"If you think no one cares about you...

was at church tonight for the third day helping folks out with the greek festival, in the kitchen area, being a runner. A runner means if a tray of food starts to go down, im in charge of getting it filled again. and i guess its okay but...it really bothers tthe crap out of me that everyone talks to me like im 12.
my stammer has everyone convinced im one of those special (retarded) children... and fuck you, im saying it, because thats what we used to be called back then.
retarded.
no matter im a fucking 165 IQ and can think most of these people under the fucking table.
no matter my vocabulary is probably around 25,000 words or so.
no matter im a hell of a writer with credits and published work.
but no...my stammer means theres something wrong with me, and its up to them to assume that and talk down to me... tonight it really got to me...people telling me where things are, i get it. how to get trays, yeah i get it too.
FUCK YOU... I'm almost 58 years old....
do i still have to be retarded to you all?

THAT just gets me.
Tell them that. And tell them that just because you stutter doesn't mean you're stupid and that it's an insult.
Of course you shouldn't have to, but they obviously need to learn.
The fucking president has a stutter. People should understand this stuff by now. You have no obligation to put up with it.
I can only imagine your frustration Riff. The world is filled with the mundane and mindless who only see to the ends of their noses. People like you see it every day because you have to deal with it.
*hugs...

i already told them im bailing out today.
its volunteer, what are they gonna do, fire me? =P
i can only put up with that shit do much.

Special (gifted), that is.
So what if you stammer?
The actor with the biggest TOTAL box office gross of all time, Samuel L. Jackson, has a stammer!
Nobody makes fun of him!
Just pretend those idiots are the Snakes on your Plane. ;)
i know im in great company but the country has about 6 million of us and i'll be damned if theres any technology that assists US yet.....
if anything, the tech hampers us more.

you let me know how many times youre asked to tell people what you want. =P
And it is terrible, because not only have I been discriminated against by other people, but also by other members of my own family, including my own brothers, especially by the youngest, who treats me in a condecending manner, to such a degree that, according to my own mother, in the event of her death, he will be the executor, which means that he will have a lot of economic power over me and my other younger brother.
I sure as hell wouldnt give a second thought about it.
I was adopted right out of the newborn center so im cool without a family if need be.
but yeah, its bad that this country doesnt give a flying fuck about approximately 8 million people who have this problem.
the housing market is so ready for a crash, its going to make 2007's like a picnic in the park.
That would mean, if my younger brother wants to, he could kick me from my house after my mother's death and no one would mind, since he would be in his full rights to do it. Not to mention that, since he is somewhat wealthy, he can afford good lawyers in order to twist the laws against me if he wanted to.
And I thought I might move to Belize someday.......
Don't waste your time with people who don't see you for who you are.
i mean, its a great church but...i just wish people wouldnt do that shit to me.
its high time people get that... we are sick of the assumptions.
