chickpea... um... ok.

?


dunno where that fits in with the thread...


?


jlf1961, i get that at times. people ask why am i in a chair, and sometimes i just say "because i like to get out of bed", or, "what? your jealous?" i kinda have a temper created when it comes to disabled people being disrespected by ones who aren't disabled. people used to throw sodas and milkshakes on me, until i started throwing back. one time a van was just sitting and parked. the driver waved at me and asked how my day was. i waved back and said alright and went back to watching traffic so i can cross the street eventually. then the same van, while watching me, didnt drive until after i was at the edge of the street trying to cross it. i had to pull back to keep from getting hit, and she barely missed my chair by about 1/2 an inch. i punch into the side of the van when she stopped for the stop sign, of which was 3 feet to my right. i did stay put incase she wanted to call the police... i stayed there for 10 minutes, she didn't come back. now when she sees me, she will stop and wait for me to finish crossing the street. in my picture you'll see that my pinky isn't lined up with the other fingers, i broke my hand when i put a dent in that van.

my profile says i'm submissive, and i totally am, but when people want to disrespect me, or my friends, i will stand up to that person, and yes, i can stand too. i just can't walk without a forearm crutch, my spine has been falling apart for the last 13 years, but was finally diagnosed properly a little over 4 years ago, nothing can be done to fix it because it wasn't caught and treated in time. i'm gradually losing ability to walk, and each day that i can move my legs on my own is a blessing.

when someone asks "why do you have that?" or "why are you in a chair?", that person needs to answer there own question.... "because they need it", or "because of a physical issue that can't be seen", or the most obvious answer... "because it helps them get around"

laters,
bscootin

I have absolutely no tolerance for people who:
- chew food with their mouth open
- snap chewing gum or blow bubbles constantly
- wear too much perfume, etc
- allow their children to run around in a restaurant
- allow children to kick the back of my seat "anywhere"
- constantly tell their children to stop doing something "or else" but "or else" never happens

I work front desk at a hotel.. I have no tolerance for the idjits that come in to check in, and yak away on their cellphones for 5 minutes while I stand there waiting for them to give me enough of their attention to get them checked in! 

(actually.. I've started walking away from the desk now..)

I have lost tolerance for my sister, who just won Dumbass of the Year Award for the following actions:
  • Got stung by a bee at her house while she was getting ready to head out to meet her ex-husband so she could get her UMs from him after their scheduled visit this weekend.
  • Started to develop difficulty breathing
  • Called an ambulance (she lives out in the boonies)
  • Called me up in a panic saying she can't breathe
  • Took Benadryl & Prednisone tablets per my advice (she doesn't have an Epi-Pen)
  • Allowed EMTs to give her a couple nebulizer treatments upon their arrival
  • Called me up and had me talk to the paramedics, who told me that she said she was feeling much better now and refusing to transport to the hospital where I was supposed to meet her, even after the risks of not going were explained to her. [sm=wtf.gif]
  • Refused to listen to me after I also explained what could happen and also explained to her that I don't have the money to bury her ass and if she dies, her ex-hubby gets the UMs (last place they need to be) and there'd be nothing I could do about it (at this point, I figured a little brutal honesty couldn't hurt). [sm=banghead.gif]
  • Told me she's driving into town to meet her ex-hubby to pick up the UMs and that she'd take more prednisone tablets if she started feeling funny [sm=ofcourse.gif]
  • Just couldn't understand why I was upset with her when she called me from her car on the way into town and then she hung up on me. [sm=gaah.gif]

How to handle her?  Hmmm....I'm thinking a smack upside her head would be lovely, though I seriously doubt it'd knock any sense into her hard head. [8|]  [sm=pigsfly.gif]   [sm=sigh.gif]
 
Congratulations, sis!  You are hereby recognized as Dumbass of the Year.  You win this lovely trophy [sm=champ.gif]  and a certificate for you to frame and proudly display in your living room featuring an artist's rendering of you with your head up your ass, which is where it seems to be most of the time these days [sm=ass.gif][sm=hair.gif][sm=anger.gif]
 
