A warning and a request

[mrissa]

The former: Please be careful of eating at Jun Bo in Richfield, where Chichi's used to be. markgritter and timprov did not mention ill effects, but I seem to have some in spades. I hope to manage some toast in the next few hours. Maybe. We'll see.

The latter: Please be careful of the differences among not being interested in an activity, not wanting to support it directly yourself, and making blanket statements about what that activity says about the people who like it and are interested in it. "Oh, I didn't mean you" hardly ever covers this situation.

Ugh. Hope you're feeling better soon.

"Oh, I didn't mean you" hardly ever covers this situation.

Uh, huh.

I've had a couple of different conversations, trying to explain that even if (not-you) you don't _mean_ to be talking about me, you _are_ talking about me, and please watch who you're tarring with that brush.

Usually it doesn't work. But when it does, the results are kinda spectacular, so I'm not willing to give up on it yet.

In a handful of the cases from the last three days, I have reason to hope. In the rest, not so much.

The fact that there is more than one such case on more than one topic with more than one group of people is not what we would call a positive thing.

[mrissa.livejournal.com]

Person or group of people, I should say. Still.

If anyone needs kneecapping, you know who to call.

My grandma!

Ghostbusters?

I give up, who?

No, situations where someone needs kneecapping are much easier. Because angry is a lot simpler than hurt, even for me, and I'm no good at angry at all.

Adam. Adam will happily kneecap those in need of it. But only for geographic locations convinient to him. Let me know, I can get a "family rate" with him.

Agreed.

Regarding the latter: I've been crying off and on all morning and while I might be able to blame the whole tapering off of Paxil thing, well . . . um. Bleargh.

One Does Not Make The Laurel Cry. This is in the rule book. Anyone who did not receive a copy of the rule book may see me. Anyone who has a copy of the rule book should refresh their memory with the section entitled "Making Laurel Cry: Don't."

Honestly.

[laurel]

Thanks.

Oh I highly doubt it was anyone's intention and I know I'm just being (perhaps overly) emotional. Still v. annoying.

[mrissa.livejournal.com]

I doubt that it was anyone's intention, too, but I also doubt people actually understand how much it means to you.

I've no clue what happened and I don't even know you, but may I proffer hugs, cos I hate to see people cry *hugs*

On the Jun Bo front, it's hard to distinguish yesterday's ill digestive effects from the previous two days' ill digestive effects. Not a case of none, however.

I'm sorry on both accounts, and hope you feel better soon on both accounts...
