most therapists have to be licensed ... must be some governmental agency doing the regulating

1:10 am

jillibus

no sprite -- I just went to the archive for yesterday but don't bother -- this is what I posted and thought would interest you:
How's this for getting things in perspective? I'm privileged to have an 86-year-old WW2 heroine as a friend. She is Dutch - one of those people who secretly helped pilots get back to England. Her late husband pretended to be an SS officer but was eventually caught and put in a concentration camp, but survived. She is also an artist, photographer, brilliant duplicate bridge player and teacher, and avid reader of important books. She suddenly went blind two days ago and can only distinguish light from dark. When I spoke to her on the phone today she said "Oh, it's just another challenge." And if I know this wonderful lady, she will meet it and defeat it.

1:20 am

jillibus

I'm exhausted, physically and emotionally, and this grid is just too big for me so I think I'll take a break.

1:20 am

sprite

my grandparents gave shelter to a very wellknown resistance worker in WWII. It was always inspiring to me to hear them about those times and the choices they made.

1:21 am

jillibus

But before I go I want to know how things went with
your confrontation, sprite.

1:22 am

sprite

*hugs jilli*
It went okay. I was able to keep strong and not let him talk me under the table, which is good.

1:23 am

jillibus

Oh good for you. Did you get to talk to the other authorities?

1:24 am

sprite

I had to realise he is just a mediocre therapist, and I will continue to visit him for as long it is necessary for my employer... and reset my expectations towards him

1:24 am

sprite

and he makes for good training material in how to handle people that cannot really be reasoned with

1:25 am

jillibus

wow sprite -- looks as if you gained some benefit from all this!

1:25 am

sprite

so I have decided to make the best of it, and not yet make waves at work with changing therapists... it is crazy enough as it is right now

1:26 am

jillibus

You ARE strong, sprite!

1:26 am

sprite

yes, I think I did, jilli, at least inside... I feel like I took control, I feel stronger

Bye, Liz

4:48 am

and then I had trouble with Si6-7 combo x 2, meaning strong, hot, sand-laden wind(s) of the Sahara and Arabian deserts. In 2 spellings, differing in the last letter. 2nd combo looks like Si*** says, but double the last vowel.

4:48 am

GroovyKiwi

Start with the animal that digs underground and ruins your grass. Double first vowel. Add the question vowel to the end and pluralise.

4:52 am

FranMag

6:21 am

6:22 am

LoriP

32 re's. Gag me. I'm doing those now, rather than later when my brain will be like a Jello sculpture

6:22 am

carleekat

so that babble isn't overloaded with bad tries

6:22 am

LoriP

Nahh, everything I've done on the net this morn has been like dial-up. I think they're doing an upgrade, which is slowing things down. :(

6:23 am

Frances

I can't use beta on a big grid as it takes about two minutes to add each word!

6:23 am

LoriP

Last time I used beta on a grid this big I had it freeze and had to retsart. I expect that again this time.

6:53 am

carleekat

oops..just found it..is another me...hold ne..diving

6:54 am

carleekat

6:54 am

EspritdJean

1:05 pm

carleekat

sometimes they can be wonderful people, but not when it comes to their son's mates

my hubby was "not planned, not wanted, etc. etc. and he turned out the best of the lot

1:06 pm

carleekat

so.she just announced to me.. that it is time I take on a full time job besides the part time one..so we can get totally out of debt ( so..for next 4-5 year s) as my kids are good kids..they can take caref of themselves now

1:07 pm

flosey

emusing, be7 sounds like deer meat

1:07 pm

carleekat

now... go ahead.. ASK me how old my kids are?

1:07 pm

emusing

thank you, flossy!

1:07 pm

flosey

carlee, you just do what you see best for yourself

1:07 pm

anawaltgal

how old

1:07 pm

hurshy

i'm irked by people today too carlee *sympathetic hug*

1:08 pm

carleekat

my husband works 80+ hours a week cus he a workaholic..and she think I should be working at least 60... and my kids JUST turned 15 adn 11

1:09 pm

carleekat

so...while girls in grade 7 and 8 are busy being unsupervised... ( 12 and 13 yrs) are comin to school drunnk... and the girls are busy giving blowjobs behind the portables... I am to just say... GO... raise urselves?

1:09 pm

flosey

don't let her do it to you, if hubby is working 80 hours then you need to be there for the kids as well as hubby

1:09 pm

NonoNanette

carlee they are not old enough to be on their own and you have managed this long with only part time job tell mil to buzz off

1:10 pm

carleekat

and whats worse..HE AGREES WITH HER

1:10 pm

flosey

NO WAY!

1:10 pm

carleekat

yeap

1:10 pm

Judi

I don't suppose MIL volunteered to supervise the teen girls while mom is working? Tell her to sod off, Carlee.

