I agree. I forgot to ask how they carried the heads back to the garage for pictures. The cottonmouth's mouth was wide open and white with fangs showing. I could instantly ID both snakes.

So my 9 year old son was visiting my TBM ex-wife and her family over the Easter weekend. The night before Easter, they had a huge get-together at family member's house who lives in a swampy area. When we picked him up, he was all excited to tell us that he had participated in killing a cottonmouth and copperhead. My ex-wife was all excited and showed us pictures of the snakes. I had an un

It blows my mind that at no point did this woman stop and think "maybe this isn't ok. Maybe people wouldn't want to ingest my bodily fluids." Or if she did have those thoughts, she pushed through them and decided to do it anyway, which makes her sociopathic. Either way, it's frightening.

One lady who my ex-wife knows in her old ward made home-made icecream using some frozen breastmilk she had at one "linger longer". I never ate any icecream at ward functions.

I heard a TBM get very uncomfortable about this yesterday. She was trying to find transcripts because she couldn't believe that TSCC's lawyers were arguing that it was all belief and not fact, and other TBMs were telling her that the summary that spread like wildfire from cityworker was biased because he is an exmo. The belief vs fact thing is big. So is the tithing as an option.

We are therapists, and licensed under similar rules as nurses, pharmacists and doctors. If we are impaired we are considered a danger to the public. A few things have changed in my state though because when I self-reported 4 years ago, they said "that's common. Don't worry about it." That was it.

I was actually forced to self-report while hospitalized. It was a requirement that I had to do prior to discharge, and also the only way the psychiatrist would sign a clearance order for me to return to work, which my employer required. And they would have reported me if I didn't self-report.

I'm a social worker and I'm really good at my job. I was also a pretty high functioning alcoholic for awhile, and bipolar. I self-reported to my state licensing board because I had an episode that led to a one week hospitalization. It was my fourth hospitalization, but it was quite different. It changed my entire perspective on life and my priorities came into focus. I finally wanted to

I love how FARMS quoted Shakespeare. A author who wrote fiction gives strength to their claims? Sheesh. How can anyone take them seriously. I honestly think they push more people over the fence who are questioning than anything else does.

I haven't posted on here in a while, but I thought now would be a good time. Some of you know that I've struggled with bipolar disorder most of my life. I've lived bouncing around between extremes and everything was always with intensity. My thoughts have always been racing and I rarely found peace. I've also struggled with alcohol. Well, a few weeks ago I was hospitalized again but an a

She and I have worked directly together for the past 5 months. When we are alone for the last hour of the day, she asks quite a bit about me. She thinks I'm one of the best social workers she has ever worked with, and she figured out that I have bipolar d/o, and we've talked about my PTSD. I opened up to her yesterday about my drinking issues and she has been beyond supportive. She understa
