When a parent has a beloved child taken from them, the grief, the immediate shock, the emotional pain that manifests itself in physical pain is incomprehensible. 5 years ago, my then 23 year daughter was taken. At least for me, it was not all that unexpected. I could prepare a bit. But, when the tragedy is sudden ... and unexpected, you experience something different. Now granted, a person's grief is as unique as our fingerprints. It manifests itself in different ways. For some, that grief destroys them. For others, it defines them in a negative way the rest of their lives. 20 years after the fact, they talk of the event as if it had happened the day before. And yet still for others, eventually it fills them with incredible purpose and resolve. For whatever the cause, Sam and Jake's mom had her heart and soul ripped apart. For any parent, our biggest fear is that our child will be taken before us. But to have to live that fear is a daily burden. I truly hope, and sincerely pray, that one day, Jake's mom will be able to embrace the loving reality that her son Jake gave others so much joy, not just because he played football and was a good kid, but by his passing, Jake is teaching us even more about the grace to love our children more fully and openly, to embrace each day with more passion and resolve and to not let fear be our masters but instead to inspire us to greater deeds. It is with a sad heart that I embrace Jake's mom into a club that no parent should ever have to belong. You are not alone.- Aaron Rodgers Disgruntled with Packers and Does Not Want to Return
BRUTHA.... that improves it definitely. But then in nocturnal prurient activities, the glasses go flying off and you are left with a Poor Man's Olivia Munn wannabe.- Aaron Rodgers Disgruntled with Packers and Does Not Want to Return

First, keep in mind that YOU are interviewing them. You are the employer. They will be working for you. (Yes, I know that seems strange since you are paying for their services) THEY need to earn your trust. And, if they don't answer all of the questions you have to your satisfaction, look elsewhere! Here are some websites that could help you with questions: https://medcircle.com/articles/questions-to-ask-a-new-therapist/ https://www.health.harvard.edu/depression/10-questions-to-ask-when-choosing-a-therapist https://www.huffpost.com/entry/questions-therapist-first-session_l_5d165604e4b082e55368cc5f When I started seeing a therapist (really a psychiatrist) last year, I grilled him. One question I asked which helped me was, "I have been practicing law for 37 years. If a run of the mill, small case comes in, I am going to turn it away. There is no challenge there, I will get bored and not do my best work. If you believe you will not be challenged by me, I need to know. You have been doing your work a long time and have probably heard everything. So, I need to know what about our relationship you believe will challenge you." As for finding a therapist, there a number of websites. You can start with this one though: https://www.findatherapist.com/search/ goodtherapy.org is also an ok place to start looking.- Depression, OCD, and whatever else ails you between the ears
Many in the mental health field are calling mental health issues the next pandemic which has already arrived. Waiting lists for many of the eating disorder residential treatment centers are months long. And we are discovering that a number of the mental health providers are so caught up in their own issues that the care they try to give can be dubious at best. And, it's not going to improve any time soon. Yes, some additional funding to the NIMH was provided in the Covid bills, but not nearly enough. And most of the national mental health organizations dropped the ball or did not have legislative ties such that funding for their organizations could have been attached as a rider to these bills. But, not to have all gloom and doom ... we are seeing some stories of incredible resiliency from unexpected places and persons.- Kim Mulkey to LSU

So, I have a good friend who is the official photographer for the Dallas Opera. Madam Butterfly is playing. Because of her affiliation, she gets us into the "hoi polloi" area during intermission. Am standing there talking with her and a few other people when someone asks me what I thought of it so far. My response, "The sets are incredibly parochial. Far too basic. It looks like something a high school production would come up with." My friend's face turns white and she says, "uh.. Steven , this is Keith Cerny the General Director of the Opera." I look at him ... he looks at me, and I say, "eh, well, at least the voices are pretty good."- Fire Shaka Smart

The oneupmanship thread is ............>- Dallas | Chinese
Ok, just opened yesterday. Tian Tian. It's at the corner of Preston and Frankford Road in Far North Dallas. The chef is from China where he was trained. Ovens made in China. This appears to not be, "Asian Food for Round Eyes." We had the Peking Duck, sliced to perfection, the "pancakes" are almost diaphanous they were so thin. The Xiao Long Bao with Black Truffle steamed dumplings were exceptional. And for something different, Black Fungus with Wasabi (texture very interesting and just enough heat). Since it was opening night, there were organizational issues. But, gents, this place could be legit.- Tell me about Nebraska
