I hope you’re feeling better and getting rest. The Swine Flu went through my school campus in October, but I stayed healthy. It was awful to watch everyone suffer.
Get those Germs. Sorry you feel so poorly. Feel better.
Thanks for the happy thoughts, I’m still hurting, it’s spread everywhere now. I’m much to ladylike to tell you what hurts the most, but… here’s a hint, try to avoide saline bags if you EVER think you’re gonna get the flu!
I’m in seclusion now, I’m not spreading this to anyone else, and I’m in a foul mood all the time, so it’s just me, a bed and a stack of DVD box sets.
Police Academy 7 is not a good film.
You will have to give us the DVD report when you feel better.
Suggestions on handling a drunk roommate who stumbles in at 1 in the morning?

Have a Sharpie?
Let him/her be?

Move the furniture around slightly, then deny anything has changed.
Recruit friends to be there dressed in Medieval Armor, when they come in all turn and glare at them.
Thanks for the tips. I’ll keep those in mind. 
His friend just dropped him off stumbling and slobbering while I was up late working. I walked up the stairs behind him to make sure he didn’t fall over backwards and break his head open, and he put himself to bed.
I just found out that a friend of mine checked herself into a psychiatric facility for the fourth or fifth time in a year because of suicidal tendencies. I feel bad and want to help her out and visit, but as much as I want to she hasn’t a good friend to me back, let alone even returned emails/phone calls sometimes. I don’t like feeling taken advantage of too so I really don’t know what’s best for me to do
That isn’t very reassuring.
I say be the bigger person and visit.
I have a couple friends like that. Complete basketcases that, even though I love, I have to draw boundaries and take time off from.
I’ll go for a while without seeing or hearing from them, but then I have to check in and see how they’re doing. I hope I’m not doing it solely out of guilt, but it’s probably there. The reason I’m friends with them in the first place is because once upon a time, we had a mutual relationship going. Now that they’re in a part of their lives where they can’t give back (or won’t), I still want to show them that they’re loved and cared for.
It’s a tricky line to walk, because obviously this kind of setup can be the grounds for a co-dependent or abusive relationship, especially if someone’s doing crazy stuff just for attention. But a visit to your friend while she’s in the psychiatric hospital sounds like a good thing. So I agree with Armando. Be the good friend and check in on her. She might just need more time to come around.
I was going to edit my reply, since I posted the original on my phone and wanted to avoid typing a lengthy reply on a tiny keyboard. Stroogie’s elaboration, however, is more or less where I was gonna go with this, so i’d listen to him. He’s a wise man, Mr. Stroogar.
25 degrees in central Florida. Can some one send me a heavy coat? 
Hey - it’s warmed up to 39 degrees here. Time to put away the winter coat.
^ For reals. I never thought a high of 40 degrees would sound like a heat wave.
I say be the bigger person and visit.
I agree. Whether it’s to get attention or because of legit depression, it would be good to let your friend know you’re there for her. Sometimes when you’re in a place that dark, you can’t see past your own pain. You can be too busy with your own thoughts to think of how it affects your family and friends, or it can go the other way and you can be too worried about their feelings so you shut down to avoid being a burden to them. It’s a bad situation either way, but at least she’s getting help. And if she really is committing to making a change, it’ll be reassuring to know that people like you will be there waiting on the other end.
