Letting a teen die is much much harder. Definitely. But then we are, imho, all teens.

I wasn't intending to make fun of the way chooseanother mother who chooses Jif handled her contact, I was just picking something to, you know, illustrate. Heh heh. Well, to point out how that strikes me sometimes. As funny. "Look at the bright side." Ka-POW. I know you didn't say I was, either, so don't worry; but I liked the part where choose said no one can take certain things away from him. From us. I like that. Fuck the rest of them, but I can still hang on to just this little teeny bit of me. Me. (Eg, my multiple personality.) (My little rusty thing.)

"....feeling of control." "trying to open a teeny connection between the world and the suicide, and giving back some feeling of control." Very respectful. Very human. Humane.

On another note, dear Rambi, I was just outside and I found my little pad of instruction notes? I keep little notes to tell me what to do? From the part that is smart, to any other part that can read? Because the smart part isn't there all the time, and the other parts can't remember what it thinks. So it discovered paper and writing. It's used like a time machine, to travel into other parts. Send things into the future. Then, in the future, you get things from the past. It's amazing, really. The SmartPart stops and writes something down, say a turnkey thing that needs to be done first ~ it writes it down if it can find a goddam pad ~ it writes it down, even though it demeans it. Because it has learned to cooperate. Man, it bugs it sometimes, like if it has to look for paper, while it's thinking. Or write; while it's thinking. But it writes it down anyway, because it knows it will do no good to think, otherwise. Chaff. "Thoughts" are helium chaff, to those other boys. And then lo and behold, what if one of those guys stumbles on to it? This morning. Wow! Just like that. Bingo. Well, I found this following note this morning. It's from the smartpart, I think, except it says, I have it right here, it says ~ in pencil because ink gets wet ~ it says: (This is the truth.) (Should I tell you guys this?) (I mean, this is by no means unique, but it is a little peculiar, even by itself.) It says: (Who writes this kind of stuff down? Huh? I am very serious about notes, too; I mean I don't like to waste time with useless mash.) It says: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I think I noticed something yesterday. But I'm not sure what it is. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ That's what the pad says. It's right here. I garrantee you, it's a "real" note. I mean a "serious" note. Right next page under it are serious instructions about desks and watering. What was the smartboy up to? Whatever it was, was obviously over his head. "Here you are, Smartboy ~ Take a look at this note." I think I noticed something yesterday. But I'm not sure what it is. (Fistfight breaks out.)
