Why do my coworkers get mad at me when I refuse to go into work last minute on my day off?....
Oh that's right, it's a large company that thinks I should devote 24/7 to the job rather than my own personal life.

How the hell is it October already?  I swear I just put the Xmas decorations away.

Yes, a dismaying thought and sign of aging, sorry hon!

Remember how we used to measure time by how far off Christmas and our birthdays were?

I used to measure time by when my next paycheck dropped. Why was there always so much month left at the end of the money?

I got presents every six months.

Must call the accountant today and organize a time to get my tax done

The manager where I work is like that. The #$@hole tried to make me feel guilty for taking 3 classes at once one semester "You do know the needs of the store come first.. "  #%@% him. I feel so sad for him that he honestly believes in this, and has this mentality.


As for what's on my mind?  Meditating on being able to feel my face after hiding behind a beard for the last 12-14yrs (and looking like Gimli for the last 5). Spooked the housemate, he didn't recognize me at first LOL. Now to drop another 45-55lbs to see if or how much face tweeking I might need (down from 275 to 240/245, woot!)

I hate Finland's legal system.

Some guy abused a child for 11 years -> three years in prison.

That's just a load of bs.

[Mark3]

I don't want anyone here to commit suicide..
Is that too much to ask.?
At least 2 people here have talked openly about either planning or wanting to kill themselves tonight.
As if its inevitable, just part of they're future plan for themselves.

Where is everyone.? Why don't more come running to help them.?
I don't get it.?
We're a family.??
*cries*

We are a family.  I try to do all I can every time I read things like that.  If I can save a life, then all the time I've spent here is golden to me, because I was on the brink many times myself.  The thing is that I can't and don't read everything that gets posted here.  We all need to look out for one another and learn how to help talk people off the ledge and into either therapy or the ER.  I have lost many people this year alone, and I am getting tired of it.

Hugs,
Jill

Huggggs Jill.
I try and be the strong one in any group I'm in,
But when no ones looking, I'm the one in tears..

well darn, now I can't tell that guy exactly why people are treating him like an ->-bleeped-<- in that topic. A shame they don't let us have at somebody like that for therapeutic purposes.

[Tossu-sama]

I'm feeling kinda confused and I have a need for a proper discussion of a certain topic so I could get some clarification but... pffffft.

I suppose I shouldn't even try to understand certain things.

Hahahahaha...  OMG, thats exactly what I was thinking.....

I won't have to post now.. lol

You mean that thread that got locked?   

Yeah, umm I have a "friend" that doth protest too much...  Fifty bucks says that was a bad case of autotransphobia.

Yes Jill, I think we're all talking about the same topic that was locked.
It's weird how we always look back and wish we'd said something else.? I was way to polite to him..
It's kinda true, that topic would have been a great stress reliever and therapeutic if staff had of looked the other way, while we told him what we really thought of him and his topic. 

[Mariah]

As much as it would be therapeutic for all of us, they saved us from ourselves. I too thought about commenting especially after seeing their second post.

Just thinking about unleashing on some idiot makes me really miss the old myspace forums. especially l&r.  sigh.  still got friends from there though.

You're probably right, and I also was angrier after that second post.. It's always a little sobering to know there are hundreds of guests at any time reading our words here, and whether we like it or not, we are setting an example, good or bad, depending on what we say..

[Jaime R D]

I think it'd be a good exercise for some. Learn how to be cutting while also being polite as a way to deal with people like that.
