You might want a gyno visit for that… apparently you have been discharging brain matter when you ran out of uterus lining.

When you deleted his second sentence from the quote you accidentally left the exclamation point.

So now it looks like there’s an unnecessary period.

Mr. Salt: What is this, Wonka? Some kind of funhouse?

I think the only interaction I had with Olalcat was on LJ. I went to her journal, as a discussion was linked off the sdmb LJ. She was going on about all these big problems with having her son living with her. As is often said of her, all suggestions were being vetoed for one reason or another so I said, honestly, that it doesn’t sound like you’re in a place to have your son stay with you - maybe he should stay with his dad. Well, that didn’t go over so she blasted me, quietly banned me and enjoyed the ensuing “he’s an idiot” comments. Ok. The next day I realized that she’d banned me from the sdmb LJ too. I was like “wth? That’s not cool”.

Pretty sure that was my only interaction.

Nice peckin’ party! Is she dead yet? What do you mean she’s already dead?? She’s already dead, and you’re having your pecking party _now?_ You assholes turn my stomach, and that ain’t an easy thing to do.

Why would that be insulting? It is just a comment.
