When Funny Isn't (AKA "Batshit")

lydyIt occurred to me that I may have sounded insulting about my ex-sister-in-law in my previous post. Please believe me when I say that I didn't intend to sound insulting, demeaning, dismissive, or any of those other nasty sorts of words. For people who have known me for a while, they probably didn't blink twice, but if for some chance you read my post and didn't understand my personal short-hand, I totally love and respect Eleanor.
If you are forced to be on disability for any sort of mental disability, I guarantee you that getting dental work without anaesthetic is more fun. I've got my own problems (manic depressive, at least two types of sleeping disorders, and a tossed salad of random side effects from a rather surprising number of drugs). My coping mechanisms tend to involve sarcasm and insulting myself as if I I was just being nuts without any help from biochemistry, neurology, genetics, or environment. When I referred to Eleanor as "batshit", it was supposed to be a sympathetic comment.
Just so we're all clear on this, ok?
