The orchestra has a great ticket plan, too. You can buy a passcard in increments of ten vouchers at $30/each. The only restriction is that you can redeem them no earlier than the monday before a concert. Amazingly, there were seats left under that plan, so we sat in the dress circle for 30 bucks a pice; those are $120 seats!

My favorite conductor at the late Cleveland Opera was Anton Coppola; he's Francis Ford's uncle. He would sing the arias as he rehearsed us in this raspy "godfather" voice. We'd talk about movies and food during rehearsal breaks.
1:15 am
rururocks

I sat next to Francis at a wedding once
1:15 am

You don't say!
1:17 am

I didn't know he was from Cleveland
1:18 am
rururocks

i need one more word to go to bed
1:19 am
melonheadjujube

He isn't. All our conductors at the opera were from out of town, mostly New York, as was Anton. We had him about one production a years through the 90s. I retired from playing professionally around 1998. I hear Coppola just retired, this from a friend who plays in the Tampa Opera orchestra.
1:20 am
rururocks

ah

1:21 am

that a is ae 5 i think
1:21 am
melonheadjujube

It took me a long time after retiring to get into going to concerts. Even now, when I go I acutely miss playing in an orchestra.
1:21 am

I bet
1:22 am

1:22 am

Nope, at4 was 2nd column A.
1:24 am

I dont know what happen to Rose--she just vanished and poor neil has been looking for her for sometime now

Not looking for her, puglet... chatting with her. For a while now. Sorry! Haha.

4:12 am

everyone gone or still in bed?
4:14 am

Rufie has another huge "hot spot" and I am trying to treat it without the vet. He is so afraid of her because she shaves him and medicates him. Last night, besides giving him mdedrol and applying some cortisone lotion, I finally gave him a doggie sedative because he was rather frantic
4:17 am
rubyfoo

He is usually so calm and he kept looking in my eyes as if to say "Help me, Mom"
4:17 am
sprite

poor rufie.
4:18 am
rubyfoo

We don't knoq why he gets them. When I put him on an austere diet, he got one anyway, so I don't think it's food.
4:19 am
puglet

does he dig at them
4:20 am
rubyfoo

yes, it depends where it is. Usually, they're on his haunches, so he bites them. This time, it's on his shoulder, so he scratches it with his hind foot which has very sharp claws
4:20 am
rubyfoo

last night, it was all bloody and Raffie kept trying to lick it
4:20 am
puglet

could nerves or stress bring them on
4:20 am
sprite

ruby, check out this link:
http://tinyurl.com/kvb8ddo
At the bottom of the page is an interesting part about hot spots.
4:21 am
rubyfoo

he's a very calm dog so I don't think so. The breeder I know says that her chows get them, too, so I guess it's just a weakned of some sort
4:21 am
sprite

it may be caused by an insect bite or a flea bite.
4:21 am
puglet

Ruby, could whatever is biting you be biting him too
4:22 am
rubyfoo

I don't think so. I use that flea and tick medicatin on him and have never seen a flea.
4:23 am
rubyfoo

I feel so sorry for him because hes such a sweet and handsome boy
4:23 am
sprite

ruby, check out that link I just gave. It says even one tiny insect bite might bring it on.
4:23 am
puglet

but you havent seen what has been biting you either
4:23 am
rubyfoo

there's not much I can do if that's what it is, I can't keep him out of the garden.
4:24 am
rubyfoo

That's true, pugs, but the bites have stopped since it's cooled down. I'll check sprite's link after lunch.
4:24 am
sprite

and with the heavy coats they have, it is impossible to see a single flea. Which is all he might have, because it takes only one bite... and that one bite kills the flea.
4:24 am
puglet

no you cant but to treat it the best you can
4:24 am
rubyfoo

My friends here all said that this would be a bad year for ticks, but I haven't found one on either dog (that's the first time)
4:25 am
sprite

finding out what triggers it with him is a good start to treating it best as can be.
4:25 am
rubyfoo

the vet suggested sending him to a special clinic that finds dog allergies, but it's far aay
4:25 am
rubyfoo

