  1. Manhattan, Kansas over Lawrence, Kansas? Yeah ... NO.
  2. Brutha, I could tell you stories about what incredible harm is being done by Militant Fat Activists not just in the mental health field but in society in general.
  3. Have them take over Haas. It would only cost them a wooden nickel and a night of passion with South Austin's mom. Fuckin' Haas. The aggy of F1.
  4. First, keep in mind that YOU are interviewing them. You are the employer. They will be working for you. (Yes, I know that seems strange since you are paying for their services) THEY need to earn your trust. And, if they don't answer all of the questions you have to your satisfaction, look elsewhere! Here are some websites that could help you with questions: https://medcircle.com/articles/questions-to-ask-a-new-therapist/ https://www.health.harvard.edu/depression/10-questions-to-ask-when-choosing-a-therapist https://www.huffpost.com/entry/questions-therapist-first-session_l_5d165604e4b082e55368cc5f When I started seeing a therapist (really a psychiatrist) last year, I grilled him. One question I asked which helped me was, "I have been practicing law for 37 years. If a run of the mill, small case comes in, I am going to turn it away. There is no challenge there, I will get bored and not do my best work. If you believe you will not be challenged by me, I need to know. You have been doing your work a long time and have probably heard everything. So, I need to know what about our relationship you believe will challenge you." As for finding a therapist, there a number of websites. You can start with this one though: https://www.findatherapist.com/search/ goodtherapy.org is also an ok place to start looking.
  5. Many in the mental health field are calling mental health issues the next pandemic which has already arrived. Waiting lists for many of the eating disorder residential treatment centers are months long. And we are discovering that a number of the mental health providers are so caught up in their own issues that the care they try to give can be dubious at best. And, it's not going to improve any time soon. Yes, some additional funding to the NIMH was provided in the Covid bills, but not nearly enough. And most of the national mental health organizations dropped the ball or did not have legislative ties such that funding for their organizations could have been attached as a rider to these bills. But, not to have all gloom and doom ... we are seeing some stories of incredible resiliency from unexpected places and persons.
  6. 43 posts and no reference to Lady Skeletor? What the hell?
  7. Then, your wife would go sleep with Ted Danson.
  8. Aren't there rules on this website about pics, etc? Flippin' damned mouthpieces think they are above the rules!!!!!
  9. So, I have a good friend who is the official photographer for the Dallas Opera. Madam Butterfly is playing. Because of her affiliation, she gets us into the "hoi polloi" area during intermission. Am standing there talking with her and a few other people when someone asks me what I thought of it so far. My response, "The sets are incredibly parochial. Far too basic. It looks like something a high school production would come up with." My friend's face turns white and she says, "uh.. Steven , this is Keith Cerny the General Director of the Opera." I look at him ... he looks at me, and I say, "eh, well, at least the voices are pretty good."
  10. If you love somebody enough ...
  11. The oneupmanship thread is ............>
  12. Ok, just opened yesterday. Tian Tian. It's at the corner of Preston and Frankford Road in Far North Dallas. The chef is from China where he was trained. Ovens made in China. This appears to not be, "Asian Food for Round Eyes." We had the Peking Duck, sliced to perfection, the "pancakes" are almost diaphanous they were so thin. The Xiao Long Bao with Black Truffle steamed dumplings were exceptional. And for something different, Black Fungus with Wasabi (texture very interesting and just enough heat). Since it was opening night, there were organizational issues. But, gents, this place could be legit.
  13. So Nebraska is now comparing itself to SMU and Rice. Got it. Truer words were never spoken. You can pretty much lock this down now.
  14. The Williams ... huh... That's actually pretty slick. It will look pretty good fighting with Hass for dominance of last place in every race this year.
  15. Well ... uh... ok... Nothing like draping yourself in the Russian National Flag I suppose.
  16. Of the 10 out of 11 punts "inside" the 20 .... ZERO between 20 and 15 yard lines; TWO between 15 and 10 yard lines; FOUR between 10 and 5 yard lines, and; FOUR BETWEEN 5 yard line and Goal line.
  17. Well, I have submitted my application to dispose of all evidence (after the trial of course) at my own expense. Saving lives ... one snort at a time.
  18. The Alpha Tauri look last year was classic, simple, elegant. This year ... yawn. I'm sure only to be outdone by the presumed craptacular livery that HAAS will again throw down.
  19. This is Randolph Duke catnip here. I wonder if he has already contacted aggy administration and advised them the aggy logo was being used without a license agreement.
