Targeted excellence

Hey dude. That whole experience with the psychiatrist sounds wrong. Of course you have history. And that in no way qualifies or disqualifies you from getting a diagnosis. In saying that, I agree with db0 in that a diagnosis won't necessarily help. You can absolutely look up strategies and routines, tips ect on how to improve your experiences and try applying the ones you like and see how it goes. Psychiatrists might diagnose you and then want to put you on medication because that is their job and how they get paid. The cognitive behavior change work is usually done with a psychologist, in groups and in your own time. There's some great worksheets available online if you look around.

Really? That is kind of pleasing to hear to be honest. I only ever encountered echochamber comments any of the times I went on any political thread here, one sided anchoring and confirmation bias, so I stopped. I'm kind of happy to hear that there are multiple perspectives being discussed at all. Neat.

Are you a cat or dog person and why?

Cats and dogs all have different personalities. I've known cats that act bouncy and crave attention, who want to be inside, who wants to be outside, those who want both all the time and at the same time. I've also known smelly dirty cats who do not care where they go to the toilet or vomit. And I've known dogs who are like big lazy lions, and also neurotic little demons, some who are fastidious about their hygiene and others who get so excited they can't hold their bladder.

I like both, and I'd have either, but I like a cat or dog who is clean, chill, intelligent and likes adventures as well as napping. Bonus if they don't like other people much. Greyhounds are the fastest couch potatoes out there.

4ish years ago when I bought a house I was convinced not to get a house inspection, would it be crazy to get one now just to make sure it's all good?

My husband said pretty much the same thing. We can only buy a house with VA assistance as well and it is so expensive here around his home town. Hopefully we can move interstate in the future. Around where he was stationed we could get a big old family house in a nice area for $100k less. For however long that lasts.

TGIF, what are your plans for the week-end?

USD $42/Per Lane Per Hour $5.25/Person for Shoes

Sounds about the same as you. The prices were varied to what time you go, we went at about 8pm Saturday so it was more expensive then.

The shoe prices are annoying. We did not get any food or drinks either since it was already expensive. We had a good time though. I did not win ha, bit I did improve my game so there's that.
