Morning AB, All
Been an awful week but I’m okay, dogs are okay, life is okay.
I ask y’all to look up the term Münchausen syndrome and some day, not today and not even soon, and I will share a story that will blow your collective minds.
I even wrote a book about it.
Anyway, thank you AB for doing this thread, Bray for his thoughtful posts and RG for showing up every week. Thanks to the rest of you and your fine input as well.
I’ve taken to writing a “National Scene” post for my Delaware Blog (and more great stories some day about this) every Monday and, of course, I use this thread as source.
Take care and will be watching and opinionating.
It’s what I do.
Anybody here see that video of NASCAR driver killing that guy? Driver’s name is Stewart.
Man every liberal will be on TV telling us how NASCAR is full of Teabagger types and the sport should be banned.
Sometimes NASCAR drivers even get concussions.
I saw a video of it....come on....the kid...he’s only 20, gets out of his wrecked car AND STANDS ON THE TRACK FULL OF RACING CARS!
People die doing that!
Good thing the victim wasn’t black cause Obama would be out saying he looks like his son and how Stewart should be tried for mass murder.
Sometimes victims do really dumb things.
But I don’t think it a good idea for Stewart to race again today. It just really looks thoughtless.
Stay cool Fish things will always get better.
Münchausen syndrome is a psychiatric factitious disorder wherein those affected feign disease, illness, or psychological trauma to draw attention, sympathy, or reassurance to themselves. It is also sometimes known as hospital addiction syndrome, thick chart syndrome, or hospital hopper syndrome. True Münchausen syndrome fits within the subclass of factitious disorder with predominantly physical signs and symptoms, but they also have a history of recurrent hospitalization, travelling, and dramatic, untrue, and extremely improbable tales of their past experiences.[1] There is discussion to reclassify them as somatoform disorders in the DSM-5 as it is unclear whether or not people are conscious of drawing attention to themselves.[2] In the current iteration, the term “somatoform disorder” (as used in the DSM-IV-TR and other literature) is no longer in use; that particular section of the DSM-V has been renamed “Somatic Symptom and Related Disorders”. Officially, Münchausen syndrome has been renamed “Factitious Disorder”, with specificity either as “Imposed on Self” or “Imposed on Another” (formerly “by Proxy”).
OMG its describing Nancy Piglosi!
