NOTE ABOUT "The Puppy W..."
I can't believe this lunatic is still here. Incredible.
People, please do NOT respond to his posts. His name is Jerry Howe - he is a chronic psychiatric patient living on disability in an Independent Living facility in Orlando, Florida. He formerly lived in a converted garage, sort of a group home, with his poor wife (poor creature does sewing for people), before that building was condemned by the city. Jerry is about 60 years old, and is obsessed with his online persona, being that of a "dog trainer." This is common among people with delusional psychosis. Some believe they are FBI agents. Some believe they own huge office buildings. Some believe they are concert pianists. Jerry believes he's a dog trainer. Traces of his posts show him posting over 100 messages a day, at ALL hours of the day and night, sometimes 3 or 4 a.m. Trust me: this isn't some guy running a professional, 8 to 5 dog training business, and in all likelihood he's never even been near a dog. His "doggy-do-right" is nothing but a high-frequency whistle, despite his claims that just sitting one in the window will cause every dog and cat within 500 yards to lay down and go to sleep. There is obviously a LOT of aggression and pent-up hostility in this guy, as one can see from reading his posts. This isn't somebody you'd want driving past your house late at night, if you get my drift. In any case, PLEASE do NOT respond to his posts. Block them if you can, or at least ignore them. Please don't attempt to discuss his behavior with him, or tell him how rude he is, and for heaven's sakes, please don't "discuss dog training" with him. Hopefully, some day he'll get run over by a truck, or maybe get off his medication and get locked up. Until then, PLEASE ignore him. R.M. |

Hello Ron, There is nothing to be ashamed about if you are mentally ill. Many of our most important contributors suffer from serious mental illnesses which require big gun pharmaceuticals to keep them from going kuckoo for coconuts. HOWEver there is no direct evidence that Jerry is mentally ill, and it is a defamatory lie to say that he is a psychiatric patient. There is direct evidence that he has been extremely heelpful to many dog owners who have failed or ruined dogs with "traditional" training methods. These are the people who are officially crazy aka mentally ill. Please try to do a little more research before you run your mouth, or you could get sued in this litigious society we live in. I'm just trying to heelp.

Lois E. ------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------- MENTAL ILLNESS IN RPD* Mental illness is a public issue in these newsgroups. People are always running around calling other people mentally ill and diagnosing their illnesses. I think it's only fair that we have an accurate list of who is and who isn't mentally ill, so that we can avoid any misunderstandings and promote group harmony. Updated KUCKOO!! KUCKOOO! DING! DING!

Drives a 2003 Toyota Matrix, owns a house in suburban MD, recently got a raise/promotion to US goverment grade 11 (circa $50,000) and promptly decided she couldn't afford her two dogs. With help from non crazy regular (Paulette) and witchcraft practicing regular Sara Sionnach, Nessa has decided to keep her dogs for the time being. She is undergoing training from Janet "Nice Abdominal Surgery and getting Run Over for the Family Pet" Boss. Her results have not been dramatic.

I have chronic major depression and I'm just having a flare." Leah asks "Are you on any medication?" Nessa responds yes for depression, mood swings and ADHD. I have been for over 10 years. --nessa Nessa is Fat as well as crazy ============================= "For what it's worth... I picked up 30 pounds when I started Dilantin. I picked up (just recently) another 20 on risperidol. I hate that I was a size 8-10 before meds and now I am solidly (pun intended) a 22-24. Sad part is, the side effects are worth it. The positive effects are too much to part with." --nessa ============================ NESSA'S HAS A GREAT NEUROPSYCH ============================== Hi, I have a great neuropsych in Arlington Va.

You can become used to them and sometimes need a different one for a while. Until I got on my Desoxyn I rotated Ritilan and Dexedrine every 3 months or so. It is true that anti-depressants or anti-anxiety pills will help with the stimulants so your DR is not wrong. However, perhaps she needs to check into the idea that a switch from cylert to something else might be in order. warm thoughts, Nessa ============================= ============================================= ============================================= Lois E. (of Gary and Lois fame) Lois' has been on tricyclic antidepressants for approximately 25 years. This may be a record. Husband is a cop but there is no evidence that he beats the crap out of her, or that he has for 25 years.

