Agreed

This is definitely one of those times when a sense of humor is a survival skill.

I have so much work to do that I can no longer afford to waste time on anything else. But the nightmarish spectacle that is the state of global politics (to anyone who gets it) makes it hard to entirely tune out. But I have decided to be in the cone of silence largely - a sufficient number of empty vessels racketing about that I need not add to the din…

Now that I am sober (my weed prescription aside) and all caught up (I have these epiphanies sometimes when looking at
confusing masses of information where the apophenia induced by loads of drivel finally yields to an epiphany) definitely my sense of the ridiculous is all that is left as a coping mechanism-I laugh so that I not weep …fortunately it is a very robust asset we have in the family - I remember my mom making jokes about her cancer when I knew she was scared and laughing at her fears.

A friend does this “bit” where he pretends to be a Trumper without breaking character and I have been daring him to buy these and wear them (not really obviously but to get him to break character). It worked! He is not quite willing to be that in character apparently .

Agreed-I got some support from the cancer support forum

When my mother was sick with multiple myeloma. Captain Queeg had pointed me to a cancer support site whose name I cannot -oh yeah-SmartPatients I think-that was a good suggestion.
This is a good forum.

My mom had a great oncologist, but we lost her anyway.

Thank you so much for mine

I know two people on the board (Rhiannon and Duppers -though Duppers is gone I think) and interact off and on with others. But I tend to pop on frenzy-post and then stay offline for months.

DU has been a source of support for me over the years wrt frustrations irl.

So thanks for the hearts .
Neat post Cliffside .
