Years ago, when I worked more directly with the mentally ill in our community, I met a man who, as a result of a suicide attempt with a gun, basically gave himself a lobotomy. It wasn’t pretty at all and although I didn’t know him before, I heard that it changed his personality quite a lot. I don’t know how much it affected him in terms of OCD but it did eliminate a lot of his impulse control. I guess what I am saying is that I wouldn’t recommend using a gun for brain surgery.
As a selfless gesture of hope for the entire Ypsilanti community, I would gladly shoot you in the face. If it somehow helps you, so be it. That’s a risk I’m willing to take.
I think someone just threatened to shoot you in the face. Is that the kind of thing that should be taken seriously? I don’t know what’s acceptable in the world of blogs.
Yeah, it’s usually not so good to post that you’re going to shoot someone in the face. In the absence of an “LOL” I’d say you might want to let the police know about it.

I didn’t follow the link. Do they show you were to aim?
Welcome to Obamacare.
I suspect there are many in this country who believe that mental illness should be “treated” with bullets.
Cure the OCD, End the Blog
I’m a little surprised Dr. Oz isn’t selling an at-home brain dremel yet…
The snake oil selling Dr. Oz testifying before Congress yesterday. (I doubt he’ll show it on his program.)

They need to follow up with an AMA.
734,
Are you saying that Mark should shoot himself and end the blog, or are you saying that if he were to cure himself if OCD the blogging would end?

I don’t think he was really going to do it, Lynne.

due to the proximity of this post to the one about deja vu, i assumed brainless was talking about “shooting” mark in the face with ejaculate.
Lol. Ha ha. In the spirit of the twisted humor of the blog etc. etc…
Thank you. I will come out from under the bed now.
