I got 2 new initials for Christmas

OK, I already have more initials after my name than my dog. And, he's a 3 time AKC champion.

I can't remember them all but I'm AADD, MDD, PTSD, AHD, OCD, ADD, L&M and a couple of Lucky Strikes.

But, now, they have invented another new disease. Well, they haven't really invented a new one. Rather, they are re-vitalizing an old one.

And, as always, there's no cure. But, they have drugs you can buy to TREAT this horrible disease. And, the worse part is, they are directing it at the children. Again.

TS

Remember Tourette's Syndrome? We all knew what it was but we never knew anyone who actually had it. As far as we knew, people who were infected shouted out obscenities at random. The very entertaining guy in the new Predator movie portrays what we all remember as a person who had Tourette's.

However, that is only a symptom that present in about 10% of the people who have this horrible disease.

Apparently, anyone who speaks their mind..... now has Tourette's Syndrome.

But wait! There's no cure. And cancer just ain't bringing in the money it used to. And, a cure is just around the corner. We need to keep inventing new diseases that we can TREAT but NEVER CURE

For years, people just called me an asshole. Polite people would say, "I have no filter". LOL

It's not like I call fat people fat and tease them. If I see someone who OBVIOUSLY needs help, I'll say, "Whoa, you're a big one. How many calories do you consume a day. Ever count? You should, just out of curiosity". You should go to the gym with me. I have guest passes. It will be fun."

What I am trying to do it do make them aware of how much they eat in a day. Once they are aware, maybe they will change it. You can't solve a problem until you acknowledge it exists. I'm trying to help them. OBVIOUSLY no one else is. Don't these people have family who love them? Doesn't anyone stop them and say, "Wait, there's a limit". I'm talking about the 300+ pound sloppy fat and UNHEALTHY slobs all around me who OBVIOUSLY don't KNOW they are fat. LMAO

My Mom has a friend who requires 2 men to sit her on the couch and get her back up. When they play bridge, they move the table over to the couch because it's the only seat that is wide enough and strong enough to hold her. I dumped on her husband, big time, for letting her get like that. Had everyone crying. Totally trashed my Mom's bridge party. LOL

Our society is so afraid to tell the truth to someone, all the fat people get from their "friends" is, "Oh, no. You're not as fat as some people. You look nice in that dress." Why not say, HOLY SHIT, YOU HOG. THAT TENT IS SKIN TIGHT ON YOU. Followed but a hug and a sincere I Love You and a talk about this very serious problem we have.

OK, enough on that topic. Just an example of how I might, sometimes, a little harshly... tell the truth to people.

So, because of that, I have a disease... Tourette's Syndrome.

And, if you read up on it, basically any kid in school who isn't a complete robot or shows the tiniest bit of originality or diference has Tourette's Syndrome.

Not sure if it's like this all over the world... but this is some fucked up shit.

I weep for the future.

Are you saying some school administrator labelled your kid as having TS because of some incident that common sense would say is normal behavior ? (not TS)

Like many Americans most of what I know about Tourette's is what I saw on TV. Was there a character on Seinfeld who had a caricature of Tourette's ?

Hey Mr. Ringodoggie, you can add TDS to the list.

See, I have TS also.

Didn't help a damn bit when I worked with a bunch of sorryazz people, and just spouted off what I really thought.

I have made every bad decision a person can make in a lifetime but..... I never had kids. OMG, can you imagine a little Ringodoggie? It would be like Dr Evil and Mini Me. LOL

Maybe we could have a "bad decision" competition.

I turned down a job offer from Apple in 1980 because I had already accepted a job offer from someone else and thought I was supposed to "keep my word".

Boy did I need a career counselor to tell me what the business world was really like.
