The therapist, really. Kind of came out of nowhere. I am terrified of getting on meds, and my wife (a doctor) is also against them.

That's the crux of it right there. I've had a wonderful, wonderful life, a rewarding career, a 30 year marriage and raised intelligent, well-grounded kids. Not just by _my_ definition, but by those around me whom I respect.

Thank you. I'm reading both now. Funny how his blog is about 'living your best life', the exact reason I went to therapy to begin with. I don't have trouble listening, but the opposite. I empathize so strongly when peopl

Thank you! I do agree that, researching, I see that there are things that have been nagging me for years, but not enough to really need a fix. I work in technical and creative capacities, so I don't to dull an edge with medication.

One of my all-time favorite games, thanks! Brings back the days of kids hanging around Brother's Pizza and playing Joust on the consoles.

For what it's worth, I haven't watched TV since the 80's and people assume that I am militant or insane.

When I travel, I often put all my documents and PDFs on a Kobo. Easy to read, great battery life, barcodes display even when sleeping.

Email totally sucks. I ran BSD servers for an enterprise web app, but Postfix/SASL/Cyrus brings me to my knees when I need to build it. Most hosting providers with a $3/mo CPanel option gives you an out-of-the-box, highly con

Your post rang true. I just lost my mom last week and the hospital experience was a very similar situation. The doctor was particularly upset because I was a healthcare proxy (that was the first thing he asked when bursting into the room) a

My mother died, we bury her on Tuesday (2 days from now). Her last few years were difficult, so we put her in assisted care; wonderful place with lots of social activities and a great restaurant. Well, Covid meant lockdowns and isolation, n

The Archive is great! NValt is also wonderful. I use Archive for a true Zettelkasten and nValt for meeting notes.

If you really want a mindblowing take on notes, try Eastgate Tinderbox. http://www.eastgate.com/Tinderbox/ Sadly, they really don't do a good job explaining the program, but it hearkens back to the early days of h

Maybe it's me, but I was quite happy with my VAMS experience. CDC notified me by email that I was eligible. My data was pre-populated. Signed up for an appointment quickly and got messages reminding me of appointment. Considering that

We went into a seafood restaurant before Christmas and I thought they were closed and cleaning the floors, the scent was so strong. We waited at a bus station with a restaurant serving the dish, and the scent stayed on our jackets for weeks

I had no problems parsing the title, storm in a teacup that takes away from the talent and dedication of the poster. Perhaps others could try writing it in their second language of choice?

How is this possible? I saw a painting owned by a former client. I was there when their collection was photographed and licensed to the Bettmann Archives, and you can be sure that they did NOT release the images.
