So my daughter is in the ABC store stocking up on holiday booze gifts. She turns while waiting in line to pay and sees this man unzip his pants and proceed to pee all over the floor and the liquor on the shelves. My daughter goes over to a manager and tells him what she saw and was met with a shocked stare. But there was the evidence and the relieved man. She said he had to have drunk at least a case of beer... said he was greatly relieved after emptying his bladder. A shuffle ensued, the cops were notified but the man gets away. They got his tag number so we await the morning paper.

I thought this deserved a diary.

This, my first diary, is something I need to share about bi-polar disease. My son was diagnosed with Bi-polar disease in the ER of a hospital where I had taken him when he was acting sick and strangely. I begged them to at least take an x-ray. They said his symptoms didn't warrant it nor a cat-scan. They told me to take him to a mental health facility. It turned out, after I took him back in the next few days,a surgeon happened to be in the ER and had a scan done and found he had a glio-blastoma....a brain tumor. My son died. He was 33.

I found out one can have a cat-scan to absolutely diagnose whether one has bi-polar. Every doctor with whom I've discussed this says everyone should have this done rather than being diagnosed by questionaires. I'm certainly no expert but maybe there are those out there who are and can give more advice. Read More
