Gives new meaning to some street signs like this one....

When I said there is too much spam on these threads, yo mama tried to lick the sewing machine.

(lame i know, but just trying to bump whilst staying on topic)

I wonder if she is annoyed with the spam too?!

Good afternoon folks! Dang...this spam is annoying as hell

Yup...DEFINITELY Redneck!! No, thanx....but thanks for the laugh, Rebel.

I would change my procrastination....I have no clue why I do it.


Maybe I'll change it tomorrow.

This topic opens a whole new can o worms

that I have not been walking enough to complete my first ever 5k in September

Whew...nice to get these things off my mind...THANKS

I agree wholeheartedly that "forced into treatment" is never the best option, but sometimes the only option for preventing a tragedy of some kind.
I have to admit....I also had no clue what to do for my cousin. Of course, we had no idea his illness would come to this conclusion.

Also, even if someone is wealthy they are not automatically going to find treatment or take their meds accordingly. I just wanted to clarify what my cousins' situation was.

As far as "death" being an option....that to me is absolutely a gray area. Just like a lot of things in life...it depends on the individual situation, there is no finite right or wrong option. IMO
(certainly NOT death for simply having a mental illness)

Msharmony.....I understand your question and my answer is I DON'T KNOW

Mental illness has many, many forms and is tremendously misunderstood in most cases.

I personally encountered this type of situation in my own family and neighborhood.

He had a severe history of manic depression, bipolar disorder. His brother and mother were poor and didn't have access to any kind of mental health treatment. His mother (my aunt) and my mother (his aunt), called police/ambulance several times in the months leading up to this tragedy to try to get him some help. A year before, the police and hospital managed to get him into a treatment facility. He was there long enough to get the correct meds, start feeling better and was released. He was "normal" as long as he was medicated correctly, however being poor he eventually stopped taking the meds due to cost and time away from his job to meet dr appointments. (it's a vicious circle as we all know)

We simply NEED some kind of public/social medical attention to help diagnose, treat and followup with these kind of cases.
I don't have a clue how to go about this, but it needs to happen.

OT....yes, he used a gun but that is absolutely not relevant to what this topic is about. Msharmony addressed that when she stated "I would feel the same and have the same pondering about people walking around with such illness if she had chosen to lock her kids in a car and drown them,,,or stab them in their sleep," .....remember Susan Smith?

Oh My
