Chiming in as another child of a Vietnam Vet. My father never recovered from his time there. He fell in love with the food, the languages, and admittedly the women (He thought Vietnamese and Thai women are the most beautiful in the world). As a history major, I was always fascinated by the time, and he would never talk to me about it.

He developed a medical condition while over there, that never went away. He had nightmares. He lost friends.

So while it is a fascinating time, it's not really a 'game' friendly theme, I don't think.

@Pandora Thank you for the story I did not know I needed.

When your character keeps doing something, and it both makes you wince and laugh repeatedly. Because it is something you would never do, but lord, is it funny to think about.

Justin Ponsor (it's a stretch, but..) Colorist for Marvel comics for the last 15 years - Death of Wolverine, Avengers, Civil War II, and tons more.

When you have to bite your tongue to stop from giggling non-stop to try and finish a pose.

Today is the 6th Anniversary of the day this adorable boy chose me.

@hella I mean, I've read a few interviews from Pros, who when they have to let a character go, they will sit, have a drink/toast to, write down the things they liked least/best, and/or have a bit of a cry.

Well, it's finally here. Day I find out if they will actually give me something to help. My therapist warned me she probably will want to give me a mood stabilizer versus something controlled like Adderall. It's time I dig in my heels to be my own best advocate. Wish me luck

Glad: Seeing a game someone started, really seeming to have some healthy growth.

Sad: Wanting to offer understanding and some sympathy to another someone because theirs didn't, but.. it would be AWKWARD.

I wish someone had tried to help me figure out how to cope, when I was a kid. But 'girls don't get ADHD' was basically how I was treated. I didn't understand the harm I was doing to my grades when I would get hyperfocused on something that would do me no good scholastically. I'm sure my father's notion that it was that I was lazy and undisciplined and his 'solution' to that didn't help, either.

@Auspice I already spoke to my diabetic doctor's office. I'll have one in the mail by the end of the week to give the job.

But I have an interview on Friday for a much better paying gig (I mean WAY better), so if some of y'all could spare me some good thoughts, it would mean a HUGE change up for me.

I have big interview tomorrow. I am freaking out already.

@Aria Well, the interviewer thanked me for a great interview. I am taking it as a positive sign.

@Auspice @Roz I spoke to an EEOC rep, and am now just waiting for a phone interview to finish filing the charge.

-sigh- So I got pulled into the office at work today. So they can 'request' I test my blood sugars and inject my insulin in the ladies' room or the break room, and not at my desk. Because 'some people' have 'weak stomachs'.

So - when I test, there's a tiny drop of blood I put on a test strip. Unless you're RIGHT THERE, you're not going to see it.

Also? Illegal, per the ADA.

@TNP Challenge accepted. Glynis Johns in Mary Poppins - Sister Suffragette.

I'm crazy in love with my nephew. I got to hold him and take care of him for 4 hours today. The Oxytocin is dangerous level.

@Lisse24 I so want to kiss the snoot.

@Rinel I understand this feeling. I would hug you and bring snacks, if I could.

@Auspice There are things about me I will always hate. But I feel you about the scarring (hello 4 abdominal surgeries in 4 years) and no matter what, I KNOW where the scars are, even the ones other people may not 'notice'.

Other people think I'm hot, so I'll roll with it. I will stop telling them how they're blind/wrong/etc. Because even if I am heavier than I would like to be, and scarred, I'm a badass bitch.
