They're setting them

and are the unruliest.

Nothing better than a bunch of drunk firemen setting off fireworks, and then not noticing the neighbor's lawn catching on fire.

Oh, but wait, there's more!

Remember, the other neighbor has a synchronized party!

They might be a bit young for Bionerd, but maybe she wants to play with a boytoy for a while.

IIRC...

2 years ago there was a synchronized party.

Last year the other party was moved to Sunday. So as not to have competition. :-)

Not too crazy about those in the helping professions

I have a confession to make- not only do I do the biology thing, I'm also a practicing psychotherapist. I do both part time. I do some work for the university and also work for an EAP company doing telephonic counseling and mass casualty disaster response- mostly plane crashes. People who work in the helping professions are full of neuroses- I dont want to date one. I am one.

Reminds me of a theory of my uncle's

He said that people take psychology courses because they want to understand their problems. Most people figure themselves out after a course or 2 and do something else. Some people's problems are more complex so they take more courses. And then when they've figured themselves out they say, "What do I do for a degree? Well I have all of these psychology courses..."

This uncle had a PhD in psychology and was a prime example of his own theory.

No, the charitable ones . .

Post #202,009

More than a conduit

Although what you say is partly true, I add more value to that charity than it could do on its own, since I'm *not* being paid what I'm worth. In addition, the organization adds value through its economies of scale (and 40 other people on staff whose contributed value is more than what they're paid).

Not immposible, but IT might be a good choice because if it doesnt down the server we probably dont care, which would annoy you except after being chewed on, the guy might just ruffle your bum and say "does that make you feel better?"

...and yes, if that's what characterlogical means, I guess I'd have to say we have a lot of that around here.

OTOH, I do have to wonder about the normative value of the word "maladaptive". I'm not sure that it applies universally to "patterns of inner experience and behaviour that deviate from the [norms of one's cultural milieux]". Sometimes that's actually really healthy.