 
Sorry for the rant [&o]

srrsly ? set limits. You can not control the decisions your sister makes, but you can control her effect on your life. Tell her that in the future, she is not to call you if she is just going to ignore the advice of the EMTs, because you don't deserve to deal with guilt of being a part of her suicide, the grief should be enough.
My Grandmother tends to ignore even very serious symptoms at night, but then talk the next morning about how she could not breath, was having chest pains, ect. She lives with my sis and there is a moniter in her room, and she wears an emergency notification button, so all she has to do is yell out, or push a button, - pick one.
If you tell her that it must not have been serious, she gets very agitated and tries harder to worry you with how close to death she was. So I tell her that, if it is not serious enough to deal with when it happens, it is not serious enough to tell me about, then i walk away. It works.

Thank you for the advice.  My sister left me the following offline last nght on Messenger:
 
"I can tell by the tone of your voice that you are mad; and I understand that. But I wish you would trust my judgement. I'm not about to do anything to put my life in danger. So chill out. :-P  I'm sorry if I scared you. >:D< "
 
I hope you don't mind, tsatske, but I borrowed your words to use in my response because I don't think I could have said it any better or made my position any clearer to her in my response:
 
"I fully trust your judgment; hence from now on, in the future, you are not to call me if you are just going to ignore the advice of EMTs/other medical professionals, because I don’t deserve to deal with the guilt of being a part of your suicide. The grief after you’re gone is enough."
 
"I love you and don't want to lose you, but it is your body and your life. I watched Dad make foolish choices ultimately leading to His early demise. Don't ask me to be an accomplice in yours. I can't do it again :(( "
 
To the OP, I apologize again for venting here.  I should have taken it to the Off Topic Discussions instead.

Actually, I feel it was quite on topic.

You see, all the people that we have brought up have really stressed us out in many ways.  Not only was this thread to list those people, but to give us all a chance to vent, since to do so in public would either get us banned from the establishment, or even jailed.

As for your sister, you did and said the right thing.

I admit, with my history, I am usually the one that the family gets mad at, you see, though I have been sober for close to ten years, one sister still considers me a bum.  She complains about the fact I have not used my masters in history, gone back for my doctorate, taken a job as befitting a person with my intelligence and education, and basically abused myself with manual labor and hard work that was beneath my abilities to the point that I have created health problems that actually limit my activities.

The simple truth of the whole matter is that I was, for the most part, happy, enjoyed the jobs I had, and in one field had developed a reputation that actually had people seeking out my services, and in connection the services of my boss and the business owner.

What more could someone ask for?



bscootin -> RE: Okay, so I really have no tolerence for some types of people.... (6/16/2008 4:05:01 PM)

the only one person who gets on my biggest and main nerve, is my neighbor... oh geesh! it's hard for me to sleep, i have to wait until i fall asleep, or i won't sleep at all. my neighbor has this majorly annoying habbit that when she gets drunk, she comes over here to my apartment, and begs me for me call an ambulance... she lives by herself, and only has a tv and her cooking for entertainment - no phone, no internet, she barely knows how to work the tv remote, so no on the computer too.

it doesn't matter, day or night, i could have JUST dozed off, "knock knock knock" and if i DON'T answer the door, she'll just sit on my porch and keep knocking - so finally i do call 911, get an ambulance over here, and while the ambulance is coming, i'm chewing her tail end off, telling her how i am sick of the crap she's doing. as i said, she lives by herself, she has her two daughters that comes by every week, and weekends, but then when they don't come by when she expects them to, she'll get drunk and have anxiety attacks like crazy. she'll walk over to my door, and cry that she can't walk, and she'll be crying that her arthritis is acting up - I'M NOT STUPID!

i'm 28 years old and i have aches, pains, throbs, burns, and knife feelings all day and all night long - and i don't have any pain medicine simply because no doctor, no medicine - i have learned to focus on other things then i end up forgetting i have pain.

i told her last time that if she came over here again wanting me to call 911, i'm going to see to it that the police come, not an ambulance. so far it's been 3 weeks since i've seen her - and she normally comes by about once a week.

if something was really wrong with her, then i'd understand, but it's just her wanting to be drunk - trying to pull me in into her drama - and i'm not having it, i'm sick of it. and i let her know it too.

