<t>We have a policy against FB in my agency. Now, mind you...I'm a counselor and it's never good to blurr boundaries in that dynamic, but my point is...a policy is a policy. So, that being said, if she was aware of the policy, then she was in the wrong. Beyond that..I don't understand why anyone wan...

Welcome back - how's life been treating you in the mean time?

It's been treating me well Bryn Mawr, and thanks to all for the welcome. I hope all is well with everyone.

Well hello ForumGarden. I've been a member here for quite some time, but have been away from the forum scene for a few years, and just happened across here so thought I'd say hello.

So, hi

How is she doing now, Nomad?

Mystery

<t>Nomad, that was an excellent answer regarding the motivation to quit. It's different for everyone, whether internal or external in nature. Oscar, Glad to hear you made it thru the withdrawal. W/D from Benzodiazepines is one of the most severe, actually. As for how you know i...

I read mine every week, front to back, and absolutely HATE it if someone tries to read it first, cause I hate for it to get crinkly and out of order

Mystery

Tried VO5?

I actually use only Pantene hair products. The in-shower conditioner works well, but they have a spray on that's good too, with options and I think one is designed for color-treated hair.

Mystery

Excellent news :-6

Mystery

Murphy's Oil Soap for hardwood works well.

Mystery

Terrific news! This is a good thing to read after the weekend I had!

Take care of you too!

Mystery

<t>Not so sure about that, as it could also cause even more problems. For instance, we know for certain it would be taxed and controlled, and most likely highly expensive, so you'd still have those doing it illegally and this could increase bad stuff, like human trafficking. Then again, there's a ne...

Mystery

I think, so long as you *both* go into it with eyes wide open, having laid out the rules (so to speak) things can work out. Also, you never know, it maybe what you've always wished for. Old saying about friends making the best lovers and all that.

Mystery

Okay, so I didn't vote, but I do agree. They should do the job they're paid to do.

Mystery

We're taught to talk candidly about it (both in school and in trainings). We're also taught to see the smaller signs, as many times people who are seriously suicidal (meaning to the poitn of having a plan of action) won't talk about it outright, as they don't want to be stopped.

Mystery

<t>Well, I have a Psych degree, and education is great. However, for me, life is what gave me the "know how" to do what I do, which is run an inpatient detox center. My former life was chock full of lessons learned, and some un-learned, and it gives me an added insight into the minds of my patients/...

It's called free will. Not to mention basic human rights. You simply have the right to believe in what you choose to believe in, as do I.

Sure I do. More so, however, that it would be evil manifesting itself into a form we view as human, although they could be in spirit form as well.
