"Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming 'Wow! What a Ride!'

Oh yeah, I forgot about this thing
In January-February I was apparently having a bout of depression. Sometimes it takes me a while to notice that I'm not acting right, and for whatever reason my family wasn't calling me on it like they normally do. (thanks, guys! not.)
I don't get all morose and "life isn't worth living, it's all hopeless, it's all pointless" when I"m depressed. It's a brain chemical thing, and my symptoms are mostly physical. No energy. Lots of body pain, weakness, no stamina. IF there are any bugs going around, I'll catch them when I'm depressed because my defenses are down. I don't want to talk to people. The very idea of calling someone on the ph

Mess Test:

Toy Test:
Obtain a 55-gallon box of Legos. (If Legos are not available, you maysubstitute roofing tacks) Have a friend spread them all over the house. Put on a blindfold. Try to walk to the bathroom or kitchen. Do not scream. (This could wake a child at night.)

Dressing Test:
Obtain one large, unhappy, live octopus. Stuff in

It seems silly to be attached to a tape dispenser, but this is a heavy-duty table model welded for me by one of the vocational students at the Job Corps center where I worked for ten years before opening up my store. It's got sentimental as well as practical value.
One thing I learned from working at Job Corps is that you can't count anyone out. Some of our worst, most hopeless students, the ones who had severe drug addictions and terrible emotional issues from years of abuse at the
Sick of the Hate
(this is all brought about by death threats my daughter received at the bus stop...she was threatened, that if she doesn't start dating boys, she will have her brains bashed out. you better believe that Science Hill High School will be seeing me first thing in the morning, and Johnson City Transit will be seeing me right afterwards.)
So...here is how I "suffer" through the "tragedy" of having a daughter who is queer.
I'm seriously having one of those weeks where I just want to pack up my kids and leave this place. I have one child who is queer, the other is straight. Nothing wrong with either. But my queer child takes endless amounts of

A woman I work with sent me that same statement right after she found out she had liver cancer. She's still as ornery as she was before the diagnosis.