and VERY expensive
4:26 am
puglet

my Else gets rashes on her tummy from certain weeds, probally Beulah does too but Else has a white tummy so it show better on her
4:27 am
rubyfoo

what does the rash look like?
4:27 am
puglet

why cant your vet do a scraping and send it off or a blood sample
4:27 am
puglet

red spots
4:27 am
sprite

lol... and gone is the peace. Baby neighbour kid crying... poor little thing.
4:28 am
puglet

it must be very loud
4:28 am
rubyfoo

red spots would have to have legs to be visible on these long-haired pups! lol
4:28 am
sprite

it is. Good lungs on that one.
4:29 am
rubyfoo

why do they let him cry?
4:29 am
puglet

I bet! Beulah is black but slicked hair and I cant see them on her
4:29 am
sprite

they don't. He just goes on while they are trying to calm him, lol.
4:30 am
rubyfoo

he needs a Mama Cass hug!
4:30 am
puglet

do you live in a apartment Sprite
4:31 am
sprite

*giggle* My daughter was babysitting with them and she called me... said he wouldn't quit crying and had puked all over the place, and her. So I went there and calmed the baby while she cleaned up. The second I left the room, he started all over.
4:31 am
sprite

no, we are living in a house, but it is not freestanding. It is one of a row of houses.
4:32 am
rubyfoo

we're in a house with a big hedge all around and I can still hear the neighbors if their grandchildren are at their pool!
4:32 am
puglet

He probally feels her uncertainly on handling him--lol
4:32 am
sprite

oh yeah. Children's voices carry.
4:32 am
rubyfoo

And before them, the old neighbors had 3 very noisy small children, and it was terrible all summer
4:33 am
rubyfoo

When Sprite hugs me, I stop crying! lol
4:33 am
sprite

no, she is very good with children. It is just that a mamma has more experience. I am not afraid to hold him tight and restrict his movements, so he can calm down.
4:33 am
rubyfoo

bye for now, my friends
4:33 am
sprite

*hugs ruby* Whenever you need a hug, hun.
4:33 am
rubyfoo

I used to swaddle my son and he never cried
4:34 am
puglet

bye Ruby-enjoy your outing--hugs again
4:34 am
sprite

enjoy lunch!
4:38 am
sprite

sometimes children wind up themselves again and again by moving wildly. If it is from anger, it is ok to restrict their movements a bit, so they can calm down. It was so sweet, after the first few seconds he grabbed my neck with his arm and held close, burying his face in my neck.
4:39 am
puglet

is he their only child
4:40 am
sprite

no, he is their third. They are doing everything right. But as every mother knows, some days are just like that... they cry.
4:41 am
puglet

some crying is good for them but not so easy on us-lol
4:41 am
sprite

hehehe true. We are hormonally programmed to feel panic when they cry.
4:45 am
sprite

how is your sister doing, pug?
4:46 am
puglet

I think there is some improvement since she started the new meds for her tyroid
4:46 am
sprite

was wondering about that. How nice! She sure could use a little improvement.
4:48 am
puglet

yesterday I took her and another sister to town and we happen to find there was a little fall fair going on so we parked and walked about looking at the crafts in the booths along the streets
4:49 am
sprite

oh great! Best of all, those unplanned treats. Did you see anything good?
4:52 am
puglet

You bet, but I didnt buy anything--but got some great ideals. I had my little Annapooh with me too, her first outing in a crowd like that and she was a bit scared. But they had alot of fall decorating ideals with pumpkins
4:54 am
sprite

oh that is cool :) I like all those carved out pumpkins. Some people are total artists with them.
Great going on Annapooh. The sooner they get used to crowds, the better. We took terra everywhere when he was a pup and now he is not afraid of anything at all.
4:54 am
puglet

its getting close to babble's 6 o-clock thing
4:56 am
sprite

yes, a few more minutes indeed.
4:56 am
puglet

Ive took her to alot of places and to a store that lets pets shop with you and she does great.But this was lots of people close together,something she has not experence before==lol
4:57 am
sprite

while we were socialising terra, we took him to the playground of the school, when we took the children to and from school. Worked like a charm. And market day in the city. He loves it.
5:00 am
puglet