Hey I can relate..worse, most of my disabilities are NOT visible ones, but I have a permanent handicap parking permit. Some of them have to do with neuropathy in my left inner ear, and my legs. Sometimes I need a cane, sometimes I don't, sometimes I need to use oxygen to be outside, sometimes not, but it is always in the car. Sometimes I walk like I am drunk but I am not, I am diabetic, and can't feel my legs and feet at times, can't steer because of my left ear and need to have clear sight to keep on course. This means often my arms cannot block my view of the floor by holding stuff in them. I walk slower than most people and will often grab a power chair at the store if I need to move quicker. BUT because none of this is visible, people glare at me when I pull into a handicap spot, or grab the power chair or walk slower than they want to move. If they challenge me however to leave the spot for someone who is handicapped..or the power chair..my response is simple..

"I'm sorry, I have handicaps you can't see, but  they affect me just like your mental handicap affects your ability to develope manners or think"

Not every handicap is visible, such as heart problems ( I have minor ones but they do affect me)..people really need to consider that.

I Hate
Receptionists who answer the phone with "Dr. So and So, can you hold?" and then place you on hold for 3-5 minutes before you can even say yes or no.

Electronic Receptionist that require you to go through 3 to 8 levels of menu to get where you want to go, put you on hold for that department complete with commercials for the business you are already dealing with and then disconnect you requireing you to go through the whole thing all over again.

bscootin -> RE: Okay, so I really have no tolerence for some types of people.... (6/17/2008 1:47:00 PM)

UGH, i have tried to type this two other times, and some how my browser backed up and i ended up on the front page of collarme.

i'm going to try to type this... AGAIN

i went to the center today (it's a daycare - for disabled adults) and when i got back i went to the store, and i kind of stayed in the veggie section - i wasn't wanting to buy anything, but i didn't want to stay home. then a mother and a kid came around the corner of the deli of which is just right there beside the veggie section... the mother started giving her order to the cashier lady, and while she was doing that - her son decided to come over and wipe his snot onto my shirt, so before he walked off, i grabbed his shirt, and wiped his snot from my shirt onto his shirt, and i stayed put, because i knew the mother was going to get involved one way or another. heh... i was right. the idiot brat went screaming to his mom (of which was about 9 feet away) saying that i tried to kidnap him.

(IF I WAS going to kidnap him, it would probably be to spank his ass raw until he learned some manners)

the mother wanted the manager to call the police, i kept my mouth shut the entire time, i didn't nod or shake my head no to anything other than the manager saying how sorry he was about this. the manager KNOWS me, and he knows exactly where i live, and he knows i won't go far no matter what. the police showed up, seperated me, the mother, and the boy - and at that time i let the officer know what happened, very simple "that child wiped his snot on my shirt, so i wiped it on his shirt - he doesn't have to wash my laundry, but i do, and it takes money to wash laundry when you don't have a washer to speak of, much less a dryer." the officer snickered, and all the officers got together and compared notes - the mother thought i was trying to kidnap her son - but the son refused to tell his mom what exactly i did - i wiped his snot back onto HIS SHIRT... and when she found this out from an officer, she tried to come and tell me i'm a liar and her son is well behaved, and she said i was ill-mannered. heehee, then i reached into my purse and pulled the hearing aids out, and put them in, THEN i actually spoke... "MA'AM - YOUR SON CAME AND WIPED HIS SNOT ON MY SHIRT... IF THAT IS WELL BEHAVED, I'D HAD TO SEE WHAT HE'S LIKE MISBEHAVED!" (yes, i yelled it - i wanted to emphasize that i was deaf)

