I'm actually not on any meds....but you stay on yours

If you can manage your bipolar without meds, great! My mistake, having some experience caring for my loved ones’ bipolar myself. I don’t want to see him back in the psych hospital, or worse, and I wish the same for you.

Mental illness can express itself in a lot of different ways, and I hope this new behavior of posting to this forum - your 40 verbose posts to this thread in one day - is normal for you, within the range of your bipolar behaviors, despite your user having never done this before.

I don’t remember saying that I was suffering from a mental illness myself, the way that you said that about yourself, so I’m not expecting your reply about my meds was meant as helpful advice to someone who had solicited advice, the way I intended my reply to be for you.

I’ll wish you well again, and I’ll try not to expect the same in return, having learned a little something from your reply.

I expect that you’ll see a reflection of yourself wherever you go. Many of we ’mericans don’t so much like the reflection of ourselves that we see in me, but I’ll try not to blame you for that. Some of us didn’t even vote for me.

And some of us don’t even look for the worst in other people, regardless of who we voted for.

Nicely done on your kind hearted responses people, troll or not.

I wonder how LEB is doing. Have you reached the Loising point yet? It’s a nice day out here.

My suggestion would be Australia or New Zealand.
Assuming he's not a Russian troll, it ain't easy to get immigrant status to most countries. It's not just a matter of moving there, you have to get the landed immigrant status and that, basically, means having lots of money. Do you have a million dollars? Then immigration is easy. Only have $10,000? Too bad Charlie, you're most likely not welcome. For a dose of reality, go to a Canadian immigrant page and see if you qualify.

Here's info on New Zealand. Note that the points total needed to be considered has been raised from 100 to 160 points.

Bottom line, it isn't love it or leave it, it's more 'you're stuck here, change it if you don't like it'. Vote this November.

Damn! I scored a big fat 0 with the Kiwis! WTF? They don’t want people
who don’t need to work? That’s messed up! I guess they don’t want me
to visit either? That’s like Kanada. I go up there to spend money and they’re
all like “Whatch you doin’ here, boi?”

I'll tell you Reilly, one of the worst things about NZ are the (and I'm not being racist here, just real) Asian drivers. There's a ring set up in Auckland to provide fake driver's licenses to people who have never driven, let alone on the 'wrong' side of the road. They are a terror. American tourists in rental cars are pretty bad too, as they tend to drive on the wrong side and plow head on into other cars.

It's pretty easy to switch left and right when you've had enough experience in both countries, but there's this little niggley thing in the brain that sometimes causes an NZ moment. It happens to me here in the Costco parking lot exit. For some reason I sometimes find myself on the left side and have to jerk my brain back; it takes a moment to actually figure out what's wrong. When my daughter was taking driver's ed in Seattle after living in NZ for a while, she was taking a test with the instructor, turned the corner and proceeded down the left side of the road. She said he freaked out, demanded to know how she could drive so poorly, and she had to explain her 'New Zealand' moment.

And Reilly, they are happy to take your tourist money. I think you can buy your way in if you are retired and have lots of money or buy a business.

Werner, using the word bom ber when advising a foreign national will get you flagged by Homeland.

Reilly, where do they send the fat people?

This is SO cute! The TACO has it's own lil' Russian troll. Love it. If he/she/it is even still reading:

Former Climber:

If you were a climber and have been living in the US of A, can you please describe in some detail a climb that you have done in this country? Climbers on this forum have been EVERYWHERE. Surely we can swap tales of vertical daring do? What was your favorite pitch on The Nose? Why? How was the gear? Or maybe Wolfe's Head in Wyoming! A moderate classic. C'mon, Troll-dude. At least waste some time on research to create a little cred.

Oh, and if you can't understand the meaning of "No matter where you go, there you are," you DEFINITELY need to move back to Ruskyland. And you did rather emphatically explain how every state in the union was unacceptable.

I'm with xCon: Don't let the kompromat (компрометирующий материал) door bruise your sweet buttocks on the way out.

C'mon guys. Why so serious? Somebody just got too sentimental under influence of a litre or so vodka. It is kinda Russian tradition to get sentimental and shitbuzz around been drunk. With those amazing technologies like Internet and/or Facebook every second Friday night brings alot lulz.

Good to see the discerning crowd here. Seems like exactly what went on prior to 2016.

Humor is the best antidote.

Мать Россия зовет, волки воют в снежную ночь. Я вернусь домой, когда Супертопо говорит, что пришло время. Благослови мое возвращение, Суперпопо!

Ha ha, nice one Jon. Патрик indeed. Except whiskey.

You guys are old so maybe you’ll remember - my favorite Seinfeld episode was the one where each of the main characters at some point says “these pretzels are making me thirsty!,” each in their own way, as a reflection of their own personality and character.

I always figure it’s kind of like that - our reactions and reponses say more about us than about them.

Man, that’s a lot of work to stir the pot for the twelve of us on this forum, isn’t it?! It would take me forever to come up with all that sh#t. But it’s fun to try to understand.

Best all!