I would love taking Else but Iam leary about her.She is not too friendly towards strangers and I would feel bad if she bit someone.She was 7mo old when I got her from the pound. She likes riding as they all do.
5:03 am
sprite

you can build up the exposure with her, if you want. Take her to increasingly crowded areas. Don't pick her up and don't acknowledge her when she acts scared, but talk to her and pet her when she is calm. She can still learn.
5:04 am
puglet

sprite, why does babble do this? Is there a reason?
5:08 am
puglet

well tomorrow starts your new chapter in your life
5:08 am
puglet

will you be able to be on here in the morning
5:11 am
sprite

pug, yes there is a reason
5:11 am
sprite

at 5 am grid time, the game is reset on the server. The rankings are rewritten at that time.
5:12 am
sprite

pug, the new therapy group starts on Monday Sep 30th, not tomorrow. I will be on tomorrow morning for sure.
5:12 am
puglet

thank you for the imfo
5:12 am
sprite

after that, one more time on Friday, and then I will be on on Friday mornings and not anymore on Monday mornings.
5:12 am
puglet

oh--I was thinking it started monday
5:13 am
puglet

rose is returning to work tomorrow
5:13 am
sprite

yes, but next week. It is amazing how well it all fits... last day on the farm on Friday 27, then first day in the clinic on Monday 30.
5:14 am
sprite

omg... already. That is way too soon, if you ask me. But nobody ever asks me, lol.
5:14 am
puglet

well thats good you go right into the new
5:15 am
puglet

yeah I dont get it--one says work and one says rest
5:16 am
sprite

am pretty sure I am being guided to the clinic. It all fits so beautifully.
5:16 am
sprite

I hope she will be able to sit and not hurt her leg anymore than it already is.
5:17 am
puglet

she said chair duty and for 5 hours
5:18 am
sprite

ok, that is at least one good thing. Might be nice to be at work for a bit. Other people, other place to be.
5:18 am
puglet

Yeah and Iam sure she need the income too
5:19 am
sprite

yes... but I thought she was on work cover.
5:22 am
sprite

not sure who recently told me that the grids don't change randomly but with certain patterns. But I think she is right. Again several repeat words from yesterday. Like the AL girl's names.
5:23 am
puglet

I did too Sprite and she still needs surgery yet but waiting on the insurance co
5:24 am
sprite

I so wish things were better organised there. Here, this wouldn't have been happening like this. She would have been able to stay at home while waiting for the op, and the insurance would pay for the op without question.
5:27 am
puglet

you would think that the workforce would treat their long time workers better. But it would be about the same here I hate to say
5:28 am
puglet

money is more important then life in most of these cases
5:28 am
puglet

did you get to read those short stories on DH
5:29 am
negativeneil

So what did you mean by the comment you made at 4:07 am spite? How was I "part of" that? Nope. I just missed all of that... except for someone who came later going by the name "Angel" and we think is also "Andrew in Drag".
5:29 am
sprite

very true, pug, and makes me worry for our rose
5:30 am
sprite

and yes, I read the stories you said... so beautiful
5:31 am
sprite

hello neil, rewriting history? You were like peas in a pod with the JC and Nancyboy chars. And your email convo with me was about the same as the one between the JC and me. I reserve my judgment.
5:31 am
negativeneil

How so? I didn't know "Nancyboy". And I don't know Julian that well either. So nope... not so at all.
5:32 am
negativeneil

Huh? Whatever.
5:32 am
grannyrose

now ladies, if i may wade in here...
5:32 am

as I said, rewriting history. Doesn't matter to me, I will keep my distance, as I did before. Not trusting you.
5:32 am
puglet

by all means Rose
5:33 am

hiya rose! Lovely to see you, grin. We were worried about you, I heard you are going back to work tomorrow?
5:33 am

Glad that you do. Don't need to know nasty people.
5:33 am

and off he is with calling names. Bye neil, as I said, I will keep my distance.
5:34 am
grannyrose

there have been some very shady characters in this chog. please believe me, Neil is NOT one of them. i very rarely am so assertive. but i must emphasise that Neil is a real person.
5:35 am
negativeneil

