this must be the weirdest topic out of a thousand equally weird topics?
I have been so many people so many faces so many selves racing so many races... allowed to survive with just as much reason as anybody else and yet to be so volatile and so dangerous and so?.... what?...mentally ill? how did a person like me drug addict police assaulter law breaker!... psych ward homeboy!...streetfighter cellboy pisshead dickhead... I don't want to involve mania...I'm already told I'm bipolar!..and whatever else! but I met an old woman right!...she was 88...and beligerent as all get out....I respected her bad attitude so much she let me move into her house upstairs in the guest room just out of hospital I was clean shaven she had no idea of my history this old rich bad attitude woman! Rhonda....she became my best mate...imagine that?...a dropass criminal dirtbag!...with a wealthy very moody uncompromising old woman!... her hushand was an alcoholic airline pilot back when airplanes were still a treat...but he got booted cos of diabetes and hit the piss and gave her hell!...and luckily for her he died way back and she was all alone then and still now! (past tense) ...so she got me living upstairs...and she is getting worse by the day... I met her when her life was about 2 and a half years away from death...and she knew it... and dirtbag wants to suddenly care for her cos dirtbag respects her attitude cos she tells dirtbag things he understands and wealthy or not it all makes sense! dirtbag wants to keep her alive because this woman is now 90 and falling fast.... dirtbag goes and gets an aged care ticket...but the doctors put her away...and her big old house is now mine to care for... so unfreaking satisfying...I pass my course even though the teacher tried to **** me (litteraly) and I'm out the other side now and working at Rhondas' nursing home...despite my crappy record... and I wiped a thousand other butts to be with this old very charismatic incredible woman when she died... (actually I miscalculated...I worked their for a year before she passed away and it was about 20 bums a day...lovely people...but still just bums to wipe over 250 days....it's about 5000) I will never forget her... a complete stranger I fell in love with her personality... and she liked me too.. so whats that got to do with bipolar?... well?...nothing I suspect...but I'm told I have it...and this is just one of my stories she was the toughest person I ever met...even amongst all the try hard idiots i ever met along my ridiculous path... ...so the purpose of this story!? never underestimate the strength of those that appear to be weak.. it just might be you or me dm

This is an amazing story. She sounds like a pretty awesome lady really, strong and bullheaded, a fighter for sure. Bad attitude? Probably more like survivor attitude. Sometimes to survive that's how it comes out, puts a shell on you and makes your skin tougher than leather. RIP Rhonda.
