I have one too. But no appetite. I tried to eat some rice last night and
couldn't. I did have toast for breakfast and that was a tad hard to eat.
But I needed a quick meal. Had to take the cats to the vet for a nail clip.

For dinner I had some turkey that was cut up fine with scissors and mixed
with some stuffing and gravy. It was soft enough to eat easily.

If I could, I would have chicken soup. That always made me feel better
when I was sick. But I can't have chicken any more.

I wanted some rice last night, but fell asleep before I made it. I should
make some for lunch.

This is some exciting stuff. How can we get an exciting life like Tom
Ungvarsky, the former UPS delivery guy? (who quit his job after one
full day because the step leading into the UPS truck was too high for
him to climb in and out of the truck).

I don't remember reading he quit. There was some post in which he
whined about how hard it is to get in and out of the trucks to take
packages to people's doors.

I was wondering what hot popsicles and ice chips were... I thought: a warm
mist humidifier filled with popsicles?

I am going to attempt to make soup (again), but now armed with a stick
blender.

Would I kid you? Well, yes, I would about some things. But this time
I'm serious. Here's his UPS story in a nutshell. A little bird told
me that all these messages (and more) were forwarded to the local UPS
truck depot there in Louisville and CC'd to his dispatcher Jessica And
he wonders why they don't call him. Gee, I can't see why more
companies aren't eager to hire Tom Ungvarsky.

There's also some other stuff about him getting fired from the
Louisville Public Health and Wellness department where he worked for 3
years in a basement as a Local Network Analyst making $47,652/year,
but we'll stick to the UPS job for now.

[enough to make you cry snipped]

Well I'll be .....
I did think you were having a lend of me but I shouldn't
have doubted you.

I've never had a stalker before; I didn't think my life was interesting
enough to attract one-- to be honest. (I don't count TJ, he's too
disorganized, disoriented,and easily distracted to stalk someone for any
length of time. He has trouble just staying on topic in a thread most the
time!)

As for stalkers, aren't they usually kinda unbalanced? Didn't that one that
kept breaking into Letterman's house off herself after a while? And of
course, there was Chapman, and Hinkley.

As for celery stalks, I hate them. Though cooked long enough in soup, is
bearable and not that noticeable. I can't stand it raw, even with peanut
butter. Too stringy and sour.

One guess which stool pigeon forwarded all those messages to the
company.

My professional observation is that you've been stalking an entire newsgroup, and a very busy one at that. You seem to relish imposing negative unwanted behavior on a significant number of people. It is not some isolated reactive behavior, but rather an obsessive/compulsive fixation, coupled with an irrational need to prevent anyone from avoiding your acting out, as evidenced by your frequent changing of names and addresses. These are signs that you may be suffering from a serious personality defect.

While professionally interesting to me on a theoretical basis, your issues as they relate to this group need to be addressed for practical reasons.

Your behavior seems to serve an overwhelming need for attention, regardless of quality. As a result you have been subjecting yourself to ridicule and retaliative harassment by those whose comfortable space you have invaded and are attempting to dominate. Furthermore you then compound the defective behavior with an amazing display of willful denial by issuing passive-agressive complaints about those who rightfully retaliate against you for abusing their group.

My educated guess based on what I have observed is that you may be suffering from borderline personality disorder. This is not to be trifled with as it is a serious mental disorder. I recommend seeking both a psychiatrist and clinical therapist at the earliest possible time, since your behavior clearly has caused and continues to cause you to experience some severe life problems. These are very likely to get worse if you do not receive treatment soon.

Personality disorders with features such as yours very often result in jails, institutions, and death since such patients tend towards significant irrational denial of their own behavior. Try not to be a statistic and seek professional help right away.

Sincerely,

Mariotus P. Stangbetzner, M.D., Ph.D.

Classic! Similar to what I did to Kuthe. I get extra points because Kuthe had an actual career path. I have to subtract points because he really had no chance being a success even without my help. Here's where he'll chime in and remind us he's making six figures, although he has virtually no experience as an RN and has already been fired once. But, you know, he also has that IS degree that qualified him to work on a help desk as tier 1 support (until he washed out of that). So he's actually doing Informatics now. Pretty strange hours for that, huh, Kuthe? But he's got Proof! He buys...wait for it...CHOCOLATE!

Maybe it's not new in Australia, but "lend of me" meant nothing here.
I thought he misspelled a word; but I had no idea what he was trying
to say in spite of giving him the misspell possibility

there are hundreds of posts here everyday. I didn't check in for a couple
days last week and there was over 600+. If some people can't help but pick
out a few piddly posts and focus on them for God knows what reason, then
those people have some issues. And not with the posts. Posts are easy to
avoid or filter out.

Dear Mr. MD. PhD... from what you posted, you need more help than he
does. So, don't bother trying to convince rfc that you're right, it's
a waste of time as far as anyone who is not insane is concerned. (not
talking to you, Chemo... unless you morphed/nynshifed to make the
other post too).

Yes, I think it's more an English/Australian phrase. Possibly NZ as
well... I was kinda hoping 'pulling their leg' was also unknown to
USAians, but apparently not

I didn't realise it was limited in its use until the issue was pointed
out and I went looking for it on google.

I also didn't realise that it is older Australians who use it.
I guess I'm now in the category of "older Australians".

'Death to all stalkers'

To be a warrior is not a simple matter of wishing to be one.
It is rather and endless struggle
that will go on to the very last moment of our lives.
Nobody is born a warrior,in exactly the same way that
nobody is born an average man.
We have to make ourselves into one or the other.
A warrior must only take care that his spirit is not broken.

Brush teeth with whitening tooth paste during your illness. Cold-Eze
sugar free zinc lozenges (Walmart.) Gargle with hot chicken broth, and
make a vapor tent over your cup and inhale chicken broth vapors. Avoid
at all costs fruit juices i.e. any and all carbs. You can also gargle
with a 50/50 mixture of water and that stuff in the dark brown bottle
:-) Ibuprofen to reduce inflammation.

Uh oh! Not being young and hip anymore, isn't the most fun of
conclusions reach. Next thing you know, you'll have too many gray
hairs to be pulling them out with tweezers.