Names? Haven't called anyone a "name".
5:35 am
negativeneil

But you act nasty, must be nasty.
5:35 am
sprite

I was already keeping my distance from him before the whole charade, rose... as a result of not so pleasant emails. I will stay away from the drama with neil.
5:35 am
negativeneil

Please do that. No amount of distance could be enough.
5:36 am
negativeneil

That's why you're creating it by making nasty comments about me in here, when I was doing nothing to you? Yeah... oook!
5:36 am

btw rose, did you meet him in person?
5:36 am
grannyrose

okay, we are agreed. Neil and sprite are oil and water.
5:37 am

Has everyone met you in person?
5:37 am

yep. Several babblers.
5:38 am

That isn't all of them I'm sure. Many people I know online have met me too... just not Babblers so far.
5:39 am

well, as I said, not wanting to be part of the everlasting neil drama. Am stopping this useless conversation, neil.

rose, pug said you were going back to work tomorrow. Do you feel ready?
5:41 am
grannyrose

sprite, not really, but i have a mortgage to pay...what else can i do?
5:41 am

darn it, hun. I SO wish you would have the social security we have here. Will send stabilizing and healing vibes to your leg... you will stay put, won't you?
5:42 am

oh wow, pug! That brightens up the whole day, doesn't it, every time you look at it!
5:47 am

yeah it does--lol

5:47 am

5:55 am

5:55 am

lol
5:58 am
puglet

getting back to the book thing(I didnt answer back due to letting you and Ruby talk) I dont think her other series interest me. It seemed dull compared to the hunters
5:59 am
puglet

But I got several more to buy and read to get through them all; I want to get the first one fanasty lover because I think it is about Grace and Julian
5:59 am
sprite

she is a very good writer and I think the other series are good too. But maybe not as much fun. For now, you have a whole lot of books still to go in the DH series :)
6:01 am

oh and btw, feel free to post whenever, in the middle of whatever conversation... I can do several at once, grin.
6:01 am

but its polite to let someone else enjoy you too-lol
6:02 am

lolollll pug, you are such a dearheart. Seriously. Such a loving person you are.
6:04 am
puglet

we are just going into the start of our fall weather and its pretty watching the trees to start changing colors
6:04 am
puglet

do you have four seasons there
6:04 am
sprite

my favorite time of the year. The colours and the smells, and even the weather.
6:05 am
sprite

yes, we have 4 seasons.
6:05 am
puglet

do you have alot of snow during the winter
6:06 am
sprite

some winters. They can be rainy or snowy or with lots of ice. Very unpredictable, the weather in the netherlands.
6:07 am
puglet

I love fall and spring the best--summer until it gets past 85 and winter until ice and below temps arrives
6:07 am
puglet

that sounds about like our winter too
6:07 am
puglet

does Rose get snow?
6:08 am
puglet

and Ruby?
6:08 am
sprite

I love fall best. Storms, beautiful colours and such lovely smells, toadstools. I like spring for the bursting out life from everything. Summer unless it is too hot and humid. And winter would be grand if it wouldn't be so dark.
6:09 am
sprite

don't know about rose, but ruby, yes. She can get snow, and ice.
6:09 am
sprite

oh, I have a waking light now, for light treatment during the winter! First winter I can use it. Will be very interesting to see if it works against depression.
6:10 am
puglet

do you have dark days like alaska?
6:11 am
puglet

Ive read that sunlight does help depressions
6:12 am
sprite

lol no, there is always day and night here. But the days are short in winter. Sun up late in the morning and down in the afternoon.
6:13 am
sprite

yes, they say that when you get too little daylight, depressions can be caused or made worse. I have this light that will start shining very softly an hour before I get up, then grow stronger until the alarm. It should imitate waking up from the summer sun.
6:13 am
puglet

