Oh, dear. That Sam Walton, he's such a troublesome boy.

I am a frigging MAGNET for the mentally ill. I don't get how or why, but it sure seems to be true.

Did I ever tell you nice folks about the security guard who rambled at me about MRIs and mind control? I speak to him every night that I work. He doesn't talk about this stuff very much, and I'm grateful. It's creepy shit. ( It's also really very sad. )

interrobang moment, social commentary, go to sleep already, can't sleep clowns will eat me, abducted by aliens?, wtf?, i'm not sure that really happened, no fair making my brain hurt, they pay me for this

this guy is security??
wouldn't make me feel very secure. i've heard several of the mentally ill express these odd kinds of explanations for what's really happening, and why the meds don't work. it's almost like the illness resists the medication. or that perhaps the unmedicated mental state has less appeal than the medicated one?
i'm not sure.

it's sad.
but. a security guard? creepy. i hope he's not armed. though i'm not sure what the laws are for that in canada.

("unmedicated"= "more appeal") (us plebes can't edit our own messages yet.)

This is Canada, folks. Our security guards are not licensed to carry anything more deadly than pepper spray. Also, it's entirely possible that when he passed the screening test, he was properly medicated and functioning in an entirely neurotypical manner. Now, not so much.

Of course you buy it at Wal*Mart; you buy everything there. I'd mention to him that the quality control is poor at the chain, and that the disk will degrade because of this-I also might mention that the gelatin business is why I eat mine with Cool Whip, but then, I'm a bitch.

Seriously? Have you talked to anyone about this poor man?

I always knew WalMart was evil. Got to hand it to the boy, that's one well thought out piece of fiction.

It sort of reminds me of my friend B (who you see me refer to in my lj) and his mom (paranoid delusional schizophrenic). She's certified batshit -- as in ward of the state, often in a group home and only every so often living on her own. About 5 ot 6 years ago she would have no contact with anyone except for his sister H. She told H to be wary because B looked and sounded like B, and knew the things that B should know, but it was not B and IT was not to be trusted. We refer to this as her "Pod People phase".