1:11 pm

flosey

does he care what his kids are doing when unsupervised

1:11 pm

carleekat

oh no..she alread has one grand daughter who is 17..tatooed and living with her 22 year old boyfriend whom she holds up as the perfect example of how my kids can grow up and be perfect

1:11 pm

flosey

perhaps you don't want her helping out either

1:12 pm

carleekat

she is still in high school... a CATHOLIC highschool

1:12 pm

Judi

Wow. She sounds like a twisted sister, Carlee. Sounds like hubby needs to be re-programed as well. Time to lay down the law.

1:13 pm

carleekat

that just it..the whole freaking family like this... and they are the one telling me I am wrong...

1:13 pm

flosey

stand strong Carlee, you know what's best for your kids - and you also have to look after yourself

1:13 pm

Judi

So grateful that my MIL does not interfer in our lives. She's just a sweet old lady that barely says boo to anyone.

1:13 pm

carleekat

crap I am tired of being "wrong"

1:14 pm

flosey

you're not wrong carlee, don't let anyone give you these guilt trips

1:14 pm

Aloyisius

i totally agree with flosey, carlee.. what you do for your kids is most important, and perhaps there is another way to help the budget..

1:14 pm

Judi

As long as your finances are manageable, Carlee, there's no need for both of you to be absentee parents. Tell MIL you'll think about getting a full time job when the first one goes off to college. That might hold her off for a while.

1:14 pm

carleekat

well I suppose I could prostitue myself...after hours...

1:15 pm

flosey

so what if it takes a few more years to pay off a mortgage - your kids benefit by having you around and that's far more important

1:15 pm

hurshy

i hear that pays well

1:15 pm

carleekat

so have I hurshy

1:15 pm

flosey

at least you haven't lost your sense of humour

1:15 pm

Judi

Or, you could prostitute the children! Doesn't sound like MIL would mind.

1:15 pm

carleekat

its either that or smash up my house

Pam--our "superhero" was dutifully honored. Lunch, cake, etc. No one else gets that much.

6:44 pm

periwinkle

I have a question- what if I show up for an appointment to give Reiki to an animal and it is not interested. Do I charge for showing up and if so how much?

6:44 pm

girlygirl

HEY EVERYONE

6:44 pm

Jacula

Hi, Scrabbs.

6:44 pm

stidmama

yes, I think you should charge peri, at least set part of your price as a "showing up" fee...

6:44 pm

doxy1lover

I think I would charge half price peri.

6:44 pm

Scrabbler

Peri--congrats on the job!

6:44 pm

carleekat

peri...u should have a standard "travel expense" like a repair man....

6:44 pm

stidmama

I know that veterinarians do things like that, and many people docs as wel

6:45 pm

carleekat

and then... after that a second charge

6:45 pm

periwinkle

thanks Scrabs

6:45 pm

carleekat

( even if 10 or 15.00

6:45 pm

mrpresident

yes you charge peri. whatever your rate is, you should charge it as a show up fee

6:45 pm

periwinkle

doxy, that is what I was thinking

6:45 pm

stidmama

{{{mrp}}} how are you?

6:45 pm

pam

hi, mrp!

6:45 pm

stidmama

6:46 pm

girlygirl

Hey brb

6:47 pm

Jacula

fe7 = fe + upright consonant + building *** (area where builders work).

6:47 pm

Scrabbler

6:47 pm

pam

how did it go, MRP??????

6:47 pm

stidmama

and *waiting on tenter hooks*

6:47 pm

periwinkle

carly, I plan to charge $40 for a session that will be 30 -45 minutes depending on the animal. if they are not interested I was planning to charge $20, does that sound right

6:47 pm

Jacula

girly - unless you're at art college doing paste-up pictures, the word is 'college'.

6:47 pm

stidmama

reiki is energy work doxy, it is I think a japanese version of chinese "chi" work

6:47 pm

doxy1lover

thank you for the explanation

6:48 pm

mrpresident

peri, say your fee is $50... you should have a show up fee of 20% at least... and put that in your fee schedule... initial showup fee $10... if your animal accepts treatment... a fee of $40 is payable after that

6:48 pm

carleekat

ounds fair peri...but show it as service call charge

6:48 pm

mrpresident

I am not suggesting your pricing there btw :)

7:08 pm

Jacula

Min - It's meant to be supernatural. Mind you, it's 1.06am in UK, so that's now yesterday's theme.

7:08 pm

meliae

hurshy

no, she is not. in fact we have a shocking dearth of people from tennessee. think they are all at dollywood.

7:09 pm

Scrabbler

You better, Stid---Peri has these energy abilities now. If she can send long-distance energy with reiki, she can suck it out of us too.

7:09 pm

stidmama

I have 20% of the words!

7:10 pm

meliae

RI 6/21 please

7:10 pm

BGL
