Couch 82: If you're happy and you know it, be a number!

I appreciate that, but i was hoping to emphasize the 2nd and latter parts of my statement rather than that first part. It was helen keller who said when god closes a door he opens a window.

Like i probably never would have left my home state, but when my job transferred me, my mother wouldnt really argue with it - for her it was work over everything else in life. Of course i had chosen the company hoping it would happen...

Just sayin'. I'm probably not the best person anyway right now because things have been rough and I'm ready to drop kick my Pdoc and other such people in my life.

I am not religious and the phrase does not bother me. I don't believe it, but it doen't bother me.

Has anyone else read the book titled "When Bad Things Happen to good People" by Harold S Kushner. I read it abour 20 years ago.

Healed, that sounds really stressy.
Hugs if you want them.
Like, wtf with the cookie butter? Some of your food items are frankly baffling. I used to live with a Californian and her mum would send her squirty cheese! In a can!
It's a beautiful misty morning, and I'm going to walk my dog down to the river.

Teenagers. let it be, let it be, let it be.
We were all manipulative attention seekers once. Some of us (me) still are.....

Well acute care people came, I really tried hard t hide my irritabilty ad agitation plus the racing thouhts. They have up my zyprexa seeing as I had a few sleepless night. I really want to let go and let the mania run its course but the Acute Care Unit was mentioned and I really don't want to go there again...

All this talk o teenagers did i miss something?

SD be glad you are where you are as 2 doors down from where I am is the Christmas concert at the Ballet School.

(((Healed))) Would it be an option to send your son to a different school? It sounds like a very stressful situation with you both in the same place, and honestly, the school comes across as rather judge-y...

Thanks all, for the support. I would not be getting fired, but if my son is kicked out of school I may have to leave if we can't find proper care for him. All of the public preschools are filled because they go by lottery system. We also have my son's food and bee/wasp allergy in mind. We have to be able to send him somewhere we feel safe and care takers will take it all seriously. Also, there's the I am irrational mess when it comes to emotions and I may have said somethings to my boss that was the equivalent of telling my boss to take this job and shove it. However, there is some history between me and my boss... Idk what is going to happen. I took the day off and kept my kid home today. My boss refuses to believe that my son has some emotional and anxiety issues and will not talk to his therapist.

I'm sorry That sounds like a tough situation.

My teenage daughter has never wasted words. It's my wife who can't get to the point.

My mother. That woman! She can take two sentence explanation and turn it into a five paragraph essay (or perhaps a doctoral dissertation). So many detours and dramatic pauses.

I did not expect those of you with children to agree with me. It is good I don't have any.

I'll loan you the seven year old for half an hour if you like

What would I do with 7 yr olds or 7 yr olds with me? Again - I have reasons why I don't have children nor friends with children nor live near children, nor visit people with children and so on.

I do not like kids at all
I do not like them at a ball
I do not like them down the hall
I would not like them on a bus
I cannot stand all their fuss
I do not like their sticky goo
I do not like not them, why do you?*


*for poetic reasons - rhetorical - not a real invitation to tell me.

ROFLMAO!!!!

Their one saving grace?

They do eventually turn into adults,

That's it you see. I'm a researcher at heart. I like to Observe... And the 7 year old is quite feisty.

I also have an evil streak

I don't like the feisty kind even more than the regular kind.
It is fine with me if others want them, just keep them away from me. One thing that has always baffled me is why some people (often people at work or students) think that their children are my problem.

Don't worry SD, I wouldn't really sic the kid on you. She drives me crazy at times, and I like kids.

Just crankier than usual about children and their parents - I despise and hate and detest people with strollers. Clueless narcissists who run over others and take up too much room because they had unprotected sex. A half-witted breeder ran his stroller into my dog (who was on my side of the sidewalk - not my problem the guy had a double stroller on a small sidewalk). Then he had the gall to act like we had somehow bothered him by making him have to use only half the sidewalk.

Stop, I actually like kids mostly, and people like that annoy the hell out of me. I was walking my dog when we lived in town and we were going through the busy, crowded, fun, downtown shopping area. My dog was extremely well behaved and we had been through multiple obedience classes, but she was not particularly friendly and could be very aggressive off-lead (especially to men who smelled like a combo of beer and cigarettes). Anyway, we passed a couple with an absolute slew of kids and the kids were all over the place and the couple was yelling at them and the kids were not listening. One of the little girls ran away from the parents and just pounced on my dog from behind. Really startled the dog, but I told her to sit and stay and she did. The guy comes up and snatches up his kid and gives me a dirty look. I am not afraid of conflict (as some of you may have noticed), so I just stared back at him, and said, "why are you giving ME a dirty look? How is this my fault or my dog's fault? My baby obeyed and I didn't even have to yell at her." He just turned around and stalked off.

Also, I have noticed people don't seem to like it when you compare your dog or cat or their child. It's weird.

Honestly I don't like having my kids, particularly my son, compared to people's pets. I know people love their furbabies just as much as human babies, and I would too if I had any, but I just don't like it. Maybe I'm extra sensitive because of my son's special needs and related stuff...

I sometimes compare my pets to someone's kids because the person is annoying me about their kid. I, as a person with no children, am usually bored witless by people talking about their kids (except in small, special situation, doses-such as the kid winning a nobel prize or something extremely terrible that the person needs to tell). But often if I am bringing up my pet in a like manner as with someone's kid-it means I am trying my best to relate to the person.
