but, i can be a sloppy kissser (or is it drunk? i never can remember. aren't they the same thing anyway?)
what are your weekend plans? do they involve liquor? (please say yes. please say yes. please say yes.) i have a feeling mine are going to.
jai, sweet woman, just what do you do for anxiety? like the kind that not only makes you wnat to break your own arm, but others' as well? any tips? (if you say read a magazine, i may be tempted to break your arm darling!)
we have about 5,324 bird houses off our back deck. and i fill them often enough to make the birds fight for food (oh, i'm mean, go ahead and say it). but what a show these birds put on. i see what you get out of the birds. they have a whoel lot of fight in them. especially the small one, they tend to be scrappy and can run fast too! but, most times i get too distracted with workign in the garden i miss the show entirely. (story of my life, eh? bend over to scratch my butt and miss the shooting star...)
maybe i'll feed the birds this weekend and watch them fight. i think you've inspired me dear. a cruel sort of inspiration, but inspiration no less. and those birds sure will be happy.
tkae care of yourself. and i hope you're havign lovely weather. it's rainy here (still! whatever did i do wrong to deserve this weather? it's been horrible for what seems like forever and it's just killing my mood) but spring is coming soon.
holding out for the bird poop on my car (which i have had some already, but not at my house) and that smell of spring again,

(in matters of the heart, dearest, darling Larry.) I always think of things that matter most when I feel the least or something sort of similar sometimes.
(do you know what I mean? I always think of you on a cloudy day, when the sun is shining and my fenders are dull. Follow me?)
But anyways. It is unkind to talk sensibly in a non-sensible context on Wedsdays and Saturdays.
So, please. Go On. Tell me all about your glorious baptism and how lovely the angels sound with the brass band playing so loudly in the rear. (It's a beautiful story, and besides, you bad, bad, boy, you never talk to me any more! My morning tea is so bitter without your honeyed-tongue lapping at the rim.)
Hosta my minchies. See you on the flip side.
Kiss, Kiss.

there's a country radio station around these parts called wkkg. we alugh every time my sister listens to it and the call letters come on. it had to have been named after me, even though it's been around, long before i was ever thoguht of, even my maiden name.
about the klonopin (clonazapan, as mr kkog pointed out when i wrote my ode. i thought about rewriting it, but this is as far a i got...
clonazapan, clanazapan
i can smash a beer bottle
in my hand
if you haven't had one
you wouldn't understand
yeah, that's about as far as i got then figured, if i can't even say the word without hesitation, tehn i'll stick with the first word on the prescription bottle, right?i'm sorry you're anxious. it's going around. perhaps a poem will brighten yoru day? and happily send you upon your way?
roses are red
but they can be yellow
kk is mean
but she can be mellow
things will get better
or things will get worse
but things will be changing
perhaps it's a curse
life's about living
or maybe about dying
but i'm gonna say
i'll be getting high (ing)hey, it rhymes?
and about them nerve pills. i guess i could spare a few. but i know better. you're a hoarder and probably have three in yoru pocket.
have the best day ever,

I loved your poem : )
I think I remember Nikki saying something like this about anxiety "Well, if I take enough Benzos I can sleep through it"
That's about the only cure I've found too.
I hate it when "professionals" confuse anxiety with nervous anticipation. They say things like "think about what you're anxious about and what the likely outcome will be" or whatever
And it's NOT about one thing, that would be normal. It's a relief to me when there's something actually anxiety provoking going on because it makes sense, when it makes no sense it's horrifying.

You have all the qualities necessary to be a televangelist or a politician.
Interesting that you would speak of manipulation.
When people dared disagree with you on A.l.T Med
you posted under another name that "Larry Hoover was dying, and he is the "bravest man I know"
This deflected the situation for a while.And, this I've noticed seems to be a theme surrounding you, when a woman at same board asked you repeatedly to not post to her, and finally placed a "killfile" on your posts, you borrowed another name in order to continue your arguments.
On Babble I've noticed you simply "forget" that there have been do not post requests made to you by women.

Please don't post anything that could lead others to feel accused or jump to conclusions about others. If you or others have questions about this or about posting policies in general, or are interested in alternative ways of expressing yourself, please first see the FAQ:
http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/faq.html#civil
http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/faq.html#enforceFollow-ups regarding these issues should be directed to Psycho-Babble Administration and should of course be civil. Dr. Bob has oversight over deputy decisions, and he may choose a different action. If you wish, you can appeal this decision to him.

