    This script when run from console will try to pull the MID you pass
    via command line. It will create a new file with the same name and
    store the entire post if found in it. To pass the MID you'd do this:

    getmid 'MID with brackets' and it will save the message under the
    same name as the MID in the current folder you ran the command from.

    Sounds similar to what I did

    This may come as a surprise to you Michael but nobody here gives a
    flying fuck all what you do.

    Why do you insist on turning every thread you participate in, which is
    all of them, into a thread about your psychological issues Michael? Now
    go and fuck yourself because I doubt you can find someone else who will.

    Well, there is always the old, worn out hag still sitting at the bar at closing time so I suspect even snit could get laid once in a while.
    That's assuming snit hasn't pissed off some biker who kicks the living shit out of him forcing snit to make a quick exit.
    The latter is far more probable in my opinion.

    The frustration with him in this format is annoying enough. In real life - I wouldn't be able to resist the urge to put him in his rightful place within reason. A matching set of racoon eyes is exactly what the Dr ordered for his speedy recovery. That's one fine that would be worth paying twice over.

    You're going to have to spring for the tab because Brock Glasser's wife
    took him for every last dime. Be careful though because Brock likes to mix
    up cocktails consisting of prescription drugs so mixing alcohol with them would not be a good idea.
    Or maybe it would?

    Snit is a parasite attached to free stuff from the government. He has no intention of getting a legitimate, tax paying job. As for being effeminate give a listen to his videos and decide for yourself.
    I won't comment.

    I'll make sure my phone is fully charged and ready to record the fun.

    Make sure you set up a YT account before meeting up with snit. This way you can upload your videos of him in action and who knows, maybe it might go viral.

    'I looked at some of your old posts - you say

    left me with side effects.
    I am now trying Lexapro... Hoping that does better. I
    also take lorazapam as needed - very small doses, usually
    1/2 of a .5 mg tablet (ever
    try breaking one of those tiny things apart!). That
    sometimes works...Sometimes just makes me feel drugged. I
    do jump up to a full .5 mg if the 1/2 is not working.'
