Be kind to graywarrior. Lately, she's had nightmares of her own vision of the Zombie Apocalypse.

Like so many men, I am led around by, no... inspired by, nay... COMPELLED by my Woody.

I have become convinced that Eugene Jones is not HopeHoops.

.
.
.
And no... he hasn't been in touch with me privately, but I DO see things in him that
HopeHoops would just not be able to do convincingly.
.
And I think what's happened is that ONE demagogue just KNEW, through the powers
of his/her omniscience, just KNEW that Eugene Jones WAS HopeHoops and used
the techniques of moral panic/demagoguery to convince others that he/she WAS
HopeHoops, and others saw this and, just as in many mobs, also just KNEW that he
was HopeHoops. And THEY convinced yet others and so on... and so on... and so on...
.
I THINK I'm seeing some of the haters putting up a safety net. "Well, maybe... just
MAYBE Eugene Jones is not HopeHoops, but dammit I can tell he/she is someone we
SHOULD hate."
.
Thus (THAT logic goes), IF he/she was once on DU and we hated him/her, there is
absolutely NO room in our hearts for forgiveness, for recognition that people can
change, that there is ANY such thing as (hah) rehabilitation and being allowed to
rejoin society as a now-useful member.
.
Simply a transferral of the hatred and their lives can go on.
.
From "Tombstone":
.
Doc Holliday: And you must be Ringo. Look, darling, Johnny Ringo. The deadliest
pistoleer since Wild Bill, they say. What do you think, darling? Should I hate him?
.
Kate: You don't even know him.
.
Doc Holliday: Yes, but there's just something about him. Something around the eyes,
I don't know, reminds me of... me. No. I'm sure of it, I hate him.


Geez, do I hear strong echoes of right-wing demagoguery here lately!!!
.
.
You know the saying "Haters gonna hate"?
.
.
.
Sometimes I think it's only half-finished.
.
.
.
"Haters gonna hate. Haters gotta hate.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
I am BACK. I'll once again be doing what I do best with my picture/cartoons.
.
Two things have re-inspired... re-energized me.
.
The kindness, gentleness and love for all generated both by and for the persona on
this site known as SalmonChanteEvening.
.
And the fact that there are so many haters, seemingly COMPULSIVE haters seemingly
UNABLE to stop the hatred/hatred/hatred that they have been spewing as of late --
and the fact that as much as possible needs to be done to try to balance that.
.
Almost all of us find it difficult to keep from dipping into the Dark Side... but some of us
seem to enjoy wallowing in it.

Deninmi is VERY unhappy with the job his mailperson is doing and he's not shy about expressing it.

MiddleFingerMom was driving to the grocery store today when he saw a young woman driving & texting.

.

MiddleFingerMom would like to express a SPECIAL thank you to Kali -- who, without being asked...

.
.
.
... went over to his house while he was in the hospital and put up his outside Christmas lights.

Probably the last MFM Hospitalization Thread (at least for THIS incident):

.
.
.
I'm back home. YAAAAAAAYYYYYYYY!!!!!
It was kind of an ordeal waiting for the last doctor -- he had been expected anywhere from
about 2 PM on -- he finally showed up after 8.
.
I FEEL much much better. I'm not nearly as short-of-breath as I was when I went in. Their
juggling of my meds seems to be working.
.
I gotta gush a little bit more about the staff at the hospital. Knowing I'm in pretty bad
financial times and knowing that I had to reorganize how I would get my healthcare (did I
mention that my COBRA insurance from work reached its 18-month cutoff date on
Wednesday -- I'm now without coverage of any kind). They gave me great suggestions on
how I can still be seen by my PCP at a heavily discounted rate. Best of all immediate help
was the fact that they arranged for me to get (on my departure) one full month of ALL my
medications from their pharmacy (and then my PCP can give me extended prescriptions out
to a year when I see her on the 18th).
.
Is that unreal or not?!?!?!?!?
.
I am incapable of gushing as much as that institution and its caregivers deserve!!!
.
Thank you all for the concerns and well-wishes and vibes and humor. You MAY know how
much it means to me and how much it helps, but I bet you're underestimating yourselves.
.
.
.
Now... where'd I leave that Jack Daniel's?
