Does it really take 14 pages to tell what the fuck is the problem with Opal? I guess it’s more than I thought. (the nazi lamps thread was pure gold, btw) ---

> [@Diogenes\_the\_Cynic](#): > > Since when is being an “artist” an excuse for anything? Well, see, that’s the thing: it’s an _explanation_ for her behavior, but not an _excuse_. “She’s an artist” tells us _why_ she acts like she does. If it were an “excuse”, it would make her behavior okay. Which it doesn’t. ---

> [@](#): > > **pantheon** said: > The plastic surgery funding has been mentioned several times. I’m pretty sure I’ve read every post in this hilarious thread, including at least one other person asking for a link to such, but I haven’t seen a response. Well, she refers to it being in Brazil here: [Then as you all know, I went to Brazil to have my surgery](http://fff.fathom.org/forums/showthread.php?t=17760) And some more details: [Today I see a dentist, a nose specialist (clearance for my rhinoplasty) and get an ultrasound of my legs. The lab doesn’t do the blood test to screen for clotting anymore ☹](http://community.livejournal.com/surgerybrazil) Both of those appear to be about the second surgery, but here’s a reference to the [weight loss one](http://www.duodenalswitch.com/forum/showthread.php?t=391). Looks like [her mother paid](http://opalcat.livejournal.com/1757274.html?thread=4290138) for the second round of surgery in Brazil. I remember some kind of annoyance about her using Fathom donations for one of the plastic surgery trips, but my Googling is apparently unable to find it. ---
