Who cares if you were deleted?

I was talking with Uncle Snippy last night about our Psycho SIL. He tells me about a comment D made on Facebook followed by several comments before a WTF one by our Psycho SIL. She actually said 'This person unfriended me. I thought you should know.' Which means, the person in question will get the comment back to him/her.

Psycho SIL is one of those who keeps track of her friends and if she's unfriended. We know this because Uncle Snippy tried unfriended her over the summer and she responded within the hour. Me? I eventually blocked her then was unfriended the next day. Hallelujah. No more Facebook verbal diarrhea (yes, she was hidden for the longest time). Only, I wonder why I never got an email asking why she was blocked. Or, did she expect me to send her one asking why she unfriended me?

I don't know off the top of my head how many friends I have or if I ever get dropped. I have people hidden, people I can't figure out how to unhide because I didn't realize I did this and those who show up in my feed. Am I upset if we're no longer friends? Hell no. Why? Because I wouldn't know if I was unfriended in the first place. And, if I was, I wouldn't be so uncouth as to comment about it where the person would be notified.

This goes back to one of the basic problems I have with Psycho SIL. She's always been able to say and do whatever she wants without consequence. Everyone else? How dare we agree with her the sky is a lovely shade of blue today. Or some such nonsense.

One is damned if we do and damned if we don't where she is concerned. And D hasn't the balls to call her out. He lost them a long time ago.

Snot faced and gimpdom

Such is my life lately. I've had a lingering sinus infection for months now. Constant sniffling along with tissue use.

Yesterday my back went out on me again so here I sit in the one position comfortable: hunched over the keyboard. I can't say how painful it'll be once I stand. Any type of movement which involves the muscles of my back and abs hurt. Clearing my throat? You'd be surprised what muscles engage in the lower back.

I'm frustrated with the run around regarding my back. My primary, upon seeing the results of my MRI, says I only need physical therapy and neurontin. I've been dealing with this for 9yrs, gone through several rounds of physical therapy and nothing is changing for the better. She knows this. Understood I wanted a referral but asked me to wait until after the MRI. Now? No referral.

Not only am I hobbled by my back, I'm hobbled by military insurance.
