For people who have eating disorders, substance abuse disorders, mental illness, etc a big part of doing expressive and recreation therapy is to replace past behaviors with new ones. It’s giving them a hobby they can take home and giving them some positive experiences when they’ve only experienced negative ones…

I acted and danced as a amateur and student for years, and I *loved* it and miss it dearly. Ever heard of the concept of flow? Being able to lose yourself completely in something? That is exactly what I experienced when I performed.

So I go to sleep around 1 a.m. (I work until midnight). And then I’m usually woken up around 6 a.m-ish by the occupants of my household making noise (whom either go to school or work at a school). A couple days a week I get up at 6:50 to drive one of the brats to some before school bullshit (why are music and sports…

See, I look at this and think that the person is a shape shifter and just turned into a dog.

I’ve done the puppy thing and the kid thing. Honestly, the biggest difference is you can lock the puppy in a cage and go to work for 8 hours. Which, surprisingly, is a pretty big difference.

I’ve had more dreams about giving birth to cats, dogs, and dragons than I’ve had dreams about giving birth to humans.

I could see this targeting people who didn’t cheat, and have dementia or whatever and are just confused.

And see, once a person PAYS you you then know they’re probably a cheater, so you can then get MORE money from them via blackmail. This is how con artists work- you always find the gullible saps and just real ‘em in.

I was totally a criminal mastermind in another life.

What’s worse is that some insurance policies are now starting to make you choose a “network”. If you choose a network and it happens to be catholic? You can’t even get the BC pill.

I am literally driving to a town 45 minutes away (I live in the third or fourth largest city in my state) to seek medical care because I…

Yep, I see this and I think “stroke survivor with a side of racist”.

I don’t want to say that having a brain injury prevents someone from serving in elected office. But perhaps having a brain injury that unveils racist predilections does.

A lot of people can only see the dress one way. I primarily see it as blue and black, but occasionally it’ll switch. When it first came up I was scrolling through an article about it, scrolled down and saw gold and white, scrolled back up and saw black and blue, and seriously thought someone was fucking with me LOL.

Yeah, I wouldn’t say this is an optical illusion in the traditional sense. I saw the shiny legs when I was scrolling and not really looking at it. Actually, it looked more like a hyper realistic painting of shiny legs. Anyway, after I looked at it it’s hard to go back to seeing the shiny legs unless I’m holding my…

A “therapist” who instructs a patient to “fast and pray” should be kicked off the fucking planet.

I feel so bad for this woman.

I saw both dresses and saw both legs and TBH, it’s really not as fascinating as everyone makes it out to be.

If you want to see the shiny legs use a small screen and hold it away from you. The smaller, more pixilated the image, the better your chance of seeing it.

I had a trans-esophageal echo cardiogram. I totally remember being half conscious and gagging because there’s a probe down my throat and then the nurses holding me down as the doctor pulls it out because I’m about to yank it out myself.

I don’t get the outrage. Seriously, I’m alive because of medication. Every day of take meds that help me stay alive and function. Every day at work I pass pills and other meds that help my clients stay alive and function.

Basically Clinton folks are sitting on stuff that they’ll continue to “find” until election day. If this had been released at convention time it’d be buried and gone, but now with a month to go it’s time to remind people he’s an ass.

Dude, they already have a pokemon that is a D cup and nothing imploded yet. I think everything will be alright.

It’s under her free educational section, as long as they are attributing it (the attribution is included in the print out), they’re fine :)

Good luck on your interview!

I loved living in Chicago.
