Isn't that what all these push up bras do as well? Even women think they should point north.
“I believe you when you say that you believe that you are hearing rats.”
And I believe that you are a total a$$hole.
The DSM 111 (1980) was indeed a turning point as psychiatry modelled itself on "hard science" to enhance their credibility as a " soft science". The biomedical model is promulgated by Big Pharma and everyone prospers except patients.
Excellent article. I have had many a rewarding conversation with psychotics. There is always a logic for those who listen.
A very unpleasant sounding beast indeed. Considering the kinship of reptiles and birds such an apparent mix doesn't surprise me, nor the superstition. What vestigial mutant could it have been? Pliny was not a renowned expert on nature was he?
I'm just a little old lady who has found this place is still alive.
Happiness is...
Merry merry and happy happy to those I have not heard from in so long.
I may be back PDQ.
I can only comment from decades of observation and personal experience, but yes, basically we are very much smarter.
Men are so absorbed in being, well, men.
The 'kits' are a more modest cushion with the benefit of more craftmanship in the stitching. I've seen embroidery from old time inmates where they work with a single strand of thread. It's incredible.
GranMa, Through my career and location in 'pen town', I've met and known so many murderers that it barely fizzes - other than curiousity about how/why it went down. Most murders are less evil than portrayed and some I even sympathized with in an atavistic manner. I always enjoyed the interactions with a woman from a small town who topped off her abusive boyfriend. He was the terror of the town and the police were actually cheering at her act. She was totally traumatised and continued to talk about him in the present tense. I don't think she could let herself admit what she did.
It must be that I'm lacking some passion as two sets of marital trappings hung around in a collection of old jewellery including the first gold ring ever from a boyfriend. Finally I desgned a ring modelled sorta on a silver ring Mr. dx had given me and had a new ring made from all the old gold. I did pay extra for a special firing so the metal remained pure, as in only mine. I dedicated it as my "life ring" and is the only one I wear. My daughter has instructions that it does not go with me. I don't agree with the waste and she appreciates the life that went into this ring.
Good link, thanks for the giggles.
That logo is so reminescent of a neon beer store and so perfect for the site - which I saved for Mr. dx. I know he'll love the videos. Watching videos is about as computer literate as I've managed to drag him.
I'm stunned. Memory Eternal, Squid.
