Current Talk '06 II / Re: Moments that made you go "WHAT?!!!!"

I'll just throw in one last comment and back away cautiously from the whole subject, because it's not really good for me to stay in this one. I don't know if DQs exist (though I like that cherry dip they have for the ice cream cones... I'm getting confised now, sorry), from lack of personal experience, but the existence of the idea is dangerous. It's too easy to give in to temptation to misapply it. I have a destructive medical condition that is automatically dismissed or at least downgraded in most people's imaginations, to something far less severe than it really is, because it's so hard to come up with language for. People assume that if it were serious, I'd have no trouble talking about it. Something like that.
I'm then treated by many of these people as a "DQ" in everything but name. I was never literally awarded the title, but they were thinking it pretty loudly, or an equivalent. 26 years of this. I'll stop there, since no one wants to read that depressing an autobiography. And contrary to the opinions of those people I've had to deal with in life over all those years (not any of you), I can't stand drawing attention to myself, and to this "thing" of mine.
I just hope people will try to think twice or half a dozen times, before making that judgment about someone. Just be careful, please. Maybe you already do, and if so, thanks.
