I restrained myself from posting in that thread. It was hard.
I think her screename says it all. This is her identity now. What will she do if she lets it all go? Also, it PISSES ME OFF that she brings up cancer every time she can, when her tumour was BENIGN.
I'm jerky about this. I'm sorry. We were sick at the same time and I cannot identify with how she has reacted to it. I should be more sympathetic, but I think maybe she's a liar, so I'm not.
My minpin and my boxer are at my mother's home. She lives out in the country and they have plenty of room. Our plan was to bring them back this trip back to texas. Would you like me to post a picture of my parents with my dogs with today's newspaper? ? I'll ask them later. Jesus. I know you all have been catfished but i feel like im constantly the sacrificial lamb.
Beau will stay here with my husband and go to doggy day care during the day.

I've been lurking a lot. Just don't have anything to add to threads in fear ofwhat exactly is happening here. People post their happy news, I'm happy for them. People post sad stuff and ask for prayers, i pray for them.

That's a bit harsh. It was in her head. Just because it was benign doesn't mean it didn't cause irreparable damage. Maybe she can't let it go because she is still living with the deficits ( personality changes, memory loss, etc.) she has been left with?
Actually, i was just asking an irl/board friend this - "there they go again! I seriously don't understand why i even bother" friend - i haven't been on, what happened? Me- i know! I'm lonely and am looking for some sort of human interaction.
I have an actual flameful. Putting on the suit. I am SICK of the gifted moniker being thrown around all over the place. Apparently every child that I know is gifted.
It's basically become that any child who has some attention issues in the classroom (b/c they are, you know, 5) is having this problem b/c they are "gifted" and the material and teaching style are boring them.
First, let me say of course I know that this can be a hallmark of a gifted child. I get it. I totally do. And I want those children to have all the resources they deserve to succeed in school. But OMG. EVERY parent that I know the minute they hear there is a behavior issue in the classroom. "Well she talks all the time b/c she already knows the material so she needs to be tested for gifted." "Well, he forgets to do his homework almost every day, but our teacher says that is stereotypical of a gifted child so it will be this way until we can get him into a gifted class." And my personal favorite is my friend who says that her child is "savant level." Dude, she isn't. She is a very smart little girl. But Knowing your alphabet by age 3 does NOT mean that you are a savant.
Again, I absolutely know that many of these kids very well may be gifted. And some of them may be just everyday smart and have trouble concentrating. Am I the only person in the world who is fine without my kid having to be "gifted"?

You all are unbelievable.
If it makes you feel any better, I think Lucy can relate to people questioning the whereabouts of pets with suspicion.
When I kept seeing "scar" post I was very confused. I thought that "Stan" was posting and I knew she GBcGBCN'd over something. I kept meaning to PM one of yall and ask why she was back when she felt so violated. I almost PM'd LHC but then I remembered that LHC had something to do with it, right?
I CANNOT keep yalls shit straight.
Next thing I'll do is ask suesue how her sisters wedding planning is coming.

I've kept silent on this before but I'm not going to right now. Please stop comparing your cancer experience with hers - it's not a competition. People can feel for you both. Of course you're entitled to think she's "milking" it or whatever but I find it gross that you consistently call her out for it. She had brain surgery FFS. Benign tumor or not, portions of her brain were cut away. She's inconsistent and dramatic and maybe you're right that she's lying about all of this, though given that people have met her I doubt it's all fabrication.
I'm sorry stellas. I like you and I think what you went through was unimaginably frightening. You were very brave in the face of your diagnosis and treatment. But you're a different person. It makes you look petty when you keep harping on this and I know you're better than that.

I am too fucking smart, educated, and talented to spend my workdays making outlook appointments, scheduling travel, and printing off driving directions as someone's assistant. I am reaching a point of total disengagement and it's getting really hard to even pretend like I want to be at work anymore.
This makes me sound incredibly snotty and spoiled, so I'm putting it in a flamefuls.

I was unaware I'd ever compared us before.
Two very different medical problems. Hers undeniably scarier than mine. I'm not making this a pissing contest. There is a personality difference here that I find stark to the point of unbelievability.

Stella's hasn't been harping on her. I'd be surprised if this wasn't the first time she's commented on it at all actually.
It's not the first time. I remember because I thought it unbelievably cruel. I'm not any good at finding past threads though.

And another flameful from me is that this job sounds awesome to me! I will take it if you get paid even halfway decently!
I closed my office door this morning, started up a recorded webinar (with the sound turned way up), put my phone on Do Not Disturb, and took a nap. My fucking mouth hurts so bad and Tylenol/Advil/Aleve are not helping. Sleeping through it, until it wakes me up with stabbing pain, seems to be the only way I can stand it. So I was bad and took a nap at work. One more day until my root canal and hopefully this pain will be over.

I need to quit my job to keep up.
But then you'll give up your comped rooms! Not worth it, Laz.
