[QUOTE="Star*, post: 161526, member: 4964"] BBK, Hugs -hon Dude was like that. To this day we tell him that NO ONE gets or ever got entertained as much as he did and does. He's unable to explain it to me or anyone else. He just says he's like the energizer bunny and it's like he's compelled to keep going or fears he'll die from boredom. When my health got bad, I snapped at him and told him that if he had not made me so stressed out with all his behavior bs I probably would be able to go and do but as it was I was sick. He didn't care, never forget it. The doctor told me to bring him with me to my appointment. He looked Dude right in the eyes and told him that his behavior was adding to my stress and causing me to be sick. Then he told him that I needed him to give me a break because I may have a brain tumor and Dude never missed a beat. Left the doctor's office, got in the car and he said "So can we go to Kmart and look at bikes? How bout that bike store on the way home. yadda yadda yadda yic yik yic all the way home." So Mr. Glitter Lips went back to Ms. Sparklefanny after he gets you to give him a ride huh? What the heck is wrong with them? DO NOT answer.
