Not! wanting help..
is there a LARGER component to some people that want some sort ofJUSTIFICATION..camaraderie..turn their gout into some sort of selfrighteous martyr campaign..the misery loves company..and OFTEN goeslooking for it..finding others so that they can ALL sufffer asone..like some brotherhood..oh me and my gout..can’t do that/eatthat/drink that..got gout..gout is acting up AGAIN..
Some people come just a little too well armed..TOO QUICK withtheir rebuttals..almost like they came with ALL “THE” answers..andALL they wanted was someone/group..to agree..CRY IN THEIR BEERtogether..like a little too quick to paint themselves as beingattacked..a little too quick to have their defenses ready.. Shakesperean “The lady doth protest too much”..
I mean..someone that has complained about “Their Gout”..forEVER..they get a ticket for the “A” train..they get shut up..plainand simple..for almost 100% of gout sufferers./they get on thistrain..and it becomes one of..”Now you don’t talk so loud”.. Just logic..you have gout you complain..you take allopurinol..NOWyou have NOTHING to complain about..
I REALLY LIKE..how they have to take a few pot shots..make a fewderogatory remarks..persoanl attacks..AS they leave..”OHHhhOOoo…pleeeze stop that..it sort of tickles..OHHOOooo..I like that..do itsome more…”
AND..SOB sob..I am taking 2 or 3 other members with me..BOOHOO..a few emailed me..
I’ve been doing this gout thing for a LONG time..sure I have hada few emails that were nasty/critical..quit..seen a few at the group..
Take those few emails..the ones soaked with tears..moribund selfpity..loathing? maybe just sheer stubborness..stupidity..oh no I saida bad thing..OOHHHhh bring a fetching wench to spank me..print themon some tissue..have a good commiserating cry..
Me..I’ll take the hundreds and hundreds I’ve received/seen overthe years..from people who have..HAD A NEW LIFE HANDED TOTHEM..thanks to allopurinol..these people GORGING again at the troughof life..
Those emails..they’ll be printed on INDESTRUCTIBLEcloth!..they’ll be SOAKED with LIFE.. PINTS!! of the ol Guinness..quarts of vodka..bottles of the best VIN’..kegs/drums of rum..flasksof whiskey..gallons of gin..there’ll be barbeques..MEAT cooked byFIRE!..chile hotter than Dante’s Inferno..
I’ll help/supervise..we’ll take those emails..we’ll have tugs ofwars..we’ll WRING THEM OUT..AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN..others..ME maywant to lay under the wringing out..we’ll FIGHT! over the last DROPOF LIFE LEFT IN THEM!..
and when it’s over….
WE’LL FILL THE CUP AGAIN!!!!!!!
