I need a break.
I'm just going to lose it,after the Schmidt shit and the 2 posts here about the dead soldiers---I, a woman who has never been in a fight, am mightily tempted to break the nose of the next person who crosses my path spewing even one inch of the RW talking points.I will put someone on the ground and make sure they stay there.

I need a break. I'm gonna go lose myself in Sherlock Holmes and the BOOK of The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe.

I HATE these entities who started this war. I need to rid myself of hate.............


I dunno, though...maybe I need to be this angry? When is it ok to be this angry? Because I am. I am...........beyond angry.

Where's my medication......

Don't worry; I won't really hit somebody.I'll just fantasize for days about it. Arg.

1. I have to do it too. Take a break.
Edited on Sun Nov-20-05 01:50 AM by Lex
Bury myself in a book. Call a time-out on all the cable news shows and even on the computer boards and blogs.

I feel myself getting freaked out, too upset, and angry to the point I want to put my fist through a wall.

I'd like to be around to see the end of the Bush regime and I don't want to have a stroke and die between now and then.


Take care of yourself, okay? Unplugging for a while does help.

2. Just remember the silly Bushbots think that good times are here
again. Just around the next corner.

3. Take all of the time you need
When you become so angry you want to hurt people you really need to step back. Unfortunately, the hatred and evil coming from the Reich-wing can be that hurtful, particularly as time progresses.

Take care of yourself, we'll be awaiting your return. :hug:

4. I know how you feel
That's why I try to get away from reality for a while with sleeping, spending time with family, a tv show or a good book. :)

6. The political battle has only
begun. And it promises to get even uglier. So maybe you better take up yoga or meditation or something.

And may I recommend Tolkien: "The Lord of the Rings". (The books, not the movies.)

Head and shoulders above the rest as far as fantasy goes.

8. I am so with you
I threw a plate of hot pasta at my now ruined TV when I saw that evil parasitic ********* Shmidt call Murtha a coward. I fantasized both Republicans and Democrats going after her with other than just catcalls and boos. As I said in an earlier post, I have yet to find one Republican who will stand up for the integrity and honor of this country. Instead of .... never mind.

We can NEVER forget what these people have done to this country.

I think a good tactic at this point is understatement. Casually mention a fact to apolitical and uninformed types and remind them they will be suffering greatly thanks to the great fiscal prowess of the Republicans. Tell them that you are worried that this Murtha guy may be right. Why would Republicans attack a man who obviously cares so deeply about the brace men and women fighting on behalf of our country.

To bed. Do something nice for a stranger tomorrow. It always helps. There is more love and respect for you here than you will ever need.

Sleep and Relax well!

No pun intended. It's time for us to stand up and fight.
