here's a good thing...
..about a 106 degree heat index. It makes the broken earth shelter easier to tolerate. I gotta find a way to fix the exhaust fan. Remind me to simplify certain things when I build things in my next incarnation. Either that or purchase the parts from countries that have folk with pride in their product.
Happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me, I get two this year. This one is a bit different as it is the same as my number in last year's voter queue. 666. 55.5 years x 12 months! I think I'll go dig out and de-fungus the old Ouija board tonight and see what's in store for my future!
Are Half of All Americans Mentally Ill?
(note: the linky isn't part of the article! ;o)
Interesting. That's awful close to the percentage of registered voters that went for Kerry (asswipe lawyer) last year! Actually it's a brief but interesting article with linkage at posting time. I just love it that our wunderfl legislators (asswipe lawyers) in this nanny state have mandated insurance companies (collection of asswipe lawyers) including everything from aroma therapy to substance abuse rehab into any policy one acquires. Not gonna have kids? Single? Sterile? Soo sorry, asswipe lawyers have mandated YOU gotta buy that coverage as well. Doesn't help things when folk like (asswipe lawyer) John Edwards "channels" in court with jurors carefully selected to be as dumb and as superstious as a bunch of cannibals to make his many megabucks from supposed baby malpractice. Cannibals eat their own and don't think anything is wrong with it (unless they are the daily special).
I actually DO know a few lawyers that are not pond scum. Two gals and three guys. Well, one of the guys has been dead a bunch of years and in truth, he was "good" in the way an airstrike is good when you're pinned-down in an impossible situation. Couldn't prevent the massive mortar fire that had caused so much damage but left some time and space for the bodies to be evac'd!
While I'm still on nat'l 'drug the peeple' thought, a few years ago I was kinda perturbed with the avalanche of kids on psycho drugs. I had a sit-down with an old friend who'd been a child behavior therapist in the skool system for close to half my present age and asked him the percentage that were being drugged vs the percentage that would profit from drug treatment. At that time approximately 20% of the kids were on Ritalin and in his professional judgement only between 1-2% actually needed it. If a skool teacher or a "harried" parent wanted the little monster zoned out, there were several local "doctors" that would write script without the bother of an evaluation.
I happen to have known one of those "script writing" "doctors" for over a quarter of a century. Since that piece of dung works exclusively for the state these days, he's safe from personal malpractice. Shrink of course. Bragged ceaselessly about his 4,500 active patients. No mention that most of his collection were just his name on the payment sheets of a bunch of prisons and drunk-tanks. Pass out the pills and bill the state for "treatment". Got his alledged certificate in India. Eats cows. Wonder what he calls his "religion"? I rather doubt he's Baptist! BTW, a married couple from his country set up shop as pediatricians. Both were muslim, both are dead. Murder/suicide. ...must be one of those "honor" thingies.
There is proper use of shrinkage and psyc pharmaceuticals , none need mandating by gummit or bureaucratic empire-builders. We hire docs for health reasons. Lawyers are the herpes blisters on society. Shakespeare , Twain, Bierce, and Heinlein amongst others were right. Heinlein expressed it the best way back in 1961. I'll dig it up.

Can this possibly be true?
Nasal spray clears Alzheimer’s brain plaques
There are 400,000 folk in Florida diagnosed with such. If you believe in the human soul and accept it just occupies the body, the thought of having everything reduced to nothing while still alive has got to be a horror story. If you've ever been seriously afflicted with a disease that removed a big chunk of your cognizance and remembered that nightmare, the thought of spending any time at all with everything just in the "here and now" with no chance of connecting the last 5 minutes would be KILL ME PLEASE!

Chad was about one week before his GSD ears did the permanent vertical (yeah, they lay back but you don't wanna see that too often! ;o) and just a couple of months before he got et by a bear. Shit happens.

Are Half of All Americans Mentally Ill?
LOS ANGELES — A new study by Harvard University and the National Institute of Mental Health (search) claims that 46 percent of all Americans will, at some point in their lives, develop a mental disorder. [snip]
