There’s two of them. One in IMHO called “The Anxiety is Killing Me” and another in MPSIMS called “I’m so Upset I Can’t Even Think of a Proper Pit Title.”
Also, I wonder about the etiquette of letting the pittee know what’s going on. I dropped her a link in her thread in MPSIMS, but since she hasn’t shown up to defend herself, maybe another one needs to be posted in IMHO.
ETA: Curses! Double ninja’d!!
n/m re: faithfool
Wait a minute, CP. I read what you edited out and I have two things to say… One, show me where I’ve ever said anything negative about you or voiced any suspicions. I thought letting you know you’ve been pitted so that you could respond and defend yourself was not only courteous, but appropriate. That’s how it’s always been done around here.
Two, you did indeed offer to send me some cash regarding my husband’s problems and I didn’t take it from you because of your situation. If you think what I posted is a “sob” story, well, that’s your right. But all I was attempting to do was what I saw as the right thing within the Doper community and how I’d want the situation handled myself.
That’s why i edited out and wrote ‘n/m’ because I realized I may have confused your posts with another’s and didn’t think. I just reacted. So that was on me. And I never thought you were begging for cash or anything. Your posts were appropriate.
See? Pit threads are bad.
I’ll ask again what I asked in one of the other train wrecks, what good do you hope to accomplish by posting this stuff here? These are not your therapists or your friends. Don’t expect everyone to agree with what you say and don’t post if you don’t want to hear comments that you dislike.
'if you prick us do we not bleed?" If you are trying to get over on us, do we not want to figure it out?
Maybe it is better for you C.P. that we are all not just going along with the drama, real or imagined.
It lets you more honestly know how it is coming off to others. It may assist you to find the help you need, rather then just having people (like props) there to hear your chronic complaining, trying to figure out how you want them to assist. And since you often come back to mentioning your financial problems, complete with amounts needed , it is not strange to assume that you are hinting that we should send you cash.
There’s con artists trolling for money, and there’s con artists trolling for sympathy and attention. And complaints of “I was robbed of $500 by a car dealership!” “I need X dollars for Y but don’t know how to get it!” are certainly likely to be perceived as trolling for money as well as sympathy and attention.
So many of the posts CP makes indicate a pretty scary level of being completely unable to make rational adult decisions. Don’t have $250 for a visit to a psychiatrist? See a cheaper general practitioner. Don’t have money to pay off an old bill at a car mechanic? Don’t take a different car to that same mechanic. Can’t trust someone not to give you an STD? Don’t hang out with that person any more and don’t trust their statements of financial support.
Some of these things are not rocket surgery.
I’ve kept up with the chlamydia/baby stuff, but there are sassy black students, too?! Linkage, please!
There are more, and this isn’t a tremendous example, but this is the one I was thinking of:
you know, that doesn’t really suffice as a convincing response to the many holes in the numerous stories you’ve shared here. it’s certainly your right to respond/not respond as you see fit, but just saying basically “that’s not true” is not going to give you credibility.
I think she’s channeling Dangerous Minds.
i liked that movie.
Apparently so did she.
it’s a guilty pleasure
You make 10k a year? If you really are not lying about any of the things you’ve posted you need to seriously reconsider your financial habits. Private school and new cars and new phones and all the other things you’ve talked about do not go along with a 10k income. I speak from experience. So on that claim alone I am already dubious.
I know there have been gratuitous pot-shots in some of these threads, but many of the comments about your parenting are not random insults, they’re reasonable concerns. If you genuinely are raising a 7 year old, you are providing a terrible role model for him and introducing him to a whole world of troubles - financial, personal, and emotional - that he shouldn’t have to worry about. He is not ‘meticulously cared for’ at all, and if he is real and you are describing the situation accurately, then he *should *be removed from your care. There’s no reason to pretend that isn’t true just so that you don’t hurt someone’s feelings.
**florez **is right - if you are being honest about any or all of what you’ve told us, we wouldn’t be doing you any favours by giving you nothing but huggles and support. The responses you’ve gotten are a reflection of how you really come off to others, and you might want to pay attention to that.
Of course, I still think this is all likely either bullshit or a dramatic stretching of the truth, but that’s neither here nor there.
I just wanted to repost this for emphasis. Regardless of how you think you’re coming off CitizenPained MANY people are reading you as either a complete wackaloon with no business raising a child, or a total scam artist trying to get internet wankers to pay her bills.
Regardless if either of those things are true, you should at least consider that your history on here is searchable and if you put these things out there, you can’t take them back after.
Seriously - perhaps a break from the computer for a while. Or play some facebook games. Or do something that doesn’t air quite so much of your personal business.
YMMV, IANAL, blah, blah, blah.
Particularly since a Google of your real name (say by an employer) brings up your username, and then a Google of your username brings up these threads.
I haven’t paid CP much attention since my bullshit-o-meter got pinged by her “I’m so cool because my students say I’m a black girl” :rolleyes: posts. Since then, it’s just been a vomitus of questionable posts and drama and neediness.
But seriously? Girl, your real name comes up on the first page of a google search of your user name. On what planet do you think this is a good idea, professionally or otherwise? You’re a mess, and you’re spewing it all over the internet. Your posts to the Denver Post, to SD, to Facebook, Etsy, milehimama and all manner of online venues are right there for anyone to see - and it’s also easy to see the [del] lies [/del] inconsistencies you’ve spewed out.
You may indeed be a tortured soul and the unluckiest person on the planet, but what benefit are you expecting by constantly yapping about it all over the interwebs? Love, regard, gift packages, money, compassion? I don’t think so. At this point you’re just coming off as a complete looney-toon, an unfit parent and an unemployable, sick, pathetic whack-job. If you need help, I hope you get it.
Meticulously caring for her son somehow includes donating $200 to charitable causes instead of buying him a bed, or paying off her debts, or seeking the mental health care she so desperately needs. She should not be in charge of children at all - and the fact that she’s both a teacher and a mother is disturbing.
