Re: Um... yo-hoo--I'm the cat that actually swiped at you...

Annnnd she's off...Oh wait... no, she's hooked. Got to prove how superior and wonderful she is--and what heathens and mean people the rest of us are, first. Shall I get your halo?

As far as I can tell, you don't need sympathy---you need someone calling you on your dysfunctional behavior. Glad I could help. :) If you ever manage to pull yourself out of this nosedive and get some mental help, you'll thank me. Truly. It's one of the rewards of the job. Seeing folks recover themselves and their life--maybe with a little of my help.
