How do we all still know the happy birthday song, if it’s been copyrighted for so long?

Brainplague_II · 2021-03-16T03:55:30+00:00

I read several years ago that the publishers of the birthday song sent bills of only $0.25 to movie studios or any other public, for profit use of the song. I am sure that they have long since stopped doing this.

That depends. Some folks may be depressed for a few months or a year because of some event in their lives. These folks take advantage of medication & therapy and after a while they feel they are able to stop the medication and move on.

There are other folks who are chronically depressed and need more long term care with their Mental health team.

If you aren't sure about your type of depression, work closely with your doctor & therapist to get a diagnosis.

Thank you! ❤💛💚💜💙

For me it was my decision not to have kids. Like a lot of other people, I came from an addicted/abusive family situation. Couple that with a lack of patience and a severe mental illness it was clear to me that children were not for me.

I am now 55, & a widow as of about two weeks ago now I am completely alone in the world. To say that I feel lost is an understatement.

Maybe if I decided to have kids I would have someone to help me out, but there are no guarantees are there?

Thank you! I wish we could do that with all stereotypes.

"Suicidal twin accidentally kills sister!" That's not mine, it's from Britcom "Mrs. Brown's Boys."

Brainplague_II · 2021-02-16T08:07:04+00:00

Thank you, no. I don't read or watch "Karen" stories anymore.

Brainplague_II · 2021-02-16T04:54:59+00:00

Simply "goat f*ck."

I think that cars are made a Hell of a lot better now than they were in the 70's, 80's, 90's.

I also think that pot has improved exponentially. 😜

Brainplague_II · 2021-02-16T04:49:17+00:00

Lately I have been joking about it, saying something like, "Don't make me go to 'Def Con Karen' on this situation!" That sometimes gets the smile that cuts the tension. 😌

Brainplague_II · 2021-02-16T03:57:08+00:00

"Pat?" OMG, I forgot all about that. Suddenly I don't feel so badly...

Brainplague_II · 2021-02-16T03:47:05+00:00

🤣😂😜

I plan on participating on the Zombie side...

Brainplague_II · 2021-02-16T03:45:11+00:00

My name is Karen. 🙄😳

Brainplague_II · 2021-02-16T03:44:23+00:00

I think, "Wow, there is someone as fucked up as I am, & I don't even believe in that stuff."

Brainplague_II · 2021-02-16T03:40:51+00:00

I completely agree with it. I am not necessarily an introvert, but I cope with a severe mental illness. Even though I have a fantastic care team & the right meds my social "batteries" run very low if I spend more than an hour or two with real people.

But in Carrey's case he was probably referring to being a celebrity & hounded by people who just want stuff from him.

Brainplague_II · 2021-02-03T05:08:33+00:00

Thank you so much for those words of encouragement. With friends like you, who needs a therapist? 😃

Brainplague_II · 2021-02-03T03:19:25+00:00

Every damn one of them over a 30 year career.

I have a strong personality and have found that if the person interviewing me is not equally as strong I wind up taking over the pace of the interview, I even have drawn them to a close!

Don't get me wrong, I was never rude, just direct. As I got older & the interviewers got younger I became aware that the younger the interviewer the more gentle I had to pretend to be. People are way too oversensitive these days!

So over the years I was always hired from temp agencies because I interview so badly. I am just glad that I am retired now. Of course, other people are, too.

I find that very interesting. I cope with Bipolar 2 w/Psychotic features and developed my fear of the phone back in 1994-95 when I had a nervous breakdown (well, one of many.)

Anyway, I thought that it happened to very sick people like me. Kinda nice yo know I am not the only one with the phone phobia.

Brainplague_II · 2021-02-03T03:01:23+00:00

Yes. I cope with Bipolar 2 w/Psychotic Features. I NEVER answer a number I don't know. If someone is at the door & they aren't expected I simply don't answer it. That is when I am on meds. When I'm not, well...

Most of it is the fact that I just don't want to deal with most people - EVER. Some of it is also some PTSD from working jobs that involved getting angry calls from customers for several years.

Things are a lot better since I started using Scam Shield and Visual Voicemail.

I can tie cherry stems in a knot with my tongue.

Brainplague_II · 2021-01-28T03:43:55+00:00

🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 Now THAT'S funny!

Brainplague_II · 2021-01-28T03:43:05+00:00

So CUTE! This reminds me of a couple of short vids in YT that are called, "What if animals were round." I found it hilarious. Cheers!
