@TRAUMAdotJPG 1) Forewarned is forearmed. Wish I'd been packing when Dr. Foul-up vasectomized me WITHOUT ANESTHESIA (having evidently given me a saline solution & took the lidocaine himself). When I began to scream, he told the nurse, "Hold him down, Goddammit!"
@TRAUMAdotJPG 2) Afterward, my balls swelled up like a rhino's. The inflammatory response wrecked other anatomical parts that had to be surgically removed. I was eventually diagnosed as having developed Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy, a 24/7 disorder that sets the bar on the McGill Pain Scale.
@TRAUMAdotJPG 3) This happened in 2002. Conjugal relations have been out of the question ever since. I can hardly stand to wear clothes or be touched ... anywhere. My wife/high school sweetheart is a saint. We vowed to love one another for better or worse ... & this is the worst. Sigh!
@CassyWearsHeels 1) I could care less about this woman's panties. What fascinates me is what's written all over her face:
"Blessed Job 3:12"
Why was I laid on my mother’s lap?
Why did she nurse me at her breasts?
@CassyWearsHeels 2) These lines are from a longer lament in which a grieving Job, much like George Bailey in "It's A Wonderful Life" (1946) rues the day he was born.
@CassyWearsHeels 3) Why wasn’t I born dead?
Why didn’t I die as I came from the womb?
Why was I laid on my mother’s lap?
Why did she nurse me at her breasts?
Had I died at birth, I'd now be at peace.
I'd be asleep and at rest.
"‘I thank you, God, that I am not like other people—cheaters, sinners, adulterers. I’m certainly not like that tax collector! I fast twice a week, and I give you a tenth of my income.’
No one enters suit justly,
no one goes to law honestly;
they rely on empty pleas, they speak lies,
they conceive mischief & bring forth iniquity.
@AngelicaKamen@StopAntisemites 2) They hatch adders’ eggs,
they weave the spider’s web;
he who eats their eggs dies,
& from one which is crushed a viper is hatched.
Their webs will not serve as clothing;
men will not cover themselves with what they make.
@AngelicaKamen@StopAntisemites 3) Their works are works of iniquity,
& deeds of violence are in their hands.
Their feet run to evil,
& they make haste to shed innocent blood;
their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity,
desolation and destruction are in their highways.

1) "To Comrades of the Spartacus League" -- Leon Trotsky (3/9/19) Excerpts
"Kautsky understood the proletariat, having seized revolutionary power, would not stake the fate of the Revolution upon the fleeting moods of the least conscious & still unawakened masses of the moment...
2) " ... but would, on the contrary, transform the entire state power concentrated in its hands into a mighty apparatus of enlightenment and organization of the most backward and most ignorant peasant masses.
3) "But Kautsky refused to issue a certificate of baptism to the Russian Revolution because it was not legally certified by the political department of bourgeois democracy. An astonishing fact! What incredible debasement of Marxism!"

Luke 15:20-24
While he was yet at a distance, his father saw him and had compassion, and ran and embraced him & kissed him ...
@glenn_hughes 2) "And the son said, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you; I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’ But the father said to his servants, ‘Bring quickly the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet ...
@glenn_hughes 3) " ... and bring the fatted calf and kill it, and let us eat and make merry; for this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found.’"
