The headache will not stop. It will not respond to any sort of OTC medication. I think it is time to rip my brain out.

Allyson, I am so sorry! I think it's time to go to the doc. I use ice packs alternating with heat when I get an intractable headache. It doesn't work for long, but it does give some relief.

I think it is time to rip my brain out.

That would stop the pain, but we'd all miss your brain.

Taking Scrappy advice sounds like the way to go.

Allyson I am so sorry. If it helps any, your brain ripping desire has made me think of a story where a zombie eats it's own brain.

I played peacemaker and woke mac up with hugs and kisses. stupidhead having to be the grown-up thing.

msbelle, God bless you. I don't know how you do it.

I have a 7 year old client with adhd and a really, really angry mom. I've come to a place where I fear I can't actually help them.

The mom has every right to every feeling she has, but it is eating both of them alive. Something has got to change...or a choice needs to be made for no change. Every time we get close to a breakthrough, the mom retreats into, "You can't understand. You don't have kids." It's so sad. It's true that I don't have kids, but I sure as hell know about frustration and ways to deal with it.

I also know how unrelentingly wearing it is. Whenever I read about msbelle's strength and determination, it just chokes me up.

Bless, bless, bless.

Allyson, I'm so sorry to hear that. I agree that a doctor is in order at this point.

You definitely deserve a treat, msbelle.

sumi, I think it's funny how the German Shepherd in the photo is looking at the camera like "Can you believe this?"

I'm thinking that Draculara bears a strong resemblance to Jilli. IJS.

Seriously. All that's missing is a top hat.

I'm thinking that's more of a DINAO.

So I just got a note from someone on facebook - she's looking for someone who has the same name as me, and is asking if I'm the Tom she knew.

Several years ago, I got a call from someone looking for someone with my name - it was his sister, trying to tell him their mom died. Later, she told me she'd found out her brother Tom had died a year before. Should I tell the woman on Facebook this? I could say, "I really hope this isn't the Tom you're looking for, but...."

I'm thinking you could C Burgermeister Meisterburger, and then Heat Miser and Snow Miser will be all jealous of each other. Their fighting would give you time to run away....