I think it would be very hard to have weeks of total darkness
6:13 am
sprite

would be impossible to manage for me, pug. And for many people, I think. So many depressed people in the scandinavian countries.
6:14 am
puglet

oh wow, let me know how that works for you
6:14 am
puglet

why is that sprite
6:14 am
sprite

will do! I have faith that it will help. It has been tested extensively.
6:14 am
sprite

I think because of the long dark winters, pug.
6:15 am
puglet

did you get this through the clinic
6:15 am
sprite

no, I got it from my medical insurance.
6:15 am
puglet

I have never heard of such a light

black tea
7:12 am

just a nice strong variety that i like.i find teas like green teas and english breakfast and earl grey too weak
7:13 am
MLFAN17

oh..cross have you ever had black tea just by itself? I have heard its not bad. But read somewhere white tea is the best health wise
7:13 am
crosshair

i know the green and white teas are much better for you but they are not to my taste
7:14 am
MLFAN17

i find green tea(plain) too sour
7:14 am
crosshair

they have more flaveniods or some such thing.same as whats in high 70% or more pure chiocolate
7:15 am
MLFAN17

is that good or bad?
7:15 am
crosshair

it is very good for you
7:15 am
MLFAN17

7:16 am
crosshair

so do not be shy about eating those 70,80 or 90% pure chocolate bars you see at the grocer
7:16 am

7:17 am

it is going very well,mimi though after a gap of 33 years,i have had to retrain my mind a bit
7:45 am
MimiCat

I know what you're saying. When I went back after just as long I had to write a 2500 word original research paper complete with references, bibliography, etc. I was so proud to get 100% on it. I hadn't done that kind of paper since I was in my mid-20s. Felt really good to know I could still do a good job.
7:45 am

MimiCat

All math ever did for me was lower my grade point average!
7:48 am
crosshair

A frog goes into a bank and approaches the teller. He can see from her nameplate that her name is Patricia Whack.

"Miss Whack, I'd like to get a $30,000 loan to take a holiday." Patty looks at the frog in disbelief and asks his name. The frog says his name is Kermit Jagger, his dad is Mick Jagger, and that it's okay, he knows the bank manager.

Patty explains that he will need to secure the loan with some collateral. The frog says, "Sure. I have this," and produces a tiny porcelain elephant, about an inch tall, bright pink and perfectly formed. Very confused, Patty explains that she'll have to consult with the bank manager and disappears into a back office.

She finds the manager and says, "There's a frog called Kermit Jagger out there who claims to know you and wants to borrow $30,000, and he wants to use this as collateral." She holds up the tiny pink elephant. "I mean, what in the world is this?"

The bank manager looks back at her and says..."It's a knickknack, Patty Whack. Give the frog a loan. His old man's a Rolling Stone."

8:04 am
crosshair

that is not good:(( i can take you on back road and paths through the forest where it is such a dense area, you can actually smell the fgreen and the growing and the moss, and the soft secret deer lays of clover where they let their young sleep. you can smell the water of the streams and brooks as they babble and chuckle over the rocks down to the shores of georgian bay..my god! i am a walt whitman poem! lol

last time we were on a spur of the trail, we found a whole bunch of those giant puff ball mushrooms
8:08 am
Scrabbler

Lots of mushrooms, from wee to huge.
8:08 am
crosshair

things were like soccer balls
8:08 am
Scrabbler

Wow.
8:09 am
crosshair

i am told they are a delicacy,but the rule of thumb with the bruce trail is to leave it as you found it
8:09 am
magzel

before those giant puff ball mushrooms dry out they are delicious sautéed in butter. grow at the base of oak trees
8:10 am
Scrabbler

I would never pick and cook wild mushrooms.
8:10 am
Scrabbler

Someone has to be a mushroom expert to do that lest they end up dead or needing a liver transplant.

