Excellent, heart-rending work, ~Me.

Kate, I, too have worked with clients young and old, severely handicapped and high-functioning. Most people look at these folks like they are pariahs. There are worse so-called "normal" people out there. While I worked in the field, I loved and lost some that were like family. Others terrified me, and threatened my life (those were few and far between) . Regardless, although we were told never to get close to any of these people, how could you not? Most were the best of friends. So, very best wishes on your book. Let me know when you publish--I want an autographed copy! Thanks for the use of your soapbox, Lynn, darling. =)

"But stay! these walls--these ivy-clad arcades--
These mouldering plinths--these sad and blackened shafts--these vague entablatures--this crumbling frieze--these shattered cornices--this wreck--this ruin--these stones--alas! these gray stones--are they all--all of the famed, and the colossal left. By the corrosive Hours to Fate and me?"

Too bad Red Bull tastes like crap, because it does work, doesn't it? I used to drink it when I worked early mornings, but I gave it up.

Grifs, reading anything dark and foreboding is acceptable. Actually, as long as you read the comments on this site alone, that should be more than enough! 'coz some of these comments are scarier than some of Poe's stuff! =)

It is a natural high, but not the healthiest (nervous anxiety). Just watch your blood pressure, Grifspop. My nephew's BP went through the roof. But he was drinking that and gatorade, as well.

No,
Grifspop. It's a natural high! =)

I know a lot of people who are insane AND nice!
So, the answer is a resounding "yes"!

ah, thanks, Grifspop.

Hola!

aloha!

derekpaul---I love it! "Go commando!" That's superb! Commando Iron FIst Motts. Another nickname for Motts!

Here's your Tylenol, darlin'.

Aside from the gastric discomfort I spoke of earlier, if it's as light and fluffy as it claims to be, and it's absolutely not of this earth, maybe...

Wow! Motts is awfully possessive of his hospital bed, isn't he? Ed, I am not a junkie!!! I prefer the milder term of "Freaking Obsessed". Junkies are completely hooked. I can break away anytime I want to......and I've got a woolly mammoth in a corral in my backyard I want to sell....