From: Chris Kosmakos ) Subject: Prozac - Good medication or no? I TAKE A SIMILAR DRUG MYSELF "Yes, for very specific behaviorial problems. I would have to trust my vet and behaviorist a lot, and be very sure that I had exhausted every other option before I used Prozac to deal with a dog problem - and I take a similar drug, Zoloft, myself." Lynn K. ============================================= ============================================= Leah Effexor for chronic depression, in denial about being mentally ill. Has taken several other mentally ill medications before settling on effexor for her chronic mental problems.

No Denna, I was just saying with Darlene's personality, she has a way of making grandiose plans when at the top of her manic cycle....as does my daughter. I wasn't saying that anyone with problems could be counted on to be irresponsible." Lois E. ------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------- MENTAL ILLNESS IN RPD* Mental illness is a public issue in these newsgroups. People are always running around calling other people mentally ill and diagnosing their illnesses. I think it's only fair that we have an accurate list of who is and who isn't mentally ill, so that we can avoid any misunderstandings and promote group harmony. Updated KUCKOO!! KUCKOOO! DING! DING! DING! list as of 12/21/2003: list of confirmed or suspected mentally ill (crazy) Regulars Most of whom are women or homosexuals RPD CRAZY PERSON ROLL CALL and BIOS ============================================= ============================================= NESSA NUTCASE MVP (Most Valuable Psycho) of dog newsgroups Successfully dethroned MaryBeth as MVP Nessa blames all the problems in her life moston ADD ADHD Or some other empowering acronym which encapsulates her futility for her Her dog bagel, a large newf mix has used her house liberally as a toilet since February of 2002. Drives a 2003 Toyota Matrix, owns a house in suburban MD, recently got a raise/promotion to US goverment grade 11 (circa $50,000) and promptly decided she couldn't afford her two dogs. With help from non crazy regular (Paulette) and witchcraft practicing regular Sara Sionnach, Nessa has decided to keep her dogs for the time being. She is undergoing training from Janet "Nice Abdominal Surgery and getting Run Over for the Family Pet" Boss. Her results have not been dramatic. CrAzy ReGulAr helping CraZy ReGular Leah helping Nessa ============================= On Fri, 7 Jun 2002 8:40:08 -0400, Leah wrote Nessa wrote: "As far as the depression goes, it's not related to Bagel at all. I have chronic major depression and I'm just having a flare." Leah asks "Are you on any medication?" Nessa responds yes for depression, mood swings and ADHD. I have been for over 10 years. --nessa Nessa is Fat as well as crazy ============================= "For what it's worth... I picked up 30 pounds when I started Dilantin. I picked up (just recently) another 20 on risperidol. I hate that I was a size 8-10 before meds and now I am solidly (pun intended) a 22-24. Sad part is, the side effects are worth it. The positive effects are too much to part with." --nessa ============================ NESSA'S HAS A GREAT NEUROPSYCH ============================== Hi, I have a great neuropsych in Arlington Va. He is at the Rosyln Metro Station. His name is Martin Stein 1911 N Fort Myer Dr. Suite 907 Arlington Va 22209 703-807-2471 Marty is wonderful. He is really the best. He has also given me permission to post his infomation on this Newsgroup. If you call him and see him by all means tell him Nessa sent you. --nessa ================================ ROTATE YOUR STIMULANTS ============================= from: Nessa ) Hi, I often have to rotate my stimulants. You can become used to them and sometimes need a different one for a while. Until I got on my Desoxyn I rotated Ritilan and Dexedrine every 3 months or so. It is true that anti-depressants or anti-anxiety pills will help with the stimulants so your DR is not wrong. However, perhaps she needs to check into the idea that a switch from cylert to something else might be in order. warm thoughts, Nessa ============================= ============================================= ============================================= Lois E. (of Gary and Lois fame) Lois' has been on tricyclic antidepressants for approximately 25 years. This may be a record. Husband is a cop but there is no evidence that he beats the crap out of her, or that he has for 25 years. Had a traumatic experience as a child with a horse running wild in the Pantry and living room. In recent years, shot neighbor's dog from point blank range while it was chewing on her pigmy goat, teaching son to solve problems with the neighbor's using shock and awe levels of violence." BEEN ON TRICYCLICS FOR ABOUT 22 YEARS "I don't take lithium, but I've been on trycyclics for about 22 years. Been there, done that, have the t-shirt to prove it. What's really terrific, is now days you can say proudly, "I take anti-depressives". Back when I started taking them it was seen as something shameful. If you cut your leg off, and were lying there with a bleeding stump, you'd never let the word depressed, pass your lips, or the doc's would say, "You're depressed, on medication? Well, can't have any pain meds.....you could become addicted." The good old days. I actually had a Great Aunt who's father locked her in her room back in the twenties because she was simple. A shame that medication probably would have helped her live a normal life.

