It was a grueling survey, but I got it done in hopes that it will help lead to better understanding and treatment. You go, @KGDPsych :-)

Thanks, Scout. Yeah, that part worries me a lot.

Our cat Robert likes to go under the top coverlet on our bed when the weather gets cold and sleep in there. So, when we go in there, there's often a lump on our bed and we know it's Robert.

I agree. I love Senator King. This is nothing but cravenness.

Sorry, Scout, I'm not following. Can you specify which article you're referring to on the link you posted? Some of these blogs don't seem to have good pinpointing :-).

Yeah, I think tax bills are too kind of abstract for a lot to grasp. I'm certainly no economist, but I get the bottom line. Anyway, I just emailed Amy to remind her of the book recently published that contains articles by 27 psychiatrists and mental health professionals about Trump's...

I don't know if any Reps or Sens will be home before the final vote. The ones that hold town halls are susceptible to protests. Otherwise, there's going to their local offices to protest. I'm way out on the prairie in the middle of nowhere and don't have a reliable car to get to where...

Yes, the trickle-down theory has been thoroughly debunked over the decades. Any extra goes to everything except workers. This is simply a transfer of wealth and damn the rest of us. And, you're right, companies are already doing well, and if they're not paying more now, they won't ever.

I'm getting personally scared about this tax reform bill. In its current form in the Senate, it does away with COLA for SS beneficiaries, of which I am one, for disability. I can live without COLA increases, but what if they try to decrease our monthly benefits? And I've heard nobody talk...

Eeks. At least we haven't lost power. Damn.

"Wild Is the Wind" Like 40 mph.

Gah, another Franken accuser. Well, it's not surprising. I wasn't exactly holding my breath. I just read earlier that he had written sexual assault legislation, which Amy Klobuchar is now taking over. Which is as it should be. But, damn, Al, how could you??? You -- who created the sweet...

I know I would, if I knew who he was.

Yes, I do think they think they are being complimentary. But, cripes, they are so not. You're on the street, defenseless and some guy's yelling at you? I shudder just remembering that. It doesn't happen here in our small town. I think even if any guy dared to do it here, the woman would know...

OMG, yes! Anytime I go home, especially after dark, I do a search of the house with keys between my fingers. I also sleep with a sharp long-handled yard tool next to me. And, yeah, I don't think my husband understands, but he doesn't say anything. And, whenever I'm out in public, I want my...

Sorry, I didn't mean to imply that the look was anything more than a look, and I probably shouldn't have even mentioned it.

@Chiqui - You are a lovely painter!

Chemist or physicist. But after always getting straight As in math, I couldn't pass calculus to save my life, and I had a bunch of tutors.

I did read the CBS News article and am heartened to hear how his female staffers felt while working for him. Thanks.

Thanks, Scout. Throughout this political nightmare, the one thing I thought we had was two good senators. When it seemed like one of them had gone down, I literally could not keep any food down. The more days that go by without any more accusers are good ones. As I've said, I met him once and...

Okay, I believe Jane and Victoria. Franken Case Sets Off Debate Over Line Between Abuse and a Mistake

Oh, wow, I just clicked on it and it said the page has been removed. I'll check ABC.

Yes, my husband referred me to a NYT article which said the same, but I haven't found it yet.

I read it in one of the, if not the, earliest news stories about this case, must have been on the CNN website, because that's where I always go for headlines when I'm not looking at TV. I am just hopeful that the more time that goes by and more women don't appear, then maybe this was an...

Very interesting reflections, @Neverthesame. I get what you're saying. It does look like he's trying to be funny. No one would mug for the camera like that if they were really trying to cop a feel. I do think it was really just tasteless. What bothers me more is that she says he was mean and...
