Met my new Psychiatrist, he didn't know what the golly psychiatric probation was either.

That could be a good sign. Perhaps he's more interested in the patient than the politics.

Shouting at my kids for not trying enough - or at all come to think of it.

I have learned that spoiling children is more damaging to them in the long term than oppressing them.

That reminds me of a joke. 
Q:  How many psychiatrists does it take to change a lightbulb?
A:  Only one, but the lightbulb really has to want to change.

These 2 posts made me think of what my sister and I (kind of an inner joke) say when we talk about our children upbringing:

There are 2 XTs.  That's just not fair on the rest of womankind.

It has to be done right though: oppression can spoil too. (qv. Margaret Thatcher)

I'm at the complicated stage of parenting: whereby they relish punishments and complain about rewards. 

Why is that every generation thinks it invented reverse psychology?

I thank the compliment but I'm not sure about that. 

Anyway we're very different. I'm more type B and she's more type A. Of course she would strongly disagree and jump my throat. She would do that while making some phone calls, shouting at suppliers and going to the gym.

She'd fit right in around here. That describes 99% of my client list.

I prefer to go to the pub and watch the joggers from afar.

Have just found out that my son had an exam yesterday and as normal were given past papers to look through and revise from.
The professor then found out they had been given the actual exam they were to sit, to revise from 
Needless to say chaos followed and a new exam was issued for the students to sit.
Apparently a second year student found it online and printed it off, nothing malicious it was just an mistake.
What is the education system coming to

I have to sit a 3 hour exam tomorrow, online.  Can't stop once I start.  It's canned, on a website linked to the textbook.  Lazy professor.  The software provides questions and marks the test for her. 

I doubt I'll take a second class from her.

I'm grilling a hamburger on my new George Foreman grill.

My back went out again today (slipped disc sort of thing) so I'm hobbling around from room to room.  It's only the 3rd time it's happened in 6 years, but when it does, damn does it hurt!!!

[brickbatz]

Ouch!

Sorry to hear about your back, smokes.  I hear it's simply awful, as you can't really move without using it.  My stepmother used to suffer from this occasionally and it pretty much put her out of commission when it happened.

I want to break something over this tablet and typing an hour two paragraphs twice, and somehow screwing it up once by copy paste, and then I was logged out for inactivity the second round...oh and I just spilled my coffee. So in short,
Guten Morgen Six, it is well to see you Lady.
I'm so sorry smoke, I have had back issues with having children and weight gain, so I wanted to implore you that I lost 40 lbs and greatly improved my circulation and bones by rehabilitive stretching, at home and carefully.  I studied myself up on stretch and yoga techniques for beginners and just started with what I was able for.
Also, get ya a physician that has a masters in rehabilitive chiropractics. As apposed to a general chiropractor. 
Pray you can graduate to yoga and feel sustainable, either way, I'll be around to share your pain.. .. I just miss using my PC for typing.
Oh and I have been reading ancient history this morning, wondering about questions that are not asked, or obvious

Ha Ha. Welcome to tablet hell.

If I replaced my desk I could set up the awesome giant machine. But I am lazy from the bloodletting and leeches.

I've had the whole kit and caboodle on my back only to have a consultant that couldn't have been more that 12, tell me to lose some weight and do some pilates.

It's an occupational hazard and I originally buggered it when I was 16 and a labourer.  From then it's just been all downhill.