Coming forward so that others like her will have the strength to do the same. Like Charlie Wilkes, she is one of our most entertraining regulars Here, kelly/culprit talks to Mustang Sally about her mental illness/crazy problems. Sally is being rude and condescending (as usual) and trying to make kelly/culprit feel bad for being crazy, aka wacked in the head culprit standing up for herself against rude and condescending Mustang Sally ----------------------------------------------- I WON'T DENY MY PROBLEMS, MUSTANG SALLY! "but i stand by the fact that OCD is an illness, major depression with psychotic features certainly is, panic disorder is too. and the other stuff just makes it all the more fun. i don't wallow in it. i'm just now learning to accept it, because ignoring it wasn't working out too well. i need to do that to make changes to my life so that i can become healthy. and you say you're not trying to be condescending, but you're doing it again. what i read was, (my paraphrasing) "people who think they're mentally ill are wallowing in their disabilities and letting them consume their life" you come across as though you would be able to handle any of these illnesses, and anyone who can't is just copping out. well we're all different. and i don't accept your idea that i would have a more productive life if i denied my problems. i tried it for years, and believe me, it didn't work very well." -kelly aka culprit systems engineer @ Microsoft ---------------------------------------------- ============================================= ============================================= MaryBeth FMVP (former most valuable psycho) (super psycho bitch lunatic queen of the mentally ****ed in the head) Has contributed greatly to the annual profit results at several large pharmaceutical corps has taken virtually every mentally ill (crazy) drug treatment in the book, and then some: prozac, zoloft, amitryptiline, Buspar, Xanax, effexor, paxil, HRT, wellbutrin, tranquilizers, clomid, MaryBeth has suffered from or been: TIDAL WAVES OF PMS suicidal, agoraphobic, tidal waves of PMS, mood swings, turned into a hermit, bloated, just real angry, hubby afraid of her, high blood pressure, divorced, "raving bitch" "zoloft zombie" for four years, "living through layers and layers of gauze," chain smoker, buzzing, weight gain, fatigue, terrible dry mouth, dull headaches, fuzzy brain, lack of concentration..etc. severe depression, severe insomnia, Panic ALL the time, crying, not sleeping, you name it...etc... MaryBeth (on being seriously f'd in the head aka mentally ill) aka cuckoo! kuckoo! ding! ding! ding! aka a superpsychotic bitch from hell I RAN OVER EVERYONE IN MY PATH "I know for a fact I went thru years of being overly sensitive, being a b*tch, being self centered, being self pitying, you name it, I was a wreck and I ran over everyone in my path." "G I do know the power of meds, especially on a long term basis, and it's not pretty. You become another person, if it's not the correct med for you. --All the best, MaryBeth DON'T TAKE ULTRAM AND ZOLOFT TOGETHER "Yup Diane, I am taking Zoloft, and my Rheumatologist told me that taking Ultram with it can cause seizures." "I have all the symptoms.I am suicidal at times (cyclical) have severe insomnia, 'crawly' skin etc. I have an appt to see my doc next Friday to test for menopause." --MaryBeth ME NOT SO HORNY "I noticed that antidepressants cut libido into the dead zone and I had no real emotions, like not laughing at funny stuff, couldn't cry either.....except about my suicidal thoughts (but at the time I thought there was no other way out)." --MaryBeth NEW TO GROUP "Hi, new to group, just starting Clomid today. I talked with RE and pharmacist zoloft (50 mg daily) and ineraction with Clomid. They reported none. Not sure about the prozac tho.

