talked to in 20years but she talks to often, about I party I would almost rather kill myself for rather than attend. she just doesn't understand why she "has" to rsvp for me, and thinks it will look really strange. Well she doesn't "have" to, it would just be nice for me if she did. After a few minutes of talking to her I feel bad for having any feeling (like that I would be really uncomfortable talking to these people), for asking her to do it for me, for existing. She's never understood the concept of doing anything for anyone, or having any protective feelings for her young. I said, oh gee, there's my other phone... and I don't even have one.

OMG. We used to watch curling on Sunday’s while at work during school. We thought it was totally silly and almost verging on a myth (do they really think American's will believe this sport exists???). But one day, flipping channels we realized that the American pastime sport of baseball is almost as silly.
When I met my first of three, long story too, Canadian girlfriends--one of which actually became my fiancé until it seemed there was no thought of my well being and stuff...sure hun, just pack and live in nova Scotia. I realized that curling was actually some people’s idea of a great date. I have been suspicious ever since.
No offence gab, most of Canada is so pretty and the people kind esp. in the east, but the activities your citizens seem to engage in are almost ludicrous (e.g. curling). And is drinking tons of beer fighting and a one-night stand really the Canadian theme for men.
Funny too, is the fact that I could not get 2mg xanax there. The largest dose I could find was for one mg pills, but than I had the joy of experiencing Canadian health care. Wow, I feel for you all as you wait for referrals for months on end. Luckily my ex had a friend who's mom is more neurotic than I and had enough to get me back to the states "where it's sane"...lolsmiles,

I have been holing my tongue all this time because after you went and gabbix all I could think of is ending up twisted somewhere in the middle and toppling all players. Hmmm, that could be awkward.
You can relax for a bit. Maybe we can get a piñata....

That's ok, I'll gladly take responsibility for anything I shouldn't . You guys must be getting tired in those poses; can we start curling now instead?

Falling in a pile of twisted limbs is the whole point of Twister, sweetie. Pinata idea is good too. How bout a pinata shaped like a giant purple brain, full of assorted benzos and stimulants?
