For 3 days now, I've been reading/discussing the various topics on the rape threads and my eyes are burning and my head hurts from all the "what ifs" running around in there. I have children of both genders so it's a bit crowded right now.
I'm not complaining that we're having these discussions because they all have good/separate points to be made, but I can't be the only one with a headache.

I'm surprised I didn't have nightmares last night. My imagination doesn't know when to quit sometimes.  |

I haven't even opened those threads. I opened them, backed out quietly and marked "read forever" Might keep me from opening at later date.  Guess that makes me a half assed chicken.  |

What happened to washing your eyes out with bleach by thread posters when reading something disgusting?
A sniff of lavender might help.

I was going to come in and joke: "Is it the rape threads?"
Turns out the joke was right. Damn. Sorry.

It's ok, I'm not frustrated or wanting to choke anyone, just have stared too hard at the screen for too long. I need a bloodshot eyes smiley that doesn't also look high/drunk |

You can see I backed away from them  Now I'm getting a headache from trying to figure out what to eat for lunch... I could get a chicken salad sandwich now... but I don't know that we have too much at home to eat for dinner I could not eat now (but I'm kind of hungry)... and stop and grab something on the way home I could get that chicken salad sandwich... and stop on the way home to get something... but that's a lot of take out in one day I could get the sandwich now and maybe I won't need anything later I do have some popcorn I could eat now and stop on the way home... (I'll probably still be trying to figure this out in 2 hours and then I'll just decide it's too late to eat and wait until I get home) Well, I just ate a turkey sub and will probably eat cheese and crackers tonight. It is a slow day at work and I am doing practically anything at this point to avoid the rape threads. I am about to go ask my assistant if I can help HER - LOL! |

How about cheese and wine? That is at least a simple decision, can't have the wine at work so I'd have to wait to have that at home  I figured I could solve the dinner problem at least.  |

Anything to keep from getting sucked back in. Tell me all about the popcorn. Is it extra butter? Snack sized? What brand? |

I'm having popcorn for dinner tonight. I'm very excited. I make really good popcorn on the stove in olive oil and am not stingy with the salt and butter. It's naughty, but I don't do it much. |

Don't tempt me. I'm supposed to cook and feed all those hungry people in my house. They don't all love popcorn.  |

I've decided to go with the popcorn-lunch and takeout dinner. It seems the easiest at this point...I know you were all waiting with baited breath for me to share this Mr. Sroo is a lucky man. (If we can't bait you with the rape threads, we'll try the old, stereotypical, gender roles ploy.) |

Go over to the thread in WIR. Your headache will quickly be gone. It's something like Pregnancy, kids, whatever. |
