My family is about as boring and normal as they come. We could use a bit of bipolar syndrome to shake things up a bit.

And before any he-bitches come back admonishing me for making light of a serious problem, save your breath. I'm only half-serious, and I'm in too good a mood to do battle this morning.

Mental illness is a serious problem, and one steadily increasing in numbers due in part to the autonomous pace in which we're expected to keep up in today's society. The square pegs of our world are given no allowances to fit in the standardized round hole society we've created. It's a growing plague. (Eric, you have that word stuck in my head now, dammit).

PS: That was a very nice post, Joker. I'm sorry that you've had to experience for yourself first-hand what others go through their entire life knowing little or nothing about.