Please don't do the same. (((((((SCOUT)))))))))) --MaryBeth WAS HORRIBLE "Slowly but surely my depression got worse and worse. They put me on meds for it, and all along kept telling me to wait on the TKR, as 'it really wasn't that bad.....yet". HA!" The depression got so bad, and lots of other things happened and my ex and I would up divorced four years after our move. It was horrible. The hardest thing I have eve gone thru" --MaryBeth ============================================= ============================================= Theresa Willis (paxil, depression, robot displacement) Theresa is a gang banger who comes out of cutesy robot mode when it's time to gang attack people with her pal shelly Victim is usually Leah, but may be a random person. ============================================= ============================================= shelly couvrette Severe OCD, depression, prescribed Paxil for mental illness, but claims she does not take it, resulting in an obsessive basket case online persona. Posts more than any other female in all dog newsgroups (familial mental illness, possibly related to family bed) obsessively starves her dogs according to friends, family, strangers and 3 different vets, but not herself (see below). Still thinks of herself as a five year old ballerina despite the fact that she is a fat adult in her mid thirties. PAGE ALL THE WAY DOWN FOR BONUS COVERAGE ============================================= ============================================= lynn kosmakos RPD* Enemy of Dogs #1 (Lithium, Zoloft, bipolar, manic, depression) will "put down a biter as fast as anyone" yet claims to be a saintly dog rescuer. Murders dogs because of insurance rates Her brother was attacked by a Golden Retriever when she was young. For this reason, she murders easily trainable dogs. Condemns dogs to death who are easily trainable with her "evaluations." Is nice to people in person, but her true dog hating nature comes out on newsgroups with extreme clarity. Advocates shooting dogs on sight, when they chase deer. Sees no other option. Her own dog Java had to be shocked with a shock collar to keep him from chasing deer. has been on lithium for approximately 20 years. Zoloft for an undetermined number of years 1200mg LITHIUM 50mg ZOLOFT "I, too, have a bi-polar mood disorder (manic-depression) requiring 1200mg of lithium and 50 mg of Zoloft every day. I, also, care about dogs and use this forum to learn more, while happily sharing pertinent information I have learned. But if I were ever to post such sh*t, I would hope that every other reader of this group would be rightfully outraged." WE EARN THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE "Community is an evolutionary thing that we earn the right to participate in by observing the easily understood rules and contributing to in constructive ways." Lynn K. I THINK I'M QUALIFIED TO TALK ABOUT LITHIUM "I particularly remember a comment she made about scarey side effects of Lithium. Hardly. After 17 years on it, I think I'm qualified to say that the very low risk of any side effect is far less frightening than the very real dangers of life without it." Lynn K. From: Chris Kosmakos ) Subject: Prozac - Good medication or no? I TAKE A SIMILAR DRUG MYSELF "Yes, for very specific behaviorial problems. I would have to trust my vet and behaviorist a lot, and be very sure that I had exhausted every other option before I used Prozac to deal with a dog problem - and I take a similar drug, Zoloft, myself." Lynn K. ============================================= ============================================= Leah Effexor for chronic depression, in denial about being mentally ill. Has taken several other mentally ill medications before settling on effexor for her chronic mental problems. Leah is improving as a dog trainer and wants to open her own training/boarding kennel soon and write a book. This drives her fellow mentally ill regulars nuts (read shelly Lynn K.), especially if Leah succeeds while other loonies continue to sit on their fat behinds Leah is a relatively stable crazy person but she just might be the agent that drives others to jump off of a cliff ============================================= ============================================= Tara Green Tara Green is a dog trainer of sorts in New York City left rpd* claiming that she could not afford internet access and/or a computer, but her story is of value nonetheless was on antidepressants for a few years prior to her marriage. During her marriage, she learned a lot: "With the therapist I saw during my marriage I learned that some situational depressions are masked as chemical simply because of our too human ability to prolong the impact of the causal situations indefinitely" Sounds like more denial, see leah Tara is also a drunk who has also had problems with other substances TARA on being a drunk/substance abuser: "Tara (who had some problems with quite a few substances as well, but who thinks they are separate issues.....so which camp does that put me in???)" "Believe it or not, some people don't have a problem with drugs even though they are alcoholics. I'm not one of those people, but they do exist." aka, tara has problems with both ============================================= ============================================= Kevin Michael Vail various mental illness drugs, started with zoloft, didn't like that, then went to antidepressant, stopped after sufficent side effects, now on SSRI and in therapy Kevin is a homosexual but there is no evidence that this is the cause of him being crazy ============================================= ============================================= Furpaw (SSRI, cognitive therapy) otherwise, a fairly boring and nondescript crazy person ============================================= ============================================= Chris Jung (Prozac and Welbutrin, cognitive therapy) another very boring nutcase ============================================= ============================================= Charlie Wilkes drugged out, crazy, ****ed up all his life, Christ the **** he's been through including psych wards and electroshock treatments but now pulling down major cash as a business consultant. Triumphing over adversity, with a damn good life and a well trained dog (very much unlike Leah) One of our most lucid regulars, despite (or maybe because of?) a penchant for phat philly blunts. ============================================= ============================================= Karen DuChateaux aka Karibear suffered from clinical depression for years until some drug or something brought her out of it. Some of her best friends "are certifiable" and have various degrees of psychoses. Familial mental disability. Refuses to say whether or not she is currently using drug or cognitive therapy for mental illness. ============================================= ============================================= Mike "DumbOxDumb" Dufort threatened non violent dog expert Jerry Howe with Mike's fully armed US Army Platoon. Threatened to bring his platoon to Jerry's HOWSE. also OCD (obsessed with Jerry's posts) ============================================= ============================================= Jim "Brain Shivers" Sabatke Jim is currently on Effexor which he takes because of his depression/mental problems. Like many of our mental cases, Jim has had trouble finding the right med(s) to keep him from going kuckoo!! kuckoooo!!! or getting the "brain shivers" From: Jim Sabatke ) Subject: anyone using Effexor? alt.support.depression.medication Date: 2002-11-29 20:25:16 PST EFFEXOR "I'm on 375 mg/day and it has worked wonders for me. The only down side is that my blood pressure has elevated somewhat; oh and if I miss a dose by a couple of hours the "brain shivers" can be really bad. Good luck! Jim "I switched from Paxil to Effexor about 5 months ago. I tapered off of the Paxil and tapered onto the Effexor at the same time." Jim "After several years on Effexor IR, my pdoc tried switching me to XR. I experienced fairly severe Effexor withdrawel until I went back to the IR."

