The original, and only official one to my knowledge, is our long lost

Jim, looks like you're stuck with Old Codger. Or maybe Ol' Codger.

(I've been wondering ... why don't you put a space between your first and
last name?)

Au contraire Sheryl, au contraire...over the years you have posted
scores of intimate details about your life on this group - enough so
that to many here your life is a virtual "open book". So please don't
take umbrage when someone here might take it upon themselves to
"analyze" your particular "situation", you provided *all* the details
yourself.

Victorians would for laughs visit the Bedlam Lunatic Asylum. Whilst
touring the vile place they would poke and prod some of the more

Bedlam, RKO Studios, 1946, Boris Karloff. Good example of your

Yup, the casting possibilities are *endless*. BTW IIRC _Bedlam_ is due
for a DVD release next month. Those Val Lewton films done on a budget
are some of the scarier ones around:

The Val Lewton Horror Collection: (Cat People / The Curse of the Cat
People / I Walked with a Zombie / The Body Snatcher / Isle of the Dead
/ Bedlam / The Leopard Man / The Ghost Ship / The Seventh Victim /
Shadows in the Dark)

Greg, did you know that there is a genetic component to bipolar disorder?
Yes, it's true. My family's riddled with it. So far, I'm the only one
getting help.

I've always like the Val Lewton films. I was a child when I first saw Cat

Yup, I know whole families who are riddled it with...unfortunately all
too few seek the help that would allow them to live decent lives. A
good friend was diagnosed a whiles back (at the urging of some of us)
and got help, life is SO much better for this person now! This person
has pretty much cut off all contact with other family members who show
bipolar tendencies, thus his quality of life has improved immeasurably.

Interestingly, one thing that I have run into on Usenet is people who
are apparently suffering from some form or other of Narcissistic
Personality Disorder. Now that is scary :-|

Thank you for helping your friend. Life is miserable for an unmedicated
bipolar and for everyone who makes contact with them. My remaining family
members self-medicate with alcohol, and like your friend, I'm no longer
part of their lives.

Those people are frightening to me, too. There appears to be a correlation
between NPD and Anti-Social Personalities, previously known as Sociopaths,
previously known as Psychopaths. No conscience.

IMO they pretty much taste like the root only more mild. They are best
when they are young - pick them off the plant when they are 4 inches
tall or less. Very tasty in salad!

Most of those attached to the root in stores are old and scraggly, more
bitter and not as flavorful.

Yup! I can in all honesty say though, that I don't get myself all in knots
over anything or anytone I come across on Usenet. That'd steal all the fun
out of it!

Was off work for a few days on hols, came back to shit-loads of work/hassles
and have been busy trying to get straight again = not much time for the
groups.

Regarding the chiles - thanks lots for thinking of me Cathy, but not only is
our kitchen full to bursting with heaps of dried chiles in bags, jars and
bottles, we also have our 25+ plants all fruiting now! Gonna be a bit chiled
out by the end of harvest, heheh...

In fact we're gonna have to seriously free up some freezer space to be able
to keep them raw but good until we get chance to process them all into
products, which means I have a helluvah lot of apple cider to get brewing,
since the big freezer has about 50 to 100lb of apples all but holding the
lid open at the moment... anyone in Lancashire got a small cider press to
lend me? Sheesh... heheheh...

I'm sure there's someone else who could make much better use of them than we
could at the moment. Again, thanks a lot though ',;~}~

Hope yer well me dear!

Yup, this would be me. :-)

Very interesting reading. I once dated a narcissist. When I described him
to my therapist, I was advised that he was a dangerous man who I should
avoid contact with at all costs. I found out later that he beats women. I
was fortunate in that regard.

Actually those with certifiable mental disorders are LEAST likely to
assertain personality disorders in others (fact is they're incapable),
that's the manifestation that makes them psychotic in the first place,
that they're incapable of recognizing reality.

If being capable of trustworthyness, honesty, and intimacy is a
personality flaw than I suppose Sheryl is guilty, we should all be so
guilty.

There's a very big difference between simply informing with objectivity
the events one experiences and blaming ones life dissappointments on
their mental disorder... one is responsible, the other irresponsible...
ones discourse is biographical fact, the other fictitious/fairy tale...
guess which is which.