all the officers and the manager was laughing - and the manager was even padding my shoulder... she said "well, hmpft, i won't do my shopping here anymore. this store has shown me disrespect, and has given me nothing but ill-mannered treatment, and hassle, and the customers are worthless and lower than scum." the manager knew i wanted to hit her, so he padded the shoulder of the officers and they all turned around, i stood up and i got in her face, i said "woman, you brought it on yourself, if you would  have taught your son to not wipe his snot on perfect strangers' tshirts, then you wouldn't have had to talk with the manager or the police, and if you think of saying one more smart ass thing to me, then i will punch your face in, so help me!" the boy is standing in the corner laughing, and i saw it from the corner of my eye, i pointed to the boy and i let her have a lecture

i said "MY SON IS 4 YEARS OLD HAS MORE CLASS THAN YOUR KID, WHEN I WAS 2 YEARS OLD, I HAD MORE CLASS THAN YOUR KID. you see him LAUGHING? he knew he'd make you cause a scene - what ever the hell is going on in your life you had BETTER STRAIGHTEN IT UP, because this child of yours LOVES TO SEE FIGHTING - and it gives him comfort, how safe do you think the town is if he is grown up and he still thinks fighting is a good thing? he could kill someone and think it's good. YOU ARE NOT BEING A MOTHER, you are not even trying to pretend to be a babysitter, and you actions show you do not love your child. the entire world has laws, and rules, and regulations - OF WHICH IS INTENDED to keep everyone safe, and to make sure everyone is given the ability to LEARN, ACCEPT, GIVE, SHARE, AND INCREASE their dignity - and from what i've seen so far, YOU AND YOUR SON HAVE NO DIGNITY, SO IF YOU LEAVE THIS STORE, IT'S YOUR OWN DAMN FAULT, YOU SELFISH WRENCH!"

she slapped me and the officers turned around and i waved at the manager, and the manager and the officers turned around... by now i have backed her into the swinging doors in the back of the store, and if there was a crowd there, i didn't notice it, and neither did she.

my leg buckled under me and i fell, the manager brought my chair to me, and the lady was standing there shocked, she was in tears, and her mouth was open a little bit, she didn't move or speak for like maybe a full 3 minutes... then she started to tell me she was sorry i told her "IT'S NOT ME that you need to apologize to - there's your son, correct him when he's wrong, give him hugs when he's right, and if you and your hubby fight - do it outside when he's sleeping and can't hear you. you need to apologize to the officers who wasted their time to show up and listen to all this, and you need to apologize to the manager - because he runs this store with the upmost pride and dignity with quality service, and customer satisfaction, and he works very hard to keep it that way."

then i rolled off...

maybe she graduated from "i'm a retard" class to "oh my god... i'm so blonde" class.

i hope she learned, and i wish nothing but the best for that boy.

A friend of mine was recently in line in WalMart.  He was in the 10 items or less line and the man in front of him had a full cart.  As the man placed item number ten onto the belt ad reached for another my friend announces in a very clear voice, "That would be item eleven.  Since this is ten items or less I would recomend not placing eleven items on the belt.  Should you ignore this advice, I will smash you in the head with a jar of pickles."
The man began to say something so my friend repeated his pickle threat.  The other customer looked at the sales girl who said, "I'm sorry, Sir.  I can't control the actions of other customers but I would be more than willing to call a manager."
Looking at my friend and the large jar of pickles he was holding, the man grabbed his stuff and switched lanes.



bscootin -> RE: Okay, so I really have no tolerence for some types of people.... (6/18/2008 12:46:39 PM)

knight, that was funny. heehee

coming home today, the end of my road is blocked off because workers are cutting trees down and doing their job. i don't like to be around those machines simply because even though i can't hear them, the vibration in the air from the loud engines hurt my ears. but, i had to go through their work, i hate that i had to, but i did anyways, i'm having a few friends come over, and i needed a few more things from the store. i didn't want the icecream or cottage cheese to go bad. so i went along an old sidewalk that nature has overgrown, making it crack and bent, and grass was growing over it. when i got past that, a guy tried to give me help - i understand his mind was in the right place, but he was supposed to be doing his job, so i wanted to do my job on my own. i had to use the restroom and didn't really have time to be nice, so i waved at him and told him i was fine. and i got through the grass and made it to the nearest sidewalk of which i used to help me finish getting home.