"i think that may be part of the problem. who wants to go to a vet who tells you you're hurting your .widdle precious? i think the other part is that some vets really don't *realize* that what they consider proper weight is fat. after having been told by a couple of vets that my dogs are too thin, i've got a dim view of vets on that topic." --shelly couvrette JUST A BITE WON'T HURT --shelly's mom FEED HER AND I'LL RIP YOUR ARM OFF, BITCH --shelly "my mom is kinda that way, but not *as* bad. she thinks that harriet is awfully skinny, so feeding her table snax is okay. she tells me that just a bite won't hurt." --shelly couvrette NOBODY IS STARVING FAT PI.G SHELLY NOBODY WILL STOP SHELLY ON THE STREET AND TELL HER SHE IS STARVING HERSELF shelly's fat face http://home.bluemarble.net/~scouvrette/Wshelly2.jpg ================================================== ===== There are a lot of big fat women on these groups who starve their dogs out of vanity, but shelly is a special case. shelly is moor.e than a little bit beyond the pale Shelly has OCD, and maybe she's just a little obsessive about measuring out extra tiny and discrete portions with a tiny measuring cup, or counting out pieces of green bean or pumpkin that she gives her dogs when they give her the "I'm Starving" routine. When grandma tried to give Hattie a snack, shelly probably went apeshit, because it was in violation of her Obsessive need to oversee every tiny calorie that goes into her widdle precious' mouth. shelly's a special case, a special kind of dog abuser -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- this marks the end of the rec.pets.dogs.* crazy person list copyright 2003 dogtv.com networks you are free to reproduce this list this is michael reporting live... http://dogtv.com R.M. |
