None of our jobs are worth much right now. People who work in hospitals and the people keeping essential businesses running are the only people really doing anything worth **** right now. IMO.

We need lawyers to sue those people when the mds commit malpractice, the hospitals reject the sick, and when the govt screw over everyone - ( except therapists who deserve whatever they get). I don't quite agree about who is doing anything worth anything right now -but I also don't really care a lot one way or the other about that.
I do have fun disagreeing about therapists.

I try to choose easy to grow plants. Plants that need a lot tending dont do so well. I have long history of indoor plant deaths. A a good deal of luck i think.

So they screwed up and charged me to fix their error. Talk about morally bereft.

Are all lawyers morally bereft? No, they're not. Are all therapists? No, most certainly not.

Lawyers are kind of used to people thinking we are terrible.

I think plants take skill. Thank goodness I am better with pets than I am plants.

I killed a cactus once. That convinced me to give up on plants.

Yes, BCM, you are una’s woman of the hour.

Here's my problem with this. For some of us, this is life or death. We rely on our therapist and our therapist has been there for us. Why intentionally sow doubt into that dynamic? They're not all morally bereft and just in it for the money and air conditioning. It's hard to tell if you actually believe that ALL therapists are scoundrels or it's just something you enjoy going on about. It can be really disheartening to someone in one of those life or death situations to hear that their therapist and all therapists are in it just for the money. Are they all good people? Hell no and we shouldn't stop calling the bad ones out. But they're not all bad people either. I don't know what the point is in constantly saying that all of them are bad.

Cactus are terrible there is a fine line between overwatering and just enough and just enough and not enough.

And here I came to check in and ramble about the new apartment. Instead I find out I’m in the process of becoming morally bereft. I wonder when it happens. The moment I decided to go back to school? Or perhaps when I start my internships. I’ll definitely report my findings here.

No I’m not crying you’re crying.

I have just noticed with the restrictions the keyboard warriors and grammar nazis are out in force on my local fb pages. Time to look somewhere else. One fb group has a great admin who removes unhelpful posts.

1. Why on earth take my opinion all that seriously
2. Law students go through the same process.

I have made several loaves of bread that I can't give to others and that I shouldn't eat and that I don't have room to freeze.
MAybe if I slice and cook longer they will become homemade dog biscuits

Bread pudding? Any duck ponds nearby?

1. Something I’m working on in therapy. Not with you in particular, but generally with people.
2. I don’t think that’s universally true. Nor is any one thing universally true.

I think you aren't supposed to feed ducks bread anymore. On the other hand, I have gotten really good at scoring the loaves. I am working on my own wild yeast sour dough starter.

I was kidding - I was not being literal.

It’s always so hard to tell with you. For me at least.

I am watching a Johnny English movie- I like james bond spoofs. I also like Rowen Atkinson - Except for his Mr. Bean - I could never get into that show.

Mr Bean was my favourite i could so relate to him.

stopdog · Mar 28, 2020, 10:49 PM

I know he was a really popular character and even a cartoon.

Tomorrow I am going to try and make Dalgana - and I don't even like sweet coffee -I just want to make it.

Did you see those plants shes growing?

Its true tho - my marriage proposals are like a game of ring around the rosie. Or maybe i mean musical chairs. Or farmer in the dell. Or pin the tail on the donkey. Or a three legged potato sack race. Its a sprint, not a marathon!
