My thoughts and Prayers are with you!
I think such a book would be big with college students. Not such a big hit with their profs.

VOLUNTEER? Hey, Dude, unless volunteering pays at least $32.50 an hour, I ain't gonna do it!
Actually it is quite true that many shrinks are completely batty. I knew a shrink out in La-La Land. He couldn't drive because of a DUI so one day I drove him, his girlfriend, and his 8 year son to a restaurant. The shrink and his girlfriend were sitting in the back. The son was sitting in the front and he made a funny remark about his father's level of sanity. The shrink then calmly asked me to drive a little faster so I did and was going about 45 MPH. Then the shrink leaned over the front seat and pulled the door handle next to his son, opened the door, and started to shove him out the door. "ALWAYS TRYING TO BE A WISE GUY, HUH!" he yelled.
It was no joke. The kid was screaming in fear as his shrink dad was desperately trying to shove him out the door. Meanwhile I was in a complete state of shock. I hit the brakes and pulled over and the shrink started laughing like it was a big joke..... Yeah, like I said, a lot of shrinks are NUTTIER than their patients.
Sounds like Thanksgiving at her house was real jolly... though probably the Prozac stuffed turkey was a big hit. Strikes me as odd since in my experience, many people in the depths of despair find their family to be their solace. The DUmmies seem to view their families either as a burden or (if they are Republicans) an enemy. Not that we don't all have our "issues" with families (I am sure I have more than my share)... but it isn't because my role in the family is some big "burden."
"I'm heating with wood, not gas. I've had it with the corporate culture that is hostile to the people of this country. I'm done fattening the rich. When I come up with anything new to avoid feeding the beast, I'll share it. "
Someone tell her that the DOD created the Internet.
Embrace the misery!
The only think that I could think of was that the loan was for a house out of town, and maybe he was going to live with friends there. Still, just not taking the time to clarify that demonstrates disconnect.
There was a shrink here who was indicted for using his patients to kill other people. He got one of his patients to put a bomb in the tailpipe of a former employees car. Thankfully it was discovered before anybody got hurt.
"Notice they all seem to be either in therapy,on drugs or somehow broke. It would seem that the party of all the sophisticated,brilliant and elite are actually the underbelly of our society."
Good points, carl...
Notice how this is all Bush's fault! Poor little victims! Damn all of us who would DARE keep the world from revolving around them and from what they want!
Notice how these "victims" aren't expressing any desire to use this trial to become better, more mature people because their wills were probably suffocated by passions and prejudices a long time ago. I can almost hear them say, "There will be NO refinement of character here - and if you try: you're a rethug!"
Notice how everything is about them and about what they (think they) need: a kerry win. How shallow and foolish!
But far be it from me to stand in their way... Knock yourselves out DUmmies - maybe THEN you'll start to "get it"! (good luck)
In May of 2001 I was released after six months in prison. I had a change of clothes and $50 to my name. I also suffer from PSTD and have not slept more than 3 or 4 hours a night in over 11 years.
I have seen a shrink a couple of times, but have mostly dealt with my condition on my own (mostly through a deep devotion to Martial Arts). I never went through a self-pity period when I was homeless and broke. I used that as an opportunity. When you have nothing and are at zero, everything no matter how small is a plus. In two years I went from sleeping in a bay on a cot in a gas station to owning that gas station.
Seems to me, DUmmies in a funk are waiting for someone to "rescue" them instead of dealing with things on their own.

Well said and good for you!!! Talk about using a situation to grow and become a stronger, better person! I don't know you, but I'm proud of you nonetheless and wish you continued success.
There is a point in every organization when counter-productive activity can destroy the organization. I think that DU is almost there. Is it possible to list names of those people who are causing the worst damage and just blocking them in mass?
The Friday after Turkey Day there sales were up .7% and they expected 2 to 4% increase. Haven't heard the sales since then. The Blues will have to get out and do some shopping. The ones who do Christmas, that is.
It sounds to me like these people have WAY BIGGER ISSUES than who happens to be President.
If the DUers who profess to care about these poor souls really did, they would go to their houses, disconnect their internet, and DRAG them to a mental facility for their own good. They are all clearly OCD and don't know it....
OMG! WE LIVE IN A HYPOCRACY! HORSES RULE US ALL!!!!! STAND UP. PEOPLE, AND SHOUT "NEIGH! DOWN WITH HORSES! FIGHT THE PONIES!"
I believe it's a criminologist/scientist who studies the remains of old money standards...
{Grin} Ya think? I'm psyched!
