I did rejoice a little at my class reunion since I am now a successful veterinarian and all the "popular" people were fat, divorced, unhappy, drug addicts, or had dead end jobs. They weren't actually, clinically, brain dead-- just as good as. One guy, actually asked me why all the smart chicks ended up being doctors or lawyers (I'm a vet). I told him it's because we were the smart chicks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-73861601920893613732009-10-05T12:38:10.508-04:002009-10-05T12:38:10.508-04:00There have always been people who tried to make me...There have always been people who tried to make me miserable. I grew up the middle of 3 children with hand-me-down clothing and more "hangers-on" who wanted to cheat off my test papers than real friends. A lot of people reminded me every day that I was not one of "them." That also included the self important ass hats that I went to pharmacy school with. You know who you are...<br /><br />I am so much happier not being one of them! I have and always will be able to provide for myself and have a great network of friends to visit in cities all over the place and have more fun than them without having to study every day to pass a class cuz I have a mind like a steel trap (once it gets caught I never forget). Life is not about what you own but the journeys you take.<br /><br />For those who always tried to make me miserable I would not pull you out of a burning building or pull you out of a car that crashed into a canal or snowbank and I would not save your offspring from a wild animal but rather relish the anguish and pain that you so justly deserve.<br /><br />Cheers!Big 'N Tasty RPHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00166789789148254760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-51751757925802276422009-10-05T10:30:01.757-04:002009-10-05T10:30:01.757-04:00There's one girl from my grade school that I w...There's one girl from my grade school that I would love to find out what's going on with her.

Walking home from Jr. High one day, I feel this stinging sensation on my calf. I turn around and there's Larry on a bicycle headed towards me, shooting me with a bb gun made to resemble a Colt .45 ACP. As Larry attempts to pass by, I step into his path and give him a forearm shiver right to the throat, knocking him ass over tea-kettle off his bike. Turns out he broke his leg in the dismount. I let him keep the gun.<br />Larry wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed, so a couple of weeks later, he tries to poke me with one of his two crutches (see broken leg above). So I grab the offending crutch, give it a good yank, Larry doesn't have sense to let go, so I give him a nice spin 'round and 'round - I can still visualize him trying to keep up with his one good leg and one crutch. I tire of the game and let go - Larry falls in a heap. Don't know what happened to him and don't care. I haven't even thought of him 'til reading your post.<br />Oh, and they should make a Mastercard "priceless" commercial based on your experience.Whats Up Doc?noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-39511612822768277992009-10-04T10:22:02.118-04:002009-10-04T10:22:02.118-04:00Reading these responses makes me try to remember t...Reading these responses makes me try to remember the individuals, there are always some, who bullied me years ago.

Of course, her birthday party was two days before mine every year, complete with rented carousels (in the 50's!), clowns, gifts that filled the living room and the requisite tiara. I got a homemade cake, a Barbie dress and quickly stopped having my pitiful parties because really, who would come? <br /><br />Fast forward 20 years, the fat, frumpy, fried-hair, acne-ridden single woman living with her parents going to community college in front of me is writing a check and I recognize the name.

With the perspective of about 45 years, I look at this experience with not much emotion any more and realize he was the victim of a dreadful mother and a very unhealthful situation as a child.<br /><br />I was about twenty when I really stood up to him for the first time. Two days later he was dead from a (his second) heart attack.<br /><br />At various times during my life, various mental health professionals (after hearing about this experience) have said to me, "You need to realize you are not responsible for your father's death and you should should not consume yourself with guilt."<br /><br />I just say, "I don't." I think but do not say, <i>I don't feel real great about the whole experience, either</i>.<br /><br />My greatest satisfaction in my life is that my daughter (now 43 years old) calls and visits of her own accord without whining and guilt trips by me. My granddaughter is doing well, also.<br /><br />Being a good parent is the best revenge if you had awful parents.modesty presshttp://modestypress.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-51109842693934391162009-10-03T22:25:33.407-04:002009-10-03T22:25:33.407-04:00Nurse K called you a nerd!

One day she went into a shop, not long after "Titanic" came out and at the beauty products counter, who should be there but one of the worst bullies. She tried to greet Kate like they were really old friends but she wasn't having it and said she was surprised the girl was working there and not acting. The Chinese say "Revenge is a dish best eaten cold". I think that's what you are tasting Dr Grumpy, and I do understand. I was bullied at school by God knows how many kids on the council estate (Projects?)I lived on because I didn't speak slang, swear or talk ungrammatically. One apologised to me on Facebook as few years back, but if only she knew, I don't even remember her and that there were many who were far worse!Fiznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-37411199310442806722009-10-03T16:55:58.943-04:002009-10-03T16:55:58.943-04:00I also can't help but remark on how cheap scho...I also can't help but remark on how cheap school was for you.
