The New Hobbit Hole

[Overtaxed]

Good Morning!

OK, I registered at NaNoWriMo. Now what do I write about?

[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

Good morning! I am still posting on my daughter's laptop. I just bumped the 'SECOND PLANE FLIES INTO OTHER TOWER!' thread, for those who can't figure out why we are attacking Saddam! You had one of the earliest comments there.

[irishtenor]

Yup, stuck at work. Question for you and your friends... Cable or phone line? Before I hook my computer up and wire my den I need to make a descision.

[HairOfTheDog]

Good morning! Irish Tenor! Cable! - 20 times faster than phone line, and around $50 bucks a month.... It is well worth the money.... never wait for a page to load again, and download anything you want in minutes instead of hours!

You are not going to believe it.

You know that guy in Sunday school that I offended a couple of weeks ago? That psychologist? Didn't I tell you about that and that I didn't really want to go back because I could tell he was pretty mad?

Well, I went back anyway and shouldn't have! He came up to me and really gave it to me, told me I didn't know what I was talking about and on and on. Steve took me by the arm and said "Let's go" because I was starting to cry. He brought me home and has now gone back to get the boys.

Steve was pretty mad. I don't know what I'm going to do. I'm just sitting here bawling.

I will go with your recommendation, and penny's, when she gets back from church, if I can get cable hookup in my area. I think I can.

[HairOfTheDog]

Remind me what you said to him before! - I remember that there was an incident, but not what caused it!

My memory is foggy!

Oh I hope you don't bawl anymore 2J!

[HairOfTheDog]

I think Penny is a DSL user, which about as fast (but I think I am a little faster on downloads)... It is not available everywhere cable is, though... You have to be in town to get it. If you have both options, check the price!

[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

I think that happenned even before my PC went down on 9-12, since I remember it. Whatever you did, that guy had no right to do that to you! Some psychologist he is!!

[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

By the way, do you have the money to bail your husband out of jail, in case he does what I would do in those circumstances?

[2Jedismom]

Well, it was rather touchy. I made a comment about how the mental health industry is failing it's patients in many ways by keeping them depending on the industry. They actively promote their medications, almost convincing people with the commercials they run on TV that they have problems. They never offer the healing power of Jesus Christ as even an Option, because it's not politically correct and heck, if Jesus heals, you're HEALED by cracky...and that's not good for business!

Well, now I painted with a broad brush, because there are wonderful Christian mental health clinics that do promote healing and independence. But apparently this hacked this guy off pretty bad...he said so right in class. But then class was over and we left, but I didn't want to go back.

Come to find out later on, he's a deacon...high up in the church "leadership" and a bigwig on TV (which I never watch tv, you know).

[2Jedismom]

LOL! I sure hope it doesn't come to that...I told him not to say a word to him. But Steve was pretty angry.

Thanks...I needed the chuckle.

[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

Strange that he would get so angry at that, psychologists can't even prescribe medications!

[Overtaxed]

Having a hard time facing the truth, is he? A friend of my mom's had a son sent to one of those Charter mental hospitals. He was declared "cured" only after they ran out of insurance money. And the poor kid wasn't any better off before than after.

[2Jedismom]

That's true! I thought at the time he was over reacting and the fact that he harbored it all this time and took the first chance he's seen me to jump on me about it makes me wonder about him! I suspect he's probably irritated with the suggestion that he ought to offer Jesus as a treatment. For one thing, he knows he should be and it rankles him that I brought it up. So all he can do is trash me.

I feel most badly because I want my kids to go to that church...it's where all their friends are...their greatest social interactions are there. Probably Steve will go back to the class and I'll go work in the library.

[Overtaxed]

Anyone who goes to a psychologist ought to have his head examined! :)

[2Jedismom]

Exactly, OT. That's exactly it.

[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

Charter went bankrupt, as is appropriate for 'doctors' primarily concerned with $$$!

[Overtaxed]

Good Riddance!!!

[2Jedismom]

I'm not saying that there isn't a need for therapy and such. The topic was self-accountability and I have seen with my own two eyes how the mental health industry downplays self-accountability.
