I have been tasked with the unpleasant duty of informing you all that he is currently in the hospital with a severe kidney stone episode that has possibly led to kidney failure after eating a Big Arch and it’s questionable if he’s going to make it. I know some in this sub don’t see eye to eye with him but he’s still human and some things transcend message board drama. Oh man have been there 3 times. First had surgery in 99 for a 3 mm stone. Then passed a stone in 2013 and again in 2022. And I eat healthy. Being GF most fast food places are land mines for hidden wheat. Every time you have one your chance goes up 50% of having another. Mine are caused by my neurodivergence and sometimes going a whole day on one 16oz. glass of water. Remembering to drink is my downfall and I go through spurts of being really good and then going to bed at night and asking myself did I drink anything today. Sending good healing vibes to @RevWarReenactor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been thinking about whether and how to say this for a while. This winter there have been several examples of posters screaming "bullying" anytime someone says something they don't like. I am neurodivergent. As an adult I'm able to mask it well enough that it's not as socially crippling as it once was. But I am intimately familiar with what bullying is. No one on here is being bullied! No one is being doxxed. No one is being threatened. No one is being personally mocked or ridiculed for who they are or their preferences. No one is being cruelly made fun of for being weird or different. Calling out bad behavior or criticizing someone's actions is NOT BULLYING. Especially when it's done in a non threatening, and often only half serious, way in an online forum. I know the internet is generally a cruel harsh place, but this forum is one of the most positive communities I am a part of. Even when we are fighting and criticizing it is mostly done in a non threatening way. I don't know if the bullying thing was thrown around as a calculated effort to deflect or mute criticism knowing the weight of that word...or if some people are confused about what real bullying actually is. But I wanted to say this because bullying is a serious thing, and something I am very conscious of, and I wanted to make it clear what goes on in here when we banter with one another, is not bullying in my opinion, and saying it is minimizes real bullying.

Maybe more. The stuff in my yard is late, but curiously the cherry blossoms at the Tidal Basin are only slightly behind normal. Extension of Florets was March 16. In 2015 it was Apr 4!
