Yep i am bragging

[Lilith]

Here's three:

I gave up one of my guts (kidney) to a girl I hardly knew ... now I know her quite well and she makes a mean stuffed pepper

I once organized a group of street picketers and phone harrassers to get  Meth Dealer to release his grip on an under age girl from my church that he had gotten all spun.  Took us a month (and he threatend my life so I started knocking onhis door at 3 am) but he turned he loose and she got clean and stayed clean.

I pulled my truck over on the side of the freeway to get a ladybug off the windsheild so she wouldent get squished.

..... I think #3 is the keeper.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I think it is cool you got ot know the girl whom you helped.

The thing with the meth dealer, i give you alot of credit for, i know it is not easy to get a friend much less any oen else clean.

I luv ladybuggs.......I try to buy some every year to add to my gardens.

Not so much me, but one of my best friends (and long time poker buddy) is playing in two events at the World Series of Poker next month.  Fucker...should have been me going (damn responsibilities)...but I told him not to come back without a bracelet.  Wish him luck!!

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

when the time comes for this event you should let me know who your friend is, they allways show that kind of stuff at work, especially if it is a seireis of some sort. Any how i will cheer for him (or what ever you do for poker) since i dont have any favorites already.

Thanks Lilith.

Trippy thing about the kidney friend - after the transplant she started craving rare meat and guiness and spicy foods....she used to hate all that stuff - that was always MY favorite stuff. She got married a month after the transplant and I got to dance with the bride Lobo Solo.

And the Meth thing.... I used to be a meth fiend myself, cost me alot, I hated seeing such a young girl lose herself.

And dont ever open a package of ladybugs by the front door....they fly inside the hosue and your cats have a field day...this too I had to learn...

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I owe most of it, to my job, i waitress right now and i run my ass off!

I guess if I really look at it i have done some things but not on purpose. We have had low funds laltey so we have not eaten out as much as we used to, since we have had low funds i have made some very healthy decisions while shopping,Plenty of fresh fruits n veggies, i have cut down on the amount of Junk food i buy and what i do buy of junk food usually has some type of artifical goodness to it.

Oh and i have been working in the yard alot latley too. Which has kept from sitting here in front of the puter too much.

I have been trying to get out n about to places that cause me to be phsyical, like CC i dance dance dance dance almost non stop.

I dont know, i grew up being called fat and teased alot casue i wieghed 180 lbs untill i was 17 (at 17 i blossomed, my boobs stayed the same size and i got down to 130 lbs ), well now with my 10 year high school reunion comming up i am sort of proud that i look better or equal too what i did in high school. I just want to scream NAH NAH NAH NAH NAH NAH at em all, especially those "popular" skinny chicks who are probally all fat themselves now a days.

I made mention of the house in another thread, i think the secrets one. I also let out the secret that i am good with power tools, :grin You have not been doing your asigned reading my love.

HOnestly dear if i was to bragg about the house i would first tell everyone how proud i am of you for tackleing alot of things in which you had little knowldege about. I would tell every one how proud i am of you for taking on such a huge project, and even though it is taking for ever to complete, i am proud of you for sticking to it. I am pleased of the fact that we passed all of our rough inspections which means you learned the right way to do those things you did know about. I would bragg that we have some how through out all the stress made it, we are still married and we still actualy like each other, well atleast i still like you.

You know how i feel about this house, it cuts both ways for me. I am so very proud of it and so embarressed by it all at the same time.

I have a little something to brag about--I got a pet turtle! He's so cute. He's a Central American Wood Turtle. His name's Agent Kujan, from the usual suspects.

[Brenda Starrr]

When my son was 7, he was diagnosed as bi-polar. They gave him 4 different types of meds, 2 of which caused him to hear voices that laughed at him and told him to kill himself. He was put into a psych ward. Over the period of 1 year, he was in and out of the psych ward 7 times. Throughout this period, I started reading about Asperger's Syndrome. Asperger's is a mild form of autism, and usually the person with it excels in a particular area. My son knows a ton about computers, and had never been taught any of it.

