Twenty-twenty-twenty-four hours to go
I wanna be sedated
Nothing to do, no where to go, oh
I wanna be sedated

Just get me to the airport, put me on a plane
Hurry hurry hurry, before I go insane
I can't control my fingers, I can't control my brain
Oh no oh oh oh oh

{Refrain}

Just put me in a wheelchair, get me on a plane
Hurry hurry hurry, before I go insane
I can't control my fingers, I can't control my brain
Oh no oh oh oh oh

{Refrain}

Just put me in a wheelchair, get me to the show
Hurry hurry hurry, before I go loco
I can't control my fingers, I can't control my toes
Oh no oh oh oh oh

{Refrain}

Just put me in a wheelchair, get me to the show
Hurry hurry hurry, before I go loco
I can't control my fingers, I can't control my toes
Oh no oh oh oh oh

Ba-ba-baba, baba-ba-baba, I wanna be sedated
Ba-ba-baba, baba-ba-baba, I wanna be sedated
Ba-ba-baba, baba-ba-baba, I wanna be sedated
Ba-ba-baba, baba-ba-baba, I wanna be sedated

I wonder if this thread is really just a part of my delusional state.

I wonder if I am just part of the delusional state of someone else.

Is there any reality left?

If you actually sound like that one I'm more scared of you then I was before!

Nick! Remember John Hilton sounded exactly like Holly?! (The first one.)

LMAO! :wnw:

Re: Everyone in this business...
 

I'm very happy actually.

Re: Everyone in this business...
 

I'm actually quite happy this time around, too. I treat this *much* more like a "business" than a "lifestyle," as I did before. Work starts at a certain time and stops at a certain time. If I wake up in the middle of the night, I don't go build a freesite like I used to. I try like hell to go back to sleep, but if I can't, I have a book waiting in the kitchen. I keep much better notes so I know what I'm supposed to be doing and when I'm supposed to be doing it. I know which sponsors I can convert (see sig!) and don't waste my time on things that I can't convert properly.

Adult will never buy me a new car. I don't care. I spent two days shopping my happy little fingers off online this week...which I couldn't have done without this business.

I also am much more eager to learn new things this time around, too. I don't have a "rut."

Re: Everyone in this business...
 

it was cute until he started talking to Hot Pants and Mrs. Hot Pants (Hot Pants' mother) at school....and was amazed that Mrs. Hot Pants "had big boobies"...my parent-teacher conference is scheduled for this evening...

Re: Everyone in this business...
 

Oy! Just tell teacher he's a bit promiscuous for his age. :huh:

Yeah, that will go over well!

Re: Everyone in this business...
 

I live in a predominantly mormon neighborhood...it would go over very well...in fact, so well, I could come home to see burning effigies in my likeness

Re: Everyone in this business...
 

Lance...he most likely has age appropriate comments that will stay age appropriate right up until some adult freaks out and either makes him feel ashamed and guilty or hands him a nice weapon to use against adults. If he discovers that saying words like "boobies" freaks out his teacher...she bettle settle in to be freaked out a lot.

When a sixth grade daughter mentioned having a boyfriend, I did the silent, blank faced *thud,* then asked in a casual voice "what does that mean in the sixth grade?" She shrugged and said "nothing, really." It was merely immitative behavior. Kids would make a declaration "so-and-so is my boyfriend/girlfriend" and that was that. It didn't change their behavior in the slightest. They didn't spend more time together or do any of the things older children would have done. "Ah," I said to my child. "OK." And that was that.

I had an absolute catfight with another parent once who told me what she'd heard during one of her middle school daughter's phone calls. I said "back up a minute...you *listened in* on one of her phone calls?!?!?!?" (That point was lost on her, so we moved on.) I tried to explain that at that age, kids talked dirty on the phone. The phone made them safe. (I'd gotten advice from my own middle school aged children by asking them about phone call content, discovering that it was quite frequently blue, and it - again - did not change a thing about the way they treated each other in person.) She had violated trust and royally overreacted.

My youngest got an email into the family account when we first got the internet that had a subject line that dropped my jaw. She said "oh, he just does that in the subject line, he thinks it's funny, the rest of the email isn't like that." I said "you most definitely need your *own* email account" and off we went to hotmail, with instructions on internet safety. I could have royally overreacted and forbidden her computer usage...but then I never would have had the pleasure of watching her glued to a hockey game because she'd met a nice Canadian kid in a teen chat room. It was a Candian team versus an American team...and they had a playful "I'll bet my country can kick your country's butt!!" thing going on. She'd never watched hockey before this.

Re: Everyone in this business...
 

My daughter got into hockey the first time she saw a guy's face smashed into the glass in front of her.

Now she's getting serious with an otherwise very nice young man who has one MAJOR flaw.

He's a Cubs fan.

Re: Everyone in this business...
 

They can't be perfect, PD. :)

Re: Everyone in this business...
 

yeah
he loves to see me howl with laughter when he talks about finding me a new girlfriend with big boobies...my older son gets a kick out of it too...I just have to explain to them what is funny at home might not be as funny in school.

I did get a kick out of the teacher calling me...the teacher loves him because he just says what's on his mind and doesn't care what anyone thinks. He is also amazed at my son's creativity...when he plays with Hot Pants (try typing that without giggling, I dare ya), he has amazingly detailed adventures and I'd never want to curb his creativity.

Re: Everyone in this business...
 

I like being on the Lunatic Fringe.

I was there for so long, that when things calmed to a period of normalcy I didn't have a clue what I was supposed to do.

I think that is called crisies addiction. Not sure, I've had a bunch of labels put on me over the years. In the end, I'm just a crazy chick tryin' to get by.

Re: Everyone in this business...
 

We had to have the "language" talk with our kids. We never censored their language at home, but told them you didn't speak like that out in public because it was wrong to "gratuitously offend people." (If you wanted the privilege of using four letter words in my house you had to understand the five syllable ones. Rules of the game.) My kids would speak to their friends the way they always did on the way to school...and inevitably get "shushed!!" with the head gesture toward their father. One of my kids would shrug and begin their favorite "freak out their friends" game with a "hey, Dad? Fuck you" to which my husband would mildly reply "fuck you, too." (We're lucky we didn't put a few kids in the hospital with that one.)

A teacher actually *repainted* one of my at the time second grade daughter's art project because she didn't want the penguin to have pink (could have been purple, don't remember) polka dots. Well, we sat the nearly hysterical child down and got the directions for the project - "real or imaginary animal." Allrighteeethen. My husband went in to visit the principal and his opening salvo was "first off...you're so lucky my wife isn't here." Not big on curbing creativity around here, either. If the directions had been "real life animal," then I could see telling *the child* to repaint the project, but that hadn't been the instructions. And the *teacher* repainting it?!?!?!? Oh, I so don't think so....

Re: Everyone in this business...
 

I hate labels. Everybody has to have some kind of "addiction" or the shrinks aren't happy.

I, too, am a "crazy chick just tryin' to get by." Anybody who read or heard the morning news is just a crazy tryin' to get by...and that doesn't even cover the personal life stuff.

Imagine how annoying it must be for a Vietnam veteran to wander into a Neighbourhood Watch meeting, only to see some guy on the committee dressed up in jungle combat gear...

I bet most of you have no idea how scary mental illness can be.

Re: Everyone in this business...
 

I think you'd be surprised....

Re: Everyone in this business...
 

So would you say that a high percentage of adult webmasters suffer with mental health issues?

And if so, do you think it's a result of the work, or perhaps that the job attracts people who were ill in the first place?
