Im just trying to enlighten you. Not bait and troll.
Apology accepted if you can accept that
I didn't start the name calling but Im better at it. I got tired of being pushed around so I pushed back. i didnt write anything more insulting than anyone else. I made sure of it. I also tired of everyone bashing thom and bryen.
Yeah in my case im just a yahoo who likes goofin off
Cant use the empathy thing either cause I gave up my career to take care of my paralysed dad for the last four years of his life and wiped his ass and everything. .helped him through some serious shit..ongoing screaming pain shit and I mean for days and days at a time for 4 years that shit stays with you.I wake up 4-5 times every night. it was a 24 hour gig I was paid 12 but gave most to him..like$ 2200..1000 for him to blow on himself and the rest was for bills and groceries...for four years. .that's like 100, 000 bucks.made every meal cleaned everything.gave him his shots helped him into and out of the showet helped him through a near death pneminia helped him with all his home rehab he insisted on, by myself. he didn't have to do shit. I drove him to every doctor appointment and never asked him for one thing in return.hows that for empathy you maggot.
I was a home attendant before it was cool to be oneand there wasn't the support back then there is now I was a 'front line worker' 10 years ago if it weren't for me my dad would have been isolated in a nursing home and probably sedated.
And I got the ptsd to show for it 10 years later. It wwon't go away I've tried everything.
so whats up with your empathy nyc dave. Can you hang with the real?
And he was only in his late 50s when that was goin on so that was tricky too. I couldn't just tell him what to do. I had to be his son his dad his wife his everything
It ain't cool when you're dad is crying as you hold him its a tough spot in fact earlier I couldn't stop thinking about that..him crying.
So now im 'retired' and I grow and smoke kind bud all day...I get bye
Thanks Dave if you're trying to be cool I thought you were claiming all I care about is myself so I called you a maggot.
Sorry bout that and if you're being cool then I retract my sociopath comment as well.
g-reg, it sounds like you and I have been on the same shitty path, unfortunately. We were intimate caregivers to a family member (in my case more than one), suffered through whatever they suffered through, left our careers to take care of every need they had. My husband Greg wouldn't accept having anyone else around for some of the 8 years I cared for him, and no one for the last excruciatingly painful and difficult year. You and I were in pain while they were alive and we're still in pain now and our memories haven't faded. PTSD is real. Thanks for sharing your experiences, since as you know we are each the product of them. I get it.
I started writing this before your 12:56 post. You've been around first PZ and then here, and we've known you for a long time. What's happening now with you is new to us and kind of brutal. It's a tough time out there, and I know there are many of us who'd rather talk than be slapped. We all need each other and the few people who've been crappy to you... well, maybe they can back off, and you can back off, and we can move forward in some kinder way. And yes, love to you.
I feel like I was the one that died really I don't even know like I became him and gave up myself or something because it really changed me and really my personal life just went away and never really came back.. it was so hands on very intense requiring my full attention ..I mean there was a lot to juggle plus we had 3 dogs.and yeah he was grumpy from the pain and everything and boy could he hold a grudge.he burned bridges with his bro and sisters way before I got called in. They were not around.
But I will never forget how supportive you were to me then and sometimes think about you and greg andi do hope you're well.
G-Reg, it sounds like U have been going through some rough shit, like life has given you a tough row to hoe.
I appreciate your (if I'm being cool)apology. I'm not looking to fight with U. Knowing that no good deed goes unpunished, I would like to make a humble suggestion.
Having it out with folks who U think have done U wrong (especially on the zone) doesn't sound like a healthy way to calm troubled waters.
I was curious why U were writing some of the stuff U wrote. Political disagreements are one thing, but normally with other human beings sugar works better then vinegar.
While a a lack of empathy for others is a characteristic of many narcissistic people, from what little I have read of your writings, that doesn't seem to be part of your modus operandi.
Though Zoner sandbox brawls can sometimes b amusing, more flourishing ways of spending time can be found. Be kind to yourself. Peace out.
Jeezus, Greg, you're gonna make me be serious for a second?
It's very hard and often lonely being a caretaker to the ill and the dying. Many of us have been there, With two parents, even. With spouses and siblings and friends. We can relate.
You seem to be a good son, doing the best you can under rough conditions. Take solace in that.
But at some point you have to cease being in the "child role" and act like a grown up man. Which means addressing, and taking responsibility for, your own (mental health) condition and not engaging in childish behavior (like taking things too seriously on a drug band message board).
I sense lot of grief underlying your post. Grief is not only about death -- it's about dealing with loss od any kind. Loss of opportunity, loss of health, loss of dignity, loss of independence, etc.
In a past career I helped write a book called "Degriefing." Based on my experience, I'd recommend you talking to grief therapist. It might help.
Lastly - there's no need to defend Byren and Thom -- they are grown men and they are responsible for the content of their posts and we are allowed to react to their nonsense. If they are going to post stupid shit and not defend their thoughts -- someone is going to call them on it and/or ridicule them; that's what happens on a DBMB. It's not easy being a political minority anywhere. They know what they are doing and the consequences of their actions. You are not their Captain America. Politics doesn't seem to be your thing. You might want to stick to music posts to avoid the tossed feces.
This thread is a pretty good picture of why, Greg. You spew drivel and nonsense at zoners, you don’t contribute anything of value here, and then you want to cry like a victim when people push back at your vile attacks. You have promoted violence against zoners, violence against US citizens, and on and on. Not splitting hairs here because you know exactly what I’m talking about. I believe everyone has something of value to contribute, in almost every situation. I never hassled you about your marathon-like roll ups of every Grateful Dead video ever shot (like we somehow don’t know where to find them for ourselves), even though it’s as annoying AS FUCK. I considered it a contribution. Even if that’s in your own little style, whatever. That’s fine. I really try to be respectful and cool with people until they give a me reason not to anymore, then it’s time to be uncool. Get it? I understand the way in which I post can come off as condescending or dismissive sometimes, and I will work on that for myself and for the zoners many of whom I know in person and greatly respect. It’s that when you talk to people on the zone the way you do your contributions, recently, in general, are just plain shit.
l am responding because you asked.
last time I address you personally, until you straighten up or ship out or cop an ip ban or join the circus or whatever.
good luck buddy
and thom is a self-declared racist and doesn’t deserve to be on the zone or poisoning good zoners minds. He’s here. Not my call. I don’t tolerate him, and I never will. Don’t you worry about that.
i have a feeling this gigulator cat hasn't felt the touch of a woman in a long, long, time as there is a lot of pent up frustration emanating from his erratic calls for help.
It's like he's another incel the world forsake, how sad.

What it means to be narcissistic:
It's a mental condition in which someone has an inflated sense of their own importance, a deep need for excessive attention and admiration,
troubled relationships, and a lack of empathy for others.
