in Square One / Happy 74th Birthday to Kate Millett on Southern Discomfort
I adore Kate Millet and her book The Loony-Bin Trip about being bi-polar and her struggles with hospitals and lithium, while not generally talked about, was such a great thing for me to find and to read.

vmarinelli It was a valuable book for me too. Then in 1993 I had the experience of visiting her in St. Paul and having her A) scream at my girlfriend and me, calling us whores and the like; B) throwing furniture in my direction (which did not hit me, but did break apart on the floor), and C) finally slip from her drunken rage (e.g., she passed out on the floor).

So it added, shall we say, a different perspective on the mental illness issue than that which I'd read in The Loony Bin Trip.

in Southern Discomfort / I had also considered “Scotch and Prune Juice” on Southern Discomfort
So I should just keep it in my blogroll as "I can't pick a name Victoria Marinelli."

in Wonder on Southern Discomfort
Awesome photo. Oh and hey-I signed up with twitter to follow the stuff going on at the RNC (lots of friends at the protests-awesome idea for mass protests, IMHO, since you can get phone updates) but I don't know if you want to follow me, but I'd like to be able to talk with you in that weird short sentenced way. (I'm Burrow over there.)

I totally go for lemon water too. I personally hate water (see other comment on juice addiction).

I'm addicted to juice (the organic kind-lemonade's only $1/bottle now, always happens in the summer) and berries like blueberries. If you're gonna compulsively snack (I do at times) I think blueberries are a good route.

I do some sitemeter checks, but generally they are all searches for inducing miscarriages with vitamin c.

vmarinelli Well, now I know where to go if I ever needed that info. (Though thankfully the husband is fixed.) (Of course, he calls it "broken," ha ha.)

in Biting my tongue until it damn near bleeds on Southern Discomfort
I'm trying not to go into the Obamabot type arguments, but in one post I did point out two different times when I was told I was being dumb or 'over sensitive' for call people out on ablist and sexist remarks. *sigh* I try to always make sure that people know that I am not painting everyone with a huge brush, since there are people like you (not the majority of people my posts attract ha ha).

But I love you, and you know that. *mwah*

Awesome comment. I fear to click the link as I think I like being blissfully unaware.
