No. I actually asked for suggestions on the Atlanta forum, and Banning Mills was the most recommended. It was about $240 for him and a buddy, but he loved every second of it.

I'm kind of over looking for gifts to unwrap. My kids like experiences, and they can usually be ordered online. A win-win in my eyes.

Could be Scientologists. (Very anti-psychiatry.) I was wondering about them being on C-D just the other day. Sounds like something they'd do.

I had the same thought, especially since it's happened on two different occasions. I'm pretty good at finding common ground, but I am waaaaayyy out of my element. Would it be wrong to suggest they might benefit from some meds?

They totally weird me out. We lived near their headquarters in L.A. (Fin would know the big blue building) and I avoided them like the plague.

Okay, I know them. My neighbor recently did the Blue Ridge lines, and really enjoyed it. They found a deal on Living Social that was $40 pp, a steal.

First day of work!.

I get two 15 minute breaks and an hour break for lunch.
They are super lax about everything.
I work tomorrow and Thursday from 9am-6pm and next week I am already scheduled for 30 hours.
That's $189 in 3 days...
WHO'S BIG BALLIN NOWWWWW
*struts around*
*does the awesome dance*

And on a less cockier note...how is everyone today?
Scientology creeps me out too. In fact most religion scares me, not trying to offend anyone but it does, I grew up in the bible belt, I'm scarred for life.

I used to think the OP was joking, but not so much any more. Too much of the same, and some really bizarre stuff too.

Yes, there are indeed a few that really and truly hate anything to do with the field of mental health. This may be a bit cynical, but I have often wondered if they had received diagnoses/suggestions themselves that did not sit well. Mind you, as is regularly seen in P&OC, paranoia is alive and well!

I don't know how people can go through life THAT paranoid. It is amazing the theories they come up with.

txt, glad work went well. I assume you found a blue shirt.
