I have a Chemical Imbalance. Get Over It.

by 123pizza on April 29, 2008

I have a few questions to get off my chest and then I’m going to start in my rant… Why is mental illness frowned upon? Why do others think I should be ashamed that I have problems with mental illness? Why do people think they can force their views on me? Why is it thought [...]

Conversations with My Son

I took my eldest son in for a haircut. Apparently this is a conversation they had… Son: I get $8 for raking the leaves in my yard. How much do you get for cutting my hair? Hairstylist: $10. Son: That’s all? Don’t you think that’s a little cheap? Hairstylist said usually it’s the other way [...]

by 123pizza on April 23, 2008
