I am eternally hopeful for the well-being and the healing of those who
suffer from illness, injury or mental defect. Brain seems to be batting
about .666 in that regard. (Ironic, the average, eh...?!?!?)

Perhaps.

Maybe.

Highly likely.

Or perhaps he is just
baiting you, in order to
get you to behave a
certain way.

Might be.

Probably is.

Are you sure?

He and Len are masters
of that......:-)

Lennie perceives himself as a masterdebator. He's close, but no
cigar.

Sometimes a cigar
is only a cigar.

But some cigars are better than others. Hence the trafficing in illegal
Cuban cigars.

He's obvioulsy hurting
from some untold trauma and he needs some encouragement to overcome it.

Or perhaps he is just
baiting you, in order to
get you to behave a
certain way.

Could be.

Highly likely.

Better than average? I think you give him more credit than due. To
suggest that he could premeditate an act is really stretching things a bit!

I know that short of having a steel rod driven through his head,
Brian
Burke can do better. He HAS done better. He was off to a really good
start
the other day. But just as soon as I started returning his civility in
kind,
he turned around again.

Perhaps he does not
want to do better.

Perhaps he CAN'T do better.

Perhaps he is
waiting for you
to set the example.

By what? Caving in to his mistruthfulness or his immatue and
irresponsible conduct?

Nope.

I'd rather think he's just operating with diminished mental
capacity. That WOULD explain a lot.

He says the same of you.
We have seen claims of
remote diagnosis of
'turettes syndrome'.

(Even we know that it
is "Tourette's Syndrome")

Q: How many therapists does it take to change a lighbulb?
A: Just one - but the lightbulb has to want to change.

Brain is the kid who always picked his nose just to see if he
could "gross" someone out regardless of what it did to his own
reputation.

He's still doing it.

Why give an audience and
reaction to such behavior?

To allow him and Lennie a forum without challenge leaves them the only
ones being heard. Not a good alternative.

Pointing out thier errors and thier irresponsible behaviour is a far
better response.

And they DO give us plenty of opportunities to do THAT, don't they... ! !
!

I think the idea of having to live up to his OWN rhetoric about the tone
and temperment of the exchanges was more than he could handle. Lennie's
handmust have slipped out of the pocket long enough to let Brian act
independently,
but he obviously got it back in before Brian could really get a good
running
start.

Too bad. Now he's babbling again. And he accuses ME of being "off your
meds".

Sheeeesh.

Or perhaps he is just
baiting you, in order to
get you to behave a
certain way.

I perhaps your perhaps and raise you a "could be"....

We see your could be and
raise you a probably.

I see your probably and call.