Well, he had a psychologist that I wasn't comfortable with. She was always 20 minutes or more late for our appointments, never apologizing for it. She was also impossible to get an appointment with. We had gone through 3 (Three....the magic number) sets of furniture in less than one year, and it was because of Ian's frustration at not being understood and a large impulsivity issue. We went to see his psychologist one Tuesday, after he had broken the footrest off of my grandfather's recliner and drew perfect red stars all over it with a Sharpie. This woman was not only 25 minutes late (again), typically unapologetic. I told her that I wanted to be referred to a new psychologist because of the constant lateness, and she began the paperwork. She asked me what has been going on, and I proceeded to tell her about the chair.

She asked Ian to step outside into the waiting room. She then looked me right in the eye and had the nerve to say:

"I don't think that you love your son."

:blink

Here is my reply to her, word for word. Some things, you just never, ever forget:

"If I didn't love Ian, I would let him run the streets and destroy other people's shit. If I didn't love him, I wouldn't have come to each and every doctor's visit or lost my job because I was at the hospital every day, meeting with inflexible case workers."

She repeated what she said. And then, I lost it on her. I said:

"Look, bitch. You get cracking NOW on those transefer papers. You're a fucking quack who doesn't know MY son. You haven't been helpful from the word go. Get these fucking papers done so my son doesn't have to see you anymore. IF I ever see you walking the street, you ARE my personal speed bump. I love both of my kids more than life itself. I would take a bullet for them. I would give them any part of me so that they would have the life that they deserve. YOU DON'T KNOW US."

She finished the transfer papers, and then told me that she was going to spend some time with him. I firmly said NO, and that we were leaving. We went upstaris with the transfer papers, and I basically demanded that the receptionist pass my info to the bitch's boss.

The reason for this story: I fought for my son. I've always fought for my kids. I will ALWAYS fight for my kids. They deserve everything and more. I will never, ever quit fighting for their rights. I fought for his right to be re-tested for Asperger's, and succeeded. And I was right all along....

[Steven]

that was a heavy story Brenda, I'm diggin you.....

(god bless you and your son and may you always find peace and protection set before you in every step you take)

You are a very lovin and caring mother, it does not take some one with a degree to tell that, just look at what you write about them and do with them. Your love for them is all over this board and i am sure else where in your life too. You did the right thing.

i am glad you shared this, fighting for your kids is deffinatly something to talk about.

lilith

[Brenda Starrr]

Thank you both. This experience taught me to NOT take anyone's shit. I've become more aware of my options as far as what I can do to make sure that the kids get the best possible public school education. I've basically gone to war with the Baltimore County public school system. The main office knows me by name, whick could be good or bad.

[Steven]

It's good Brenda, it's good. In modern society the greatest blasphemy is in speaking out - this is a Euphamystical world - take this title (co-dependent - ADD, Bi Polar, whatever) and stand there and dont move and know your role!!!! (I hate it and try to fight it always)

Fuck em babe. Let them think what they will. Better to die in the street with sword in hand then die fat, compromised and common with your sword in the closet under some old shoes and a box of twinkies. (did that even make sense??? Whatafucka???)

You love your kids. Nothing could be more clear, or more powerful or respectable or admirable. I pray for you. Your worth it.

Steven

[Brenda Starrr]

Thank you so much!

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Oh My God, she said that ?! That's horrible! I'm shocked she could make such a rude comment, especially with as shoddy a job as she was doing. It makes me want to loan you my copy of the APA's ethical guidelines for psychologists so you could look up something to file a grievance against her on...

[Dollardave]

Mental illness is a very trying thing for anyone to deal with. I've had 4 girlfriends with bi-polar or that had psychotic disorders. I feel for u in your lifes trials cuz its no picnic to deal with. You may have to go to 4 or 5 doctors before you get the results u want. Theres a medicine called geodon which has very little side efffects that works pretty good for bi-polar. Zyprexa is good too but makes you tired.

Sorry...I didn't check this thread for a while...he played in the casino employee event and the $1,500 buy in No-Limit event. The first one, I guess he got knocked out fairly early, and the second one is still going on. 111 players left out of 2200. He's got a shot. :cheerful

Yup I'm bragging too, I have been dating for the past two weeks the most beautiful, wonderful woman I have ever met. She is compasionate, thoughtful, intelligent and makes me forget my name. She has the ability to make me forget the others before her. Whoa. =)

Are my feet touching the ground yet??