> When people dared disagree with you on A.l.T Med
> you posted under another name that "Larry Hoover was dying, and he is the "bravest man I know"I did no such thing. If you're going to claim quotations, at least get them correct. The ones you supplied are false, although I was able to find the relevant thread.
That thread was a gross invasion of my privacy. I said it was none of *his* business then, and it remains none of *your* business now.
> Interesting that you would speak of manipulation.
Manipulating the truth is the least acceptable to me.
I have only ever made (approximately) three posts not under my own name (in 2001?), and I felt so bad about it, I outed myself, even though I'd already stopped, and nobody knew. What then happened, though, was that all sorts of posts were attributed to me that I did not make. Apart from those three posts, I have only posted under my own name (three variants, on different servers) for 16 years, and *that* you can Google.
> This deflected the situation for a while.
Oh, really? It seems to have quite a life.
> And, this I've noticed seems to be a theme surrounding you, when a woman at same board asked you repeatedly to not post to her, and finally placed a "killfile" on your posts, you borrowed another name in order to continue your arguments.
Like I was just saying..... I have always encouraged people to killfile me, if that's what would make *them* feel better. To facilitate that, I only ever used my own name, save for three (+/-) posts, ever.
This woman you speak of has posted under dozens and dozens of aliases, and continues to make unsubstantiated allegations against people on various groups. Just look at a.s.d.m., and find posts with the word kook in them.
> On Babble I've noticed you simply "forget" that there have been do not post requests made to you by women.
I wasn't posting to that other party. I was posting a contrasting declarative sentence, and my opinion of the contrast, to further that position which I had already expressed. I was speaking only to the audience at large.
What amazes me is that someone can direct the subject line of a post to me, and make an obvious personal inference, i.e. "what's that got to do with you? and i thought i was narcisistic!", without anybody making hay of it. That wasn't to me, right? Whereas, in a post with no subject line direction, I make a declarative statement about a specific (though implied) third party (Jai), and add an opinion, and somehow I'm posting to a second party?
The FAQ clearly states: "Posting to someone means directing either the subject line or the body of a post to them. Replying to a post by someone isn't necessarily posting to them." I retained a quoted portion of text simply to make the contrast between the differing syntax clear. If the issue is in making use of the "include above post" button, then the FAQ should also make mention of it. If a general declarative statement can be taken as being posted to a particular person, then I fear for my safety here.

No. I am compelled by way of my own ethics to point out the most glaring hypocrisy not because it is hypocrisy, most people are hypocrits to some extent. When the hypocrisy is used to elevate oneself by belittling others I am personally compelled to "out" it. Now I've made more work for you, and I am sorry for that.

You don't know who I am, you know not how I know you and / or the extent of my knowledge regarding you, and your treatment of people. Neither do you know the proof I have. Your circumlocution does not baffle or intimidate me.
I am not a troll choosing to wantonly disparage a poster using half truths and conjecture.
If I did not truly believe that you are a clever predator, I would not say anything.I chose to limit my comment to the circumstance, but am not afraid of getting blocked if I need to post links, name names,(real names with permission) situations, places, education, jobs, in order to clarify the above statement that this is not a game to me.

When I reincarnated at this site a few years ago, I immediately picked a fight with chemist and Larry. I'm no scientist but that's never stopped me before.
Anyway, when the smoke cleared, chemist and Larry were both warned or blocked, after *I* had provoked them. I only escaped punishment because I knew how to attack someone within the civility rules. I was Babble savvy.
What's remarkable, is that when I finally came to my senses (several months later) and apologized to Larry, he was kind and gracious - even compassionate. I've never met him but I don't doubt his sincerity.
I've been a senior member at a credit card rating site (tops according to the Wall Street Journal) since 2000 (although they list me joining in 2003 due to some major site remodeling) so I have some experience on message boards. I've been visiting Babble since 2001, under a different name until about 2004. I managed to get myself banned for life at a third site we needn't mention - I like to blame it on a mixture of ego and booze.
Of all the thousands of posters I've encountered I consider Larry Hoover the *gold* standard. Knowledge, Compassion, and Sincerity.

Please don't post anything that could lead others to feel accused or put down. You've been asked before to be civil, so now I am blocking you from posting. I've asked Dr. Bob to determine the duration of the block.
If you or others have questions about this or about posting policies in general, or are interested in alternative ways of expressing yourself, please see the FAQ:
http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/faq.html#civil
http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/faq.html#enforce
Follow-ups regarding these issues should be directed to Admin and should, of course, be civil. Dr. Bob has oversight over deputy decisions. Thus, you can always appeal this decision to him, and he may choose a different action.Namaste