8:22 am
Scrabbler

Sure is.
8:24 am
crosshair

there is a live theatre group from the 80,s that used to work together to do audio books on cassette tapes called the minds eye. they are well worth looking up if you enjoy audio books
8:25 am
crosshair

each character has its own distinct personality,not just one person droning their way through a book
8:25 am
Scrabbler

My brain does not do audio books very well. I am visual so when listening my mind wanders off.
8:26 am
crosshair

i am mostly that way myself,but i have a 12 cassette boxed set from them as they do the lord of the rings that i treasure.was a gift from my brother in 1988
8:26 am
crosshair

i should really get it put on disc
8:27 am
Scrabbler

I was given 3 boxes of audiobooks and listened to "The Thirteenth Tale." One of my favorite books ever. Historical fiction--my favorite.
8:28 am
crosshair

there are places that will put your faves on dvd for you, scrabby then you can make copies and pop them on your tablet etc
8:28 am
Scrabbler

And at 122/100 I need a break.
8:28 am
crosshair

well they would most likely turn them into a mp3 or mp4
8:28 am
Scrabbler

They will scan the book?
8:29 am
crosshair

they will take the audio book from cassette and reformat it,but yes i even have an app on my phone that will scan real books as well if needed
8:30 am
crosshair

they will also do the same with any old 8mm film
8:30 am
crosshair

or old 16 mm audio tape

A frog goes into a bank and approaches the teller. He can see from her name plate that the teller's name is Patricia Whack.

So, he says, "Mrs. Whack, I'd like to get a loan to buy a boat and go on a long vacation." Patti looks at the frog in disbelief and asks how much he wants to borrow.

The frog says "$30,000." The teller asks his name and the frog says that his name is Kermit Jagger, his dad is Mick Jagger, and that it is OK, he knows the bank manager.

Patti explains that $30,000 is a substantial amount of money and that he will need to secure some collateral against the loan. She asks if he has anything he can use as collateral.

The frog says, "Sure. I have this," and produces a tiny pink porcelain pig, about half an inch tall. Bright pink and perfectly formed.

Very confused, Patti explains that she'll have to consult with the manager and disappears into a back office.

She finds the manager and says: "There is a frog called Kermit Jagger out there who claims to know you and wants to borrow $30,000. And he wants to use this as collateral."

She holds up the tiny pink pig.
"I mean, what the heck is this?"


(are you ready?)














(are you sure?)








(here it comes!!!)

The bank manager looks back at her and says,
"It's a knick knack, Patti Whack.
Give the frog a loan.
His old man's a Rolling Stone."

most seriously mentally ill people don't kill, aren't dangerous
6:01 pm

and most of the 'famous' killers aren't discovered to be mentally ill until after the fact
6:02 pm

like the newtown man

if someone has a history of violence and is known to be schizofrenic, then they are a potential harm to society. how are they different from someone caught selling drugs? both harm society. i say if someone is a potential harm to society he should have to be monitored to take his meds if he is free. period.
6:06 pm
mab

that's the ft collins man. i don't think they knew he was sick. anyway, it's not the underlying point
6:07 pm

The Navy Yard shooter had a history of mental health problems.
6:07 pm

people don't choose to be schizophrenic
6:07 pm

lets get more mental health coverage at high rates (80%) and it will at least help. now it is 60% coverage for mental illness and 80% for other disease. when will we realize that mental illness is a threat to society sometimes?
6:08 pm
mkg

mab i know they dont choose it. but i have two cousins with the disease and both were verified not to be a threat or harm to society. this can be documented by psychiatrists and then they are free to do what they wish.
6:09 pm
mab

that makes more sense, mkg, and would be the compassionate thing to do if managed properly.
6:09 pm

We have a nation of psychologists and psychiatrists closing their practices because insurance regulations will not let them treat people the way they should be treated.

most states commit people known to be a danger to self or others
6:09 pm
mkg

you cant tell me that the navy shrinks didnt know of this mans issues with guns and violence. they just chose not to state unequivically that he was a potential threat to society. used to be that then they were held so they took meds and did better.

