MJ's Zero to 5000 in No Time Flat!

[Connor002]

What happened to compassion?

It has been dying steadily, fault of a modern, more "edgy" media which has lead to the corruption of youth...

Sounds like fun! :lookaroun

It sounds fun up until the soccer, wind, and rain.

Bonny, do you have a good gynecologist? Some of the mood swings might be hormonal (although I just HATE it when doctors just assume that's the problem without doing any blood work to actually find out...) Panic attacks, though, are another story!

I am seeing one next week.....it's been 5 years *let the yelling commence* since I last did... the mood swings are because I have rapid cycling bipolar Disorder...which is getting more accentuated with all of the stress I've been under lately....I need ot go back on meds for it, but he wouldn't listen to me...

Not only youth. . .

Here in Florida (at least in my school district) we read The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe in sixth grade as part of the ciricculum (I'm not sure if the school structures are the same on the isles, but if not, that's about 11-12 years of age). We definitely learned that CS Lewis was a Christian and that TLtWatW was some sort of allegory, but that's about as far as we were allowed to go into it legally in a public school.

I just wonder why it's so hard for people to accept that the guy just came up with the stories to get his kids to sleep. :lookaroun

Ha! :lol:
That's funny Connor!

 

[Connor002]

Not only youth. . .

It begins at youth, as adult are more set in their ways.
The problem is that the youth have aged.
Now they hold the power.

Hm?

I am absoultely appalled by his attitude. If you don't get an appointment with another psychiatrist before then, tell your gynecologist about the bipolar disorder! My gynecologist has always been more concerned with my overall health than our GP - and I firmly believe it's because he is far more in tune with women's health issues in general! Far better-informed, as well.

I am worried about you, Bonny.

Well that's true too. But there's also the symbolism in it.

I'm worried too Mary....I was really hoping I'd get help today...

I know.....it's been way too long....I've been so focused on MJ, plus I am scared of OB/GYN's.....so it's been a double whammy....

 

[Connor002]

Well that's true too. But there's also the symbolism in it.

You can also find symbolism in a lightbulb, ant, and paper clip.

Symbolism, allegories, etc. are just crazy tactics devised by evil English teachers to make their students' lives as miserable as theirs.

Why are you scared.... I love my ob/gyn

If that's how you view symbolism, you're going to hate the Da Vinci Code.

English teachers are AWESOME. I'm had some great ones.

And symbols are not made up. I highly doubt the Aslan resurrection scene mirrors that of Jesus Christ's so perfectly on accident.

I agree. I prefer to read stories, poems, etc. for what they are, not what they could be.
