Lost opportunity to save my soul or whatnot.
Priorities man, priorities. The interwebs ain't going to police themselves. Sometimes them intertubes need a good Drano shot to make sure all of the cats can get through.

Just so you don't feel like the Lone Ranger here. I was raised decently, given good values, sheltered, clothed, feed and financially assisted but loved in the sense @SCyclone is talking about wasn't part of the equation. My mom was not much for any displays of emotion. No laughing, no crying, no displays of affection....just the way she was.

Oh, I'm referring to a much darker, opposed to my living sort of way.
When we uncovered the allergy problem, my mom was so opposed to isolating it that she took to using it herself, then gaslighting us, then working with the in-laws to slowly roll through different Dr. Oz theories to try and make us think we were wrong rather than solving the problems. This led to several instances that very nearly killed me.
Or, in short, it's more important to my mom that I'm wrong than it is that I'm alive.
So I'll offer that there are greater loves than a mother.
Well, you are kind of a big deal!
The Gr8 One participating in the phone conference meeting this morning.
It is dangerous indeed to assume that everyone else's parents were exactly like one's own. Mine eyes were especially opened when I prosecuted juvenile court for a time (not that I'm suggesting Boxster's mother is like some of the parents I encountered there).
I recall one hearing where Judge Dull (whose courtroom manner was the antithesis of his surname) stopped the hearing to exclaim in his booming voice "Ma'am, you are the most pathetic excuse for a parent that I have ever encountered". And he was likely correct.
I wish I could say that that's a cool story, bro, but it wasn't .
I bet these parents have her beat.

Yeah. I did have a case where an infant was brought to the hospital in rough shape. He had petechial hemorhages in his eyes (and wound up being blind). The docs opined that he was a victim of being shaken and slammed. The investigation took a while--the waters were rather murky. But after a lie detector test, the grandmother broke down and confessed, calling herself a monster. Her confession was corroborated. Another non-cool war story, bro.
I'm going to have to stay out of this thread for awhile if this stuff keeps up. Stories like these have a bad effect on me, combination of breaking my heart and pi$$ing me off.
On a much lighter note, and maybe I need to get my mind out of the gutter but, I had Chinese for lunch and my fortune cookie had "A tub and rub will change our day"
I'm not trying to dictate what you can or can't post, I just might not read your posts for a bit
That's fine. I rarely bring up such things, anyway. It is all good. And here's one thing we can all join hands around the campfire and sing about:I'm not trying to dictate what you can or can't post, I just might not read your posts for a bit

How do you read that and not end up with your mind on the gutter? Mine certainly did.
Especially if you follow the convention of prefacing every fortune cookie fortune with "While in bed..."
To be fair, I have met a lot of women with more balls than quite a few men.
Soooo...maybe I should have said "born with no joystick"? Would the young'uns in here even know what that is...or was???To be fair, I have met a lot of women with more balls than quite a few men.
I don't know about that, I'm pretty certain the wife's mind would quickly find its way to the gutter as well.