Oh no, most States don't. There is a huge population of homeless, mentally ill people because the States will not get into the mix.

so why wasnt this man committed if the shrinks knew of his arrests etc?
6:11 pm
mab

oh, yes there is. and bless you puglet.
6:11 pm

the navy shrinks never spoke to him, he had applied for care but it hadn't been processed yet, so i suppose me saying the va knew is false.
6:12 pm

our nation as a whole is so passive that the entire population is at risk! foster care isnt monitored. kids who are abused often are put back into their homes without proof that it wont happen again. the list goes on and on. it is a shame. a real shame.
6:12 pm

Laws in place vs. laws enforced are two totally different things. If this country had adequate mental health care and legislation, we would not be dealing with shooting after shooting.

a mentally ill 16 year old murdered his neighbors with knives and was freed on bail 6 years later. with no one to monitor meds after 12 months of compliance. when his shrink in prison was asked if he would be capable of murder again if he went off meds the shrink said yes. it is sad. sad sad.
6:17 pm
mkg

i am all for freedom for every mentally ill person who is not a societal risk. but for those who are a danger i am for not giving them their freedom. thats all. in newtown i believe no one knew the kid was ill. that was a different story but this guy was known. that is what i find so sad. thats all. and maybe i am wrong that he was missed. maybe there was no way to see this coming.

As reported by Jonathan Metzl in The Lancet (“Why are the Mentally Ill Still Bearing Arms?”, Volume 377, Issue 9784, Pages 2172 - 2173, 25 June 2011), “According to Columbia University psychiatrist Paul Appelbaum, less than 3-5 percent of American crimes involve people with mental illness, and the percentages of these crimes that involve guns are actually lower than the national average — particularly when alcohol and drugs are taken out of the mix.”

Mental disorders are common in the United States and internationally. An estimated 26.2 percent of Americans ages 18 and older — about one in four adults — suffer from a diagnosable mental disorder in a given year.1 When applied to the 2004 U.S. Census residential population estimate for ages 18 and older, this figure translates to 57.7 million people.2 Even though mental disorders are widespread in the population, the main burden of illness is concentrated in a much smaller proportion — about 6 percent, or 1 in 17 — who suffer from a serious mental illness.1 In addition, mental disorders are the leading cause of disability in the U.S. and Canada.3 Many people suffer from more than one mental disorder at a given time. Nearly half (45 percent) of those with any mental disorder meet criteria for 2 or more disorders, with severity strongly related to comorbidity.1
6:39 pm
o-o

Whether it is 26.2 percent or a core 6 percent, those with mental disorders do not account for a higher percentage of violent acts ... what is being done about the other 95 percent?

As I pointed out the other day, the US has five percent of the world's population and 25 percent of the incarcerated. Yet, the gun violence goes on and on.

What is and isn't considered a mental disorder is socially adjustable and also defined by the medical establishment and the insurance companies. There are spectrum disorders, and the lines drawn to qualify as a disorder are subject to change. They are not fixed, and there is also cultural determinism.

My congressional delegation says the solution is to keep guns out of the hands of the irresponsible, including those with mental disorders. Good idea. Then the delegation votes against any measure the deals with gun control. They prize guns because it means votes ... so guns are more important than lives.

The hardest part of being on the jury is that you cannot talk about the case, even with other jurors, before the deliberations begin.

in hindsight, did you like your decision?

sounds like someone did not get the joke . . . 8-)
8:32 pm

Yes I did. Except that we would have awarded more damages if we knew more about the principals.
8:32 pm

well, that is satisfying then!

The one thing I was never able to find out was if he ever had to pay up. I figured that with the bad blood between the parties, the decision was likely to be appealed.
8:34 pm
phandmd

no doubt
8:34 pm
welki

there are libraries you can check to see if the decision was appealed, wht
8:34 pm
welki

probably an online database
8:36 pm
wht

But that would require me to remember the name of the case, and this was a number of years ago.
8:37 pm

fireworks!!
8:37 pm
welki

not really - if you remember the appellate court it would have been heard it, you can probably do a boolean search, if you remember partial names, dates, etc
8:39 pm
wht

Perhaps, welki, but I am willing to live with some mystery in my life. :^)
8:39 pm
welki

interesting, but not that interested *lol*
8:40 pm
welki

that doesn't read the way i would have said it, wht - what i meant is that the case held your interest, but not enough to pursue it further
8:41 pm
wht

I think you are right on both counts.
8:44 pm

Well good night all.