yes, i roll backwards in my chair - when i don't have a powerchair - there's really no other way for me to go - that will get me where i need to be, without depending on someone else to take me. and i discovered today that i can even roll backwards through the grass! heehee...

welp, laters all,

BlackPhx -> RE: Okay, so I really have no tolerence for some types of people.... (6/18/2008 2:12:58 PM)

Bscootin, Kudos to you on your handling of the mother and child and to your independence. Frankly, the mother should have been arrested for the assault and battery she committed on you. Perhaps, if she had been the lesson about consequences would have sunk in more for her and perhaps trickled down to her child. It is never permissable to strike another person without their consent, especially in FRONT of a POLICE OFFICER. She would have potentially seen her behavior as out of control and so would Jr., instead he has just learned he can not only manipulate his mother into this type of confrontation BUT, there are no consequences for striking another person, with or without a physical challenge in their life. 

A small observation, there is nothing wrong with accepting a hand from another person. Yes the gentleman had a job to do and yes you could handle your chair, however, IF you had been injured by flying debris, overturned by debris etc from the job they were doing, not only would the company contracted for the job have been liable for any treatment and potentially to a lawsuit, but so would the city if it was city contracted. Part of their job is to make sure such injuries do not occur or that they have at least tried to lower the risk. Sometimes it is hard to accept help. Hell I have trouble doing that with Master and despite Docs orders to remain in bed or whatever the latest restriction they place on my life after they have played Frankenstein with me, I tend to insist on getting up and trying to cook, clean, etc. until he chains me down.

Let them help..makes them feel good, lowers their level of risk regarding you being injured, and it doesn't stop you from doing the 600 other things you do daily. Remember it takes two for a Boy Scout to earn his merit badge for good citizenship (aka crossing little ol ladies).

bscootin -> RE: Okay, so I really have no tolerence for some types of people.... (6/18/2008 9:59:28 PM)

LMAO knight... FAME... lol lmao...

poenkitten and blackphx - i'm too stubborn in that sense of knowing where my line should be kept back to allow others to give assistance when they ask, or when they just simply want to. that's sorta why i'm looking for a "master" sort of person - but i don't want to move in with that person. obviously my city is too small for the bdsm interests.

i've debated a few times about moving, but bottom line as to why i stay put is what's in the message to your master. i'm waiting to see my son when he's grown, and i'm wanting to keep my security in knowing i'll never be homeless again.

everyone on here is mainly looking for a move in - and if the gas prices don't stop rising in the next few months i might very well consider moving - giving a 7 to 14 day trial period. because of the lease agreement, if i'm not home for 14 days, my apartment will be considered abandoned, and they'll clean it out and prepare it for some one else, unless i call and keep contact with them once a week to let them know i'm on vacation. only reason why i'm saying this - is because i hear about the gas prices, i don't drive, but i'm beginning to feel bad for those that do drive.

BUT, IF i did do that, the person would have to understand that i'm not leaving my kitten behind... lol... he's almost 3 months old, and i love him... you'd all laugh if ya'll knew how i treat him. (and yes, it's all clean - no beastiality) but one of the ways is he likes to be held on his back, as if i'm holding him as a baby, and then he likes his stomach rubbed while i'm holding him baby style. LOL... also, he'll get on my stomach/chest area, and i'd wrap him up with my shirt i have on, almost making him a kangaroo pouch, and he'll sleep in that for like 2 hours straight... he'll watch movies with me too. i can pick him up in any way shape form or fashion, and he'll start purring... but when some one else picks him up, he'll jump down. he's an inside cat, and if someone decided to try it out for a week or 2 to see if we would work out, then he'd have to let me keep my kitten indoors. he's not fixed yet, i intend to do that in the near future. i'm waiting for finances to not hit overdraft at the bank...

oh well, life happens. 

i might have given tmi here, but - it's my way of thinkin outloud. in regular emails on  yahoo, i "think outloud" in my emails all the time. i don't have anyone to bounce ideas off with, not really. and it would be nice if i did have someone for that as well.

laters,
bscootin