Mental illness is a reason, not an excuse. I believe that there is some
virtue in seeking help and following the prescribed regimen. Living in
denial of a treatable condition is irresponsible.

Very well thanks. It is supposed to be spring over here now, but you
could have fooled me. We had a very mild July (which is usually very
cold - in our terms) and then August wasn't too bad. But the weather has
come back today to give us a swift kick in the pants as if to say,
Gotcha! The reason I mention the weather is that we have managed to have
a few braais outside and I was getting used to the idea again. Very hard
to plan any "weekend" feeding frenzies when the weather is unpredictable.

Simply amazing the high falootin' euphemisms that have been concocted
to describe what in fact is "Lazy Spoiled Irresponsible Brat Syndrome".

Whatever happened to "Temper Tantrum" and "Hissy Fit"... now they call
it "Manic", and "feelin' sorry for yourself/craving pity" is now
"Depressed". Awwww, po' baby. Bipolar is nothing a stint in the
military can't cure.

Sheldon, you ignorant slut.

Bipolar disorder is PROVEN to be caused by a chemical imbalance in the
brain.

You're making a fool of yourself. This would be a good time to quietly
slip into obscurity until everyone forgets what an assinine statement you
just made.

*Everything* composing a living organism is chemical. duh

All behaviours (including anti-social) can be altered chemically, with
nicotine, booze, grass, all sorts of narcotics/opiates including a
litany of prescription drugs, and *everything* one ingests/eats... of
course then new behaviours emerge, including new anti-social
behaviours. In any event, whichever route you take it's a catch 22,
whatever path you're not for real, none of your personas are genuine,
they're all manipulated chemically. *You* don't even know who you are.
Whatever you're taking the treatment is worse than the disease.
You're really quite ****ed up... the saddest part is you take great
pleasure in bragging unrelentlessly about how ****ed up you are, as
though it were something to be proud of... you're even ecstatic that
you hacked off your perfectly healthy tits... why don't you relate that
story again for the newbies, with all the gory details.... you know you
want to get more milage out of that sick saga. I mean like if you had
to mutilate yourself to get attention couldn't you do something within
the realm of normalcy, like getting some tattoos and/or body
piercings... no, you being totally brain bent had to find some butcher
who'd hack off your tits... did you at least dine on them, post the
recipe.

Whole birds are 6.99/lb, breasts are 16.99/lb. It's all Grimaud
Farms, a local brand.

http://www.grimaud.com/duck.htm

Andronico's also has a great selection of pretty much everything.
It's where I get capons, goose, quail, etc. They also have the
full selection of Clover Stornetta organic dairy products, the
only place in town I've found that does.

The only downside of A's are the prices...

OMG, I just figured it out! Sheldon is really Tom Cruise, posting
under a pseudonym! He knows the *history* of psychiatry, he knows all
*sorts* of things about mental illness that none of the rest of us
knows, because he's reached whatever-the-hell level it is of S*tology!


I don't know about the rest of you, but I am just in *awe* that Tom
Cruise would think enough of us to actually post here!

Tongue firmly in cheek...err...between lips...

You're a very odd little man. Your grip on reality is tenuous at best.

I wonder why my breasts are/were so extremely important to you. They were
way too large and almost certainly destined to become cancerous. Maybe I
should have had them preserved in jars of formaldehyde and mailed to you.

Keep trying, Buck-o. There is nothing you can say that can upset or hurt
me anymore. But give it your best shot.

In shelliebaby's case, he'd have to do without the brains, unless he
could work in a burned out cinder.

Oh don;t get me wrong! I'll fire off and tear some eejit a new one and sharp

To find that the work that came in while you were off has not been done, is

My former fiance loved scrambled brains & eggs and used to rail because he
couldn't find them on a breakfast menu anywhere. He never said anything
about kamoun, though. Just pepper and Tabasco. Now that I think about it,
he was merely covering up the taste

When I was in my 20s I had a summer job at a department store. In their
employee's cafeteria, they served scrambled brains and eggs for breakfast.
IIRC, I put pepper and Tabasco on it, too, but not enough to wipe out the
flavor. They were good.

When I was young, I had to constantly watch my mom and grandmother
cook up a batch of this every time we got together. I'm proud to say
I've never tried it.
