I would wager your objections to therapy are 100% religious (albeit not having anything to do with Christianity), which is why you have concocted these obviously flawed rationalizations.

I used therapist in the general sense, but yeah good point.

Nope - not religious. I have two real experiences with therapy as you describe it. I had to sit in an Al Anon class at Hazelden for a week (family member suffers from alcoholism). I just sat there and heard a bunch of whiners cry and kept quiet. Absolutely hell on earth. The second was a relationship therapist, who pointed out I was a big arogant asshole in my failed prior marriage. While it was 100% true, that's not what I wanted to hear at the time. And in all fairness, my former titty bang wasn't exactly a saint either. I guess that one did kind of help a little after the fact. I'm less of an asshole than I was then. The PC isn't a great representation of how I really act / seem to the outside world.

Can't sleep.

Ditto. Eat some cookies.

You haven't finished them all yet??

I ate at least half.

Damn heh. Nah those are all you. No more cookies.

So you're a bigger douchebag on the internet than in real life. I'm fairly certain this is the case 99.99998% of the time.

Edited with a frown: I need to study but I haven't really slept very much in the last three days. Math stops making sense when I get tired or hungry. Feels like half of this week is wasted.

I was looking at the pictures from the day we brought Dolly home (our horse) to just a few days ago. I'm soo happy she's finally looking fit and gaining weight. She's such a sweet girl.

I got a nose full of pond water after rolling the kayak a few weeks back, I've had a minor sinus/ear infection since. I really want to go swimming today, but not sure it would be wise.

Just go swimming in something chlorinated. Chlorine kills germs, right?
