So what did you do today.

Trade secret

But for you, Shiva, I'll post it here .

Layer 3 cups of mushrooms at the bottom of the slow cooker. Put 4 carrots (cut into 3/4 inch pieces) above that. And then 8 ozs of pearl onions above that. Sprinkle with 3 teaspoons of tapioca.

Then take half a lb of beef chuck roast, cut into 3/4 inch cubes and brown it on a skillet. Remove the meat and then take another half a lb of beef chuck roast (same 3/4 inch cubes) and put it in the skillet with a chopped large onion and a couple cloves of garlic, diced. Cook that until the meat is browned and the onion is tender. Then put the meat mixture (along with the other browned meat) on top of the veggies in the slow cooker.

Then hit it with thyme, marjoram, salt, and black pepper. Pour 1/2 cup of beef broth and 1.5 cups of burgandy wine (I used a Pinot Noir) over everything.

Turn on slow cooker and cook for 10-12 hours.

If you want, you can put in some bacon at the end (I skipped the step... had no bacon).

Serve over egg noodles.

Eat.

Well, got out of bed around 7PM. Checked the score of the game between Club Brugge and Cercle Brugge around 8PM. Rejoiced at the win for Club Brugge and went for a walk around 10PM. Got booze around 11PM. Got to drinking around 12PM. Not sure what I did after 12Pm.

Bah noob.


Got up way too early for work at stubru (still have hangover at 14.20 ), arrived there, read some newspapers, put a few posts online and now I'm thinking of going back home to play football all evening.

I DON'T think a western psychologist would take that tact, and I DON'T think what they do instead, would do so well at relieving his depression of having a girlfriend who cheats on him.

In these two sentences there, I would suggest you emphasize the word "think" and not the word "don't." While you may be quite pleased with your own style of counseling, you simply do not have enough data on the subject matter. You haven't studied psychology in school. You haven't conducted research about it, only collected anecdotal evidence. And in one particular instance, what you suggest is true is actually plain wrong...

I would of course tip my hat to any psychologist who forgets the little notepad and the diagnosis and just listens and offers heartfelt advice and amusing/heartening perspectives on life's difficulties. But I'm pretty sure they don't teach that in universities. They teach how to diagnose mental illness and prescribe pills.

Psychologists do not prescribe pills; psychiatrists do. Psychologists have plenty of other methods not involving pharmaceuticals for treating people with problems.

All the details of this discussion aside, I would suggest that someone as enlightened as yourself should stop making so many assumptions about a subject so far removed from your own experience. To put it simply, you don't know what you're talking about. Perhaps you should read a book about it?

But it's their loss. Because their patients keep coming back time and time again with more problems. I don't have that problem in the least! Mine almost never come back! They go away happy .

I think you are puffing yourself up quite a bit. You don't really know what this kids problem really is. You've only said somethings to make him feel better. As far as really helping him with his mental problems, if he has any, you haven't done anything. People keep going to psychologists because they have very serious problems that need serious, professional help. It takes time.

I'm disgruntled more than the whole USPS today.
First of all, the weather changed. It used to be unusually warm, but now it's drizzling and cold. And I had to take an umbrella to work. I hate umbrellas. And despite it's cold outside, it's hot and stuffy in the metro.
Than I've been assigned to a task at work that made my head hurt, because
a) I don't know **** about consumer lending
b) These ****ing tables wouldn't join.
Then when I left the office in the evening, my earphones broke down. Both earpieces would play only in a very specific position of the cord. I had to buy a new set, so I popped into the bank to withdraw some cash. The single till had a queue with a wait time of 30 minutes, so I had to use my euro Visa to get some roubles from an ATM.
Then I went to the electronics mall and bought the very same model of earphones I used. And they sounded ****ing worse than my broken ones. Unbalanced channels, and the basses are pitiful. It doesn't even block out the outside noise as well.
Now I don't have any earphones I can enjoy and am tired and disgruntled.

Let's see... today: Went to work. Worked. Came back from work. Got a better data plan for my cell phone.

At the moment I'm catching up with my ongoing flaming discussions and e-mails. It's amazing how many people are wrong on the Internet.

Later on I'm going to pour myself some Pepsi and install MacOS X on VMware.

Life is good.

a) Consumer lending is simple. Everything is simple until Basel II enters the picture.

b) NULLs in strange places, eh? Good for mental exercise!

I stayed up till 3:45 a.m. this morning to finish a rough draft of my final term paper for Corporate Ethics (it's about how U.S. corporations should conduct themselves ethically in a new developing market like China).

Slept until 9 a.m. then went to attend my Corporate Ethics class.

At noon, I called up the job offer in the capital and politely thanked them but told them I can't follow through with the second round of interviews because I've accepted another job in the local city. I wished them luck and hoped they'd get an excellent candidate for this summer. Also I kept my channels of communications open with them by promising to let them have a copy of my Corporate Ethics essay when I was done with it, later in May.

Called the local job offer to confirm my summer interest. Left a message for the judge, will get back to him by email and also by phone tomorrow. (I have until Wednesday to do so.)

Called the tax court and gave them my polite withdrawal.

Called the venture startup and gave them my polite withdrawal.

About an hour ago I started reading for my evening classes. After that I'm going to have to do my taxes, which are due by close of business tomorrow. My tax circumstances are extremely basic and I've got all the relevant forms all lined up at home and ready to plug into the tax software, so I don't expect this to take more than an hour or so. Last year it took even less.

Tonight I may cook, for the first time in about a month and a half. The mouse problem in our kitchen (wherein they were living literally in the stove) appears to have been taken care of.

I slept in till half seven and felt horribly lazy for sleeping so much. Went to work and tampered with the natural order of things. Came home and sent the bf a snarky email seeing if he fancied going for dinner, a movie, or something for the first time in seven weeks (an irritating confluence of work, family and poor health means we've barely seen each other). Ate dinner and now watching the news.

[LordShiva]

So he answered in teh negative?
