"Swarms of earthquakes" doesn't sound "good" Merle. If we were talking "swarms of bees", I'd advise jumping in the water.
In this case, I'd jump to Robyn's house, and say 'hello' to all her visitors.

I trust you are not making light of the deep meanings that are available to the erudite scholar from a study of Friesian Deformed ecclesiastical accounting, especially that of the sixteen hundreds.
Why, I myself have written two extensive treatises on the subject, in one of which I play Devil's Advocate and the other, a glockenspiel.

Lau knows all about them and is even going to break his slumbers to see the flares flash by.


I on the other hand, have but a vague idea what they are, nannarob, however I hear they are quite bright.

Merle..It is such awesome news that you are going to be seeing this new psychiatrist Be sure and share any insights here. I always hoped I would find a psychiatirst that I thought was smarter then me...I know how that sounds but it's not that I think I'm "so smart" just that I have met so many really clueless ones and it is hard to open up to some one that you don't have any faith in their own reasoning abilities. I think a few of them might have picked up on that from me?


I don't have National Geographic channel(can't talk my bf into the added expensive of digital cable....yet)but I hope they spend as much time talking about possible goals, (the most important is creating a longer lasting gestalt about energy and waste then the one I recall being a "trend" in the 70's) and not just show how we are screwing up the planet. I think a half and half would be ggod...seems a lot of such shows save the...."what can you do" to the last 5 min. and it is pretty superficial. We need to change the whole perspective about consumption and how it is tied to our economy and the psychology of humanity, (confusing need and want).
I'm hoping they pick it up on another cable channel soon so I can watch.

Lurking.

I'm afraid my family doesn't have cable or sattelite. I found we were on the computers or listening to music instead and it wasn't worth the amount I had to pay out for it each month so I had it disconnected over a year ago. I only miss having 5 channels, BBC and BBC Kids, Animal Planet, Discovery, The Comedy Network, and The History Channel.

Hartz, hon, I sent you a pm.

Good for you.

Psychiatrists are a dime a dozen.

Geez, I don't check in for a day and a half, and look at what you people get up to!

For those who, for one reason or another, didn't get the "shirt" gag: On the original Star Trek, the crew wore long-sleeved, pullover shirts, each in a color appropriate to their department: gold for command staff and astrogation/helm; blue for sciences and medicine; and red for engineering and support staff (including Communications and, infamously, Security). They also wore black pants and black boots.

The publicity still I saw of the Wiggles showed the four of them wearing black pants and boots. As well, each was wearing a long-sleeved, pullover shirt - one gold, one blue, one red, and one purple. (Section 31, maybe?)

actually it was a lot more expensive than that, I bought him breakfast (biscuits and gravy.) I have only been tentively accepted by medical science and already I feel a lot different about what I have self diagnosed.

I was prepared (I'm a writer, right?) for his first question and he had the presence of mind to write it down word for word. I said:

"Long ago, when I was a young girl pestering adults with endless questions I was told that God Himself would paitiently answer all my questions when I went to heaven. When I listened to that NPR radio broadcast about Asperger's Syndrome it was like I was having that little chat.
The only time I have ever been so absolutely certain of anything else was when I realized I was an alcoholic - that is how profound my belief was."

And at this, he just reached past his shirt lapel and pulled a thick gold necklace out from his tee shirt with an 11 year AA sobriety medallion dangling from the end of it. It was his way of letting me know he understood completely.

the adventure continues
