I always want to say, "How about YOU get this, and I'll cheer for you?" Even though I'm only 54, I'm probably a hell of a lot more cantankerous than you. And I used to love a good rant from The Church of the Batshit Crazy on a Sunday. Why don't you go at it?

The number of times I've seen people pour out their desperation and misery in a cry for help, and some fucker chirpily responds with 'you got this!' as if that's somehow meant to help their desperate 'help, I can't cope' plea.

I fucking hate those words. My cousin had a major stroke at 43. Mary, he is a total mess. He can never live alone ever again and now goes to a group of people with head injuries to learn things like how to talk and do the most basic activities of daily living. He needs help with dressing and eating. Some fuckwad wrote that nasty sentence on his Facebook page.
