Is that the huge, jet black one with the relatively wimpy venom that they use on TV and movies because it looks so scary but is almost harmless to humans?
Yeah, this guy.
BenRG:
When I was ten years old, all that mattered was that it was big, scary-looking and cool!

--- Quote from: Oenone on 18 Jul 2019, 07:25 ---It’s also possible Hannelore thinks she’s “better” because she’s been practicing her self care skills in a context wildly divorced from her daily life. It might be that when she’s presented her old triggers she struggles more. We might see a return of JUICY or her mom, both of which would test her.

Oenone, please correct me if I'm reading it wrong, but the way you cast that first sentence using quotation marks makes it sound to me like you believe Hanners is deluded in her belief that her condition has improved.
I would argue that if she feels better and is finding it less challenging to negotiate the world around her, she IS better. If it takes a JUICY or Beatrice level trigger to disrupt her day now, that's still a major improvement. Her threshold used to be much lower.

I honestly don’t remember why I used quotes. It was probably because ppl upthread were talking about her being cured/“better” when it’s probably more accurate to say that her condition is managed and she’s able to experience better quality of life bc of that.

Isn't it the bigger the better? At least if Indiana Jones was right. Though this one seems like it can cause quite a bruise with it pincers.

I've always understood the smaller the scorpion, the more deadly the venom. Or at least the smaller varieties are more likely to be the truly poisonous ones.
