My personal reluctance comes from personal stuff. However, that said. If you talk to anyone that I have spotted with an illness or has one; my first question to them is "Have you seen a doctor for medication?"

There is NOTHING wrong with taking meds. I have tried them but they trigger all sorts of bad in me emotionally and I just react wrong. I even continue to try.

Zoloft made me unstable and insane. I went through my month and a half and the whole time I felt like I was losing my mind. I told my doctor and they agreed with me to try talk therapy and not drugs for now. I got the suicidal reaction but only because I felt like I was taking a drug that was supposed to help me; and it made it worse. So how was my life going to be, blah blah.

As well I have the added fun (and others do too) of having MS that completely alters my brain chemistry because of the lesions on certain parts. There are sadly not a lot of medications that also have an MS study. So some anti-depressants/anti-anxiety flare my MS. Some have the opposite affect because oh that area of my brain is affected in a way that wasn't expected.

Brains are awesome but they are weird.

In conclusion - I agree that everyone should go the medication route if they can. Also, if they can't, they should find what works for them.

And your poor neck. You must have been the bottom. I'm sorry. Let us know if you need an adult. ......

So we know my woe... wooooooe.

I'm out of work. My sister was awesome and like oh hey you almost died, sure come live here for a bit. It's okay we haven't talked for like a decade really. It's been a smooth transition (freakishly so) like we just picked up where we left off.

I was teasing her about getting her (already short) hair cut because she had an appointment today. I was like man I can't wait to get working and get mine trimmed or even someone just washing my hair (don't judge me - it's awesome). Then we laughed about shaving my head.

She comes in from the hair appointment and totally paid for a haircut AND tip via gift certificate she got me!

Sometimes I forget people can be thoughtful.

You are so old! Before online training? Tell me of your old days, were there dinosaurs?
I kid, I probably beat you at being old.

However, people tell other people online that they are ninjas and they mean it seriously? I mean I've said I'm a ninja, but it's right after I listed the things I tripped over during the day. Does that still count? #ninja?

I love a person that makes murder happen for free. *(See note below)

*Note: If anyone dies around me IRL, please delete comment.

Okay, one small annoyance with min/maxers: Going into TPs with them.

As I don't min/max when I go with one, I feel like I'm just wasting my time. The 'monster' is too strong because it has to be a challenge for them. They do all the things because they are maxed out while the rest of us just sit around. That one annoys me a bit.

Everyone knows the:
Why did the chicken cross the road?
To get to the other side

However, my sister was like yeah it's a suicide joke. I'm like no. Nuh-uh. It's a bad dad joke. Then I said it again. Realized death was 'the other side' and was like OMG... my... my brain is broken.

That joke isn't dumb, it's dark.

Yeah, it takes a lot especially as staff to admit you may have messed up. I don't like that term, but I can't think of one I do like. Perhaps had a moment of 'not thinking'? So yay for sincere apologies. They are rarely truly made.

Moreover they are rarely made now days by staff. I wasn't a player or affected by this, but it is good to read.

Days off where you do nothing and work doesn't call you and you have nothing to do. OMG. It's pure bliss.

While I tend to hush on this thread because of the reasoning behind my leaving. I find this total bullshit. I might not have said anything for myself, but I will say it for @lordbelh - Total bullshit.

Now I return you to Hellfrog's sandbox.

RL love one - People posting on this board! -- I love positivity.
RL love two - Random acts of kindness.
RL love three - People who invest their time with me. This is either through texting, calls, or in person. I don't think we say thank you enough to people that take time out of their lives for us.

OMG!! Did you hear what the internet did today? HAVE YOU SEEN THE CATS?! LOLZ! OMG and the puppies. They want cheezeburgers, all of them. Let us send the internet cheezeburgers.

THERE IS NOTHING BETTER THAN THE INTERNET!!!

I play less on genre and more about the culture. If players are awesome and not OOC dicks, then I can convert to any theme. If people include others, I will play there. So really it's more on a committee that has some of the same writing styles that I do. In the end, I'm just looking for cool people to tell a story with. That is more important to me than genre.

I had a 4.0 in college. Now in high school I had like a 2.5 or something. Can you guess who was bored in HS?

You can do it @Cobaltasaurus - If you want it, never let anyone tell you what you can and cannot do. Well except maybe the nice police officer with a gun and a taser. I'd listen to them.

I'm not one of the 'cool kids' (OMG - stop posting so I can be a top poster it's all I want in life) and I'm not super close with anyone here. I have only RPed with a few of them in fact. I'm not saying this as woe to me. WOE. I'm saying it because I don't see a hate mentality or an us against them. In fact, when someone jumped on me here, people backed me up and not the top poster. It was because factually I was right and the other was reactive. It happens to the best of us.

I don't find a lot of hate mentality. I find if there is a hate train going on, there is probably a legitimate reason for it. On WORA - no reason needed.

While we are Fuck This and Fuck that..

Fuck Valentine's Day. Seriously.

@surreality

It's a horrible sick twisted tilt-a-whirl of crap. Then you start thinking EVERYONE does it (not just those people). Then you get paranoid. Then you start to think maybe people don't like you and...

Welcome to depression.

I sometimes have to shake it off (like Taytay said) and realize sometimes I am going to be screwed over. Sometimes, I'm going to get fucked over. However, other times people are genuinely invested. That's what matters.

@ThatGuyThere

First -- This is my opinion it doesn't make other opinions wrong.

That's why I said that I would have engaged the couple in polite and friendly conversation. @Meg isn't suggesting lighting a person up for it. It is very hard to know what to do and to to do it. That's why I don't down put someone, but advice was asked for.

I am a firm believer that you do not cure hate with hate or anger with anger. So coming from a loving stance. You would embrace the couple with love (not literally - please don't touch strangers without permission). You talk to them and engage with them. You show your support in a non-hostile manner.

Like stated, no one can perceive a person's thoughts just by their looks; until they say or do something. You can be aware that it might exist, but we are not going to help cure prejudice by creating our own based on assumption and wrongdoing. However, there are many saying about evil wins when the good do nothing.

If someone is being mistreated in any form. I like to think we would offer support and protection in a banner of love and peace and calm. There are times you need to step up and state something is wrong when it is wrong. We as humanity all have the basic rights to live our lives without the force of hatred at us. As well, I don't think we should let someone face it alone.

Now in this situation we don't know the other person's thoughts. He could be smirking because he's thinking last week he and his partner got yelled at. He could be shaking his head and tsking to the event in his head and the couple just triggered the thought, but not at the couple. So if we embrace the couple in love and our support without brutality and aggression; then the other man will either take note and agree with us or he will take note and realize he's alone in his thoughts and keep them to himself. Either way the couple is spared and hey, maybe you make new friends.
