Yeah, that was kind of funny with DOO. That is one of the main reasons I kept egging it on with her for as long as I did. We put her thru the ringer. I have not been able to talk to her because she lives in Cincy and of course I am in Florida. Everytime I log on, she is on Messenger and she flys off like a sprayed roach, as Rae would say............
See, she has about a gazillion computers in her husbands business and I'm wondering if she has had her IP address changed by now. However, the post and thread that got locked does not look like her writing. I can spot her grammar and writing in a New York Second.
Nother question for you Rae, gonna send you an email. Be looking for it......
Hey guys, come over to the pp board if you really want to see some crazy chit.
but is Doo really in a psych ward or were you kidding????
inquiring minds want to know
jamv- did you follow the thread? i was reading it live and then it got locked. was a doozy. :)
Hey you guys. I popped back on for a second with my un-motivated self. anyway just wanted to let you guys know yes we were all joking. She really wasn't in a psych ward that I know of. We were kidding about it being playdou, basket weaving and bingo night. Someone said she got away and got access to a computer and was playing games on it-LOL That is how that all started. If you read all of Doo's posts you would know why. She wasn't making sense and was very stuck on herself. I believe her husband is a doctor and she has had multiple plastic sugeries. She's just a spolied little brat and not a very good friend to Pam. She may be institutionalized sometime in the near future but not right now that I know of. Pam where are you? You can answer their question better than I can.
So hope that cleared it up for your enquiring minds-LOL Pam I got your e-mail and sent you one back. Peace out people. I am off .. Rae

yes i read parts of it, but you were there live. woohooo.
all-
So I got the last word forever in one thread. Too cool. Watched the tread get locked can only guess as to why but perhaps the moderators didn't want any "pro pot" sentiments posted on the board. An unexpected and interesting result but on reflection, not surprising. I will have to be sure to pay more attention to those subfunctions in the future. That one datapoint justifies all the time I have spent on this board.
Now that you are all convinced (ie I have removed ALL doubt) that I am a raving loonie...
jamv-
You resemble that remark? lol...LOL....LMAO....ROFL(ok need to stop now, my sides are starting to hurt).
THANKS I NEEDED THAT SOOOO MUCH!
jojo-
What I was expierencing was probably post rush depression (mild, no worries) sounds like you have more serious issues going on here.
I think maybe it's not lack of motivation, but rather being overwhelmed by all the demands on you, things you need to accomplish, loads placed on you by your relatives, and NOVEMBER *puts on soundtrack from jaws*.
Try taking things "one hour at a time" or "one task a time". Put in a load of laundry, and go sit down, when that's accomplished, pick another task, clean one room, do the dishes, whatever. As your sense of accomplishment grows and your to do list shrinks you may find your motivation returns.
Welcome new arrivals.

thanks for the suggestion and helping me realize it's just not my head, it's everything that is around me. you are right.
good day all!

Ok, I have to be honest, here. The Psych Ward comment upset me. Then I realized my own # 1 rule, not to take things personally. :-) So I'm over it.
I have been to an outpatient program on the "third floor" of the hospital before and believe me, "One flew over the Cuckoos Nest" it is not. Stigma around mental illness makes me crazy ! LOL
Although I can joke about it like the rest of the world and poke fun of myself, sometimes. I would really like society to normalize mental illness just like diabetes or any other serious illness that sometimes can cause death.
Just my awareness campaign, no shaming or blaming or hard feelings.
Sharing my personal experiences seems to be important to my recovery, so thanks for listening, because of this board, I'm actually experiencing fleeting moments of happiness, which has been missing since 70 days ago when I was stoned and silent.

Yup, wouldn't it be cool if everybody lived their lives with the four agreements....
Thanks, JoJo, you and Jamv inspire me too, on many levels....One thing that stands out for me now is to get out in the world and contribute like you both do.
As valuable as being a mother is.....I hope someday I can work outside the home......too, instead of being afraid of people. Thanks for making me feel safe here. Oh damn, here come the tears.....

i work daily trying to normalize mental illness and substance abuse. at the same time using dark humor to deal with the tragedies and trauma folks endure, in order to cope.
however, there is a time and place and no one is better than anyone else. i think when we are angry we sometime jump towards the weeknesses of others. i think some folks really felt betrayed and angry with this doodoo person. a psych ward would have probably looked like a spa for this person.
has anyone heard of it called the booby hatch. that was a new one for me. (just trying to lighten the subject)

I Gotcha Jamv,
Dark Humour..... like when my husband said my cousin " chose to leave the breathing club." when he died.
Yes, I've heard of boobie hatch, LOL I wonder where that term came from ?
And the word "loonie" doesn't work anymore, as that's what our dollar coin is called. LOL

At seventeen, after breaking out a taillight with a hammer, becasue "the voices in his head told him to" my youngest brother was forceably committed. It was a tough decision for my parents to make, but the alternative was to let him turn eightteen and not be able to do anything for him until he hurt himself or someone else. He had been a problem teen, smokin pot and fathering children he would never see. But the good news is that after years of treatment and drug therapy he's mostly normal, well he's more normal than me, anyhow, which still leaves a wide bearth! %ha ha beat ya to it jamv!% We do agree on one thing though, reality is overrated!
lol.
On a historical note loons and boobies are both birds. The term loonie comes from the wailing cry of a loon which when heard late at night can resemble the scream or wail of a woman. Boobies exhibit some kind of crazy behavior, but I can't remember what. According to my dictionary booby comes from the spainish bobo, dunce or idiot. So apparetly the bird came by the name honestly.
Time to admit my ignorance one one thing, though-what are the four agreements?
