Also, my wife ran for and won a city council seat. Life is pretty solid. It's not too late to throw poop at the audience! Make comedy dangerous again! Lenny Bruce would be proud (and so would GG Allin). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 I don't know if Allin would be proud or just aroused... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next stop, corporate gigs! Absolutely! I'm ready to cash in on swearing at rich drunk people! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I am now a Zimbabwean Trillionaire. I remember getting one of those Zimbabwe hyperinflation notes a few years ago with a purchase at a coin shop. This was when the hyperinflation started to get real out of control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 I'm not sure the military is going to be much of an improvement over Mugabe, but hey, let's give it a chance. He's, um, insane beyond all reason to be blunt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bustronaut Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 My brother appears to have ghosted me after I came out to him. We've never had much of a relationship, but this is worse than my EXTREMELY Right Wing brother's reaction, which was "OK, cool." You're supposed to be the cool one, Ted. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 Aw, that's terrible. I can't even understand how that has to feel. Do what you have to do and stay strong as the saying goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My sister and I have never had much of a relationship and it does me a world of good to know that I'll never have to speak to that awful woman again.

Getting ghosted always hurts, but whenever you come out with anything, it can change their fundamental vision of who you are to them and that can take some time to process. It may not be so much a ghosting as it was a "whoa I need a moment" situation, and unfortunately only time can really tell. When I came out as trans about a decade ago, there were a lot of people that ghosted from my life, and some of them really hurt. A few of them came back later on once they processed the concept that GASP I'm a woman and realized not much changed aside from my hormone ratios and some slight physical differences. And confidence. I'm confident like whoa now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See, I barely have a relationship with my brother (I see him twice a year (Christmas in Dad's house and Christmas in Mum's house), and he barely speaks to me or acknowledges my existence. But we still buy each other Birthday presents every year, weirdly. I think maybe I might have done something that really pissed him off at one point and not realised, and he's waiting for me to apologise for it. But if so, I don't know what it is (and, knowing myself, I would probably rationalise it as me having been right to have done it anyway). Maybe he thinks I'm homophobic*, I dunno. * Which would make him the only person in the world to think that. The lads I used to work with were petrified of laughing if someone openly told a homophobic (or racist or sexist) joke, because they knew I wouldn't stand for that shit. And being the biggest and scariest guy in the room, if I don't stand for something... well, little Andy went from telling gay jokes one month, to greeting his gay friends by kissing them on the lips a month later, because he didn't want to piss me off any more than he already had. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 So I posted an anti-Trump story on Facebook yesterday and my mom shared it as if I'd written the article. I told her it wasn't my work, and she responded with this: Completely broke my brain. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been up and down, but the last two weeks have been steadily downhill. She would barely eat because it hurt her stomach, and anything more than dry toast caused some bad reactions out the other end. This morning.... this morning, she looks at me, dead eyes, and says, "I'm done." I'm in the process of calling her doctor, seeing if I can get her admitted for a few days to rest her gut and get her properly diagnosed. I feel like a failure as a caretaker, but Jesus wept every time before now I tried to convince her to call her doctor she'd get angry about it and I have long-standing PTSD with her anger issues. So, if you can spare a thought, I'd appreciate it. It sucks to be us at the moment. Sorry to hear this.

Lamp, broken circa 1988 Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 I wish I was lucky enough to say that right now is the first time a friend of mine has been stalked by some psycho creeper- or even the second- but I am not lucky.

Abolish the internet. One of the many reasons I go by my initials to this day. I hope your friend is safe. Update on Mom: Had an MRI this morning due to memory and balance issues. According to her, the technician would not confirm she had a brain, just said, "you'll hear from your doctor." Now starts the waiting. If we go by her (and my) history, the doctor will say there's nothing wrong. :-p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
