 :lol: haha!
My H says he learned how to tell people to FO at work just by looking at them. I tried to learn it too but some women won't take FO for an answer. They'd go so far that I would have to be direct and confrontational. There's definitely a difference in the way (crazy) women and men do this type of junk isn't there?

The "I WANT!!! GIMME!!!!" is probably okay behaviour for toddlers though. :P

I woke up today realising that I know/knew three people who pass the 'hoarder' disorder test (read an article on it last night) (and it only affects c.2% of the population?). Funny how things gel overnight! Now I should attack my pile of papers... :D

LOL!!!   :lol:

Sometimes I wonder if the morons screaming "I WANT!!!!  GIMME!!!" are probably toddlers in their own minds!!!!  I often get tempted to ask:  "What are you?!?!?!  SIX?!?!?!?!?"

BTW, I'm still attacking my piles of papers.

Took some time out yesterday to go watch the movie:  "The King's Speech".  That one piece of dialogue, "I HAVE A VOICE!" that the King yelled really resonated with me!  EXCELLENT movie!!!!!!!!!

Thanks, Hops!

I also found it quite interesting that Edward VIII and Wallis Warfield Simpson were being portrayed as two self-centered, self-absorbed N's.

QUOTE from different thread by Bones: 

  "LOL!!!

I would say that NWomb-Donor sounds ANAL-RETENTIVE.  She can't let go of her own $h*t and focuses on her dog's instead.

Bones"


Bones, that is sort of interesting that you say that term Anal-retentive. I never really believed in Freud, but I am starting to wonder if there is something to it?

I haven't studied child development or psychology so much as a whole.

Is Anal-retentiveness a real thing? Do children go through a stage where they are focused on their bowel movements....and if so...I wonder if my mother is stuck in that stage?.......Geeze who knows.

I'm reading the wikipedia definition of anal retentiveness and I see that there is also "Anal-expulsiveness" So now I'm laughing again.

Freud is funny at least.

 :D

Freud was an interesting dude, to say the least.  I've known quite a few people who I would consider anal-retentive.  Children do go through stages of development and usually grow out of them.  And then there are those who not only stay stuck, they try to force others to stay stuck with them!  One person I encountered, decades ago, attempted to put laxatives in my food!!!!  I simply took them out and informed her that my plumbing was just fine, thank you very much!  However, I drew the line when she and her daughter attempted to give my newborn (not quite one-day-old) godson, (their grandson/great-grandson), laxatives because THEY believed he wasn't going to the bathroom enough!!!  That's when I told both of them that if they EVER touched that baby with ANY laxatives, I would knock them both through a brick wall!!!  I was LIVID!!!!

While coming home from a meeting last night, I experienced a PTSD trigger with flashback while passing a car repair place I used to patronize decades ago.  It was about needing some work done on my first car and struggling to find the money for it.  I made the mistake of asking her Royal Queen @#$!-ness for help and got called every vile name she could invent for even DARING to ask for something I needed, regardless of what it was!  (Sound familiar?)  Then shortly after that incident, her Royal @#$!-ness called me, talking SYRUPY, TREACLY, SWEET  :P wanting me to drive her and her (equally N) sister about 100 miles away to visit someone that I never knew, (my aunt-by-marriage) because SHE, (the NQueen $#@!), was SO CONCERNED for this relative's welfare.  [FYI:  This stranger and my uncle were divorced while I was still an infant so I have no memories of ever meeting nor interacting with her.  From that point onward, her Royal @#$!-ness would NEVER mention this aunt's name without cursing and spitting!  As far as the NWomb-Donor was concerned, my aunt-by-marriage was no better than a pile of dog $h*t!]  Fast forward about two and a half decades...the uncle, NWomb-Donor's brother, had died shortly before this sickeningly sweet phone call, (he had shot himself).  With his death, NWomb-Donor no longer had a source to obtain "fresh $h*t" to smear my aunt-by-marriage with.  (Do you see where she was trying to go?  I did!  She simply wanted to USE me as a convenient tool to get at this relative who had moved on WITHOUT NWomb-Donor's permission!)  By this time, gas prices were skyrocketing out of control and I did NOT have a good paying job!

When I suggested that we split the costs three ways, NWomb-Donor attempted to con me with:  "BUT........you're FAMILY!"  (I'm thinking silently:  "How CONVENIENT for YOU, you F*CKING BITCH!"  Instead of saying that, I voiced:  "Have you seen the prices at the gas pumps lately?!?  I can't afford to pay the total expense, out of my pocket, making a 200-mile round trip, to go visit someone THAT I DON'T EVEN KNOW!!!"  She abruptly ended the phone call, stating she needed to call her sister, (the other N).  Five minutes after that, I get ANOTHER phone from her Royal Queen $#@!-ness calling me the usual vile names because I DARED ask to split the cost of this 200-mile round trip!   :P  Was I surprised?  NOT!!!!  I was so grateful that I was living in my own apartment by this point, out of her reach, so she couldn't attempt to beat me into submission like a slave again!  Unfortunately, it did not stop her poisonous smearing mouth as she substituted me for the aunt-by-marriage and ramped up her slander and vitriolic verbal abuse because I DARED TO DEFY HER ROYAL $#@!-ness!   :evil:

And ain't it a relief, that it's all in the past - and not happening now - anymore?

Pity those of us who have to - or are trying to - maintain some kind of "civil relationship" with those people, in the interest of business or our own mental health (sounds like, but isn't an oxymoron).
Success is never final, failure is never fatal.

PTSD can be quite complicated to deal with when I never know what is going to trigger a flashback.  It's NOT fun!

Out of curiosity, I did a Google map of how far it REALLY is between where we lived at the time and where this aunt-by-marriage lived back then.  According to Google Map, the distance was over 200 miles ONE WAY and it would have been at least a FOUR AND A HALF HOUR ROAD TRIP which would have meant over a FOUR HUNDRED MILE ROUND TRIP WITH TWO N's with me for OVER NINE HOURS, including the visit with the aunt-by-marriage!!!  MY GOD WHAT A NIGHTMARE THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN!!!!   :shock:

I dodged a bullet!!!!

Yeah, Bones...

I know about those flashbacks. You're right - not fun. I don't know what I did - or what changed - but they are so much less frequent for me now, that I could "almost" say... I don't have them anymore. Mine seem to still exist on the emotional wavelength... I'll get "that feeling" again, you know? Then, I go crazy trying to figure out why the present situation reminds of the past...

Yeah, P.R.

I think being able to talk about PTSD flashbacks here helps to lessen the frequency of them.  It's good to know we are not alone!
