At a recent visit to the doctor's for a bad cold, I was given a psychological evaluation.
Well it seems that doctors would like to prescribe medication only after knowing what type of an individual you are! Essentially they want to know about your childhood, your emotional response to circumstances, your interpersonal relations with your friends and relatives, etc.
If you are not prepared, most of these questions get you in a fix.
Q:How ambitious are you?
I started gesturing with my thumb and index figure trying to qualify ambition in terms of size.
Q:What do you want to do in life?
I think what I am doing now, if it wasn't I wouldn't be doing it, right.
Q:When was the last time you got angry and how angry did you get?
Eh, let me check...
Q:Are you an emotional person?
Yes I am but what you need to ask is how emotional I get.
Q:How do you feel, when you don't get what you wanted?
Great, how do you feel if you lose a million.
I can't say how many of the questions were relevant, but I came for a prognosis on one ailment and I got a diagnosis on another. Any which way somewhere down the line, I thought they've got me mistaken for another patient which is when they explained what the questions were for; anyway I think the young doctor had a field day with the questions.
I am just wondering, this was just a cold what would about the bloke who turns up at the doctors for a knee ache, and they probe his head.
I guess they would admit him, right away.
Forget you knee old chap, you can live without a knee but not without your head!!

when to call on a Doctor?
1. We get stricken by an infirmity and we call on a doctor.
2. We are not recovering from an infirmity or for some reason the infirmity has prolonged that we call on a doctor.
The former believes that all infirmities require a doctors attention.
The latter believes only those his body can't handle require the attention of a doctor.
The former is not presumptuous about anything.
The latter is presumptuous about most things.

negativism rogered the economy
Is that really true?
One reason what is coming up repeatedly is a war that has gone bad and this has led to a lot of negative publicity for US forces & this negativism has projected itself onto the world economy.
2 words to those who ascribe to this theory - absolute humbug!
Paul Krugman states: In the late 1960s America had a terrific, full-employment economy; it also had a deeply unpopular war, a crime wave, an explosion in the welfare rolls, and a general sense that the country was on the wrong track.
And the economy was going great.
So what happened now!
Erroneous Federal Reserve policies, the US debt, the asian surplus feeding the US debt and it required just one thing to unwind. Usually its like all the erroneous policies clog onto a small hole and the errors keep piling up till it finally gives way.
This time the unwinder was the housing sector.
Actually we are pretty selfish species, people die, people don't have proper housing or clothing and people have wars, but for those economies that can carry ahead will.
For those of us who know where to make money will even in times of war, peril and famine.

toddler manic behaviour
Most of my friends now fear going out.
I think its been sometime since they have stepped out in a social gathering.
The reason 'toddlers'; they are apprehensive on how the toddler would be in a social gathering like a restaurant or mall.
the toddler meltdown — that moment in a store, restaurant or airplane when a once-happy child loses it. He screams, cries and flails as his embarrassed parents desperately try to calm him.
I am sure no parent want to be in this situation, frankly because the response is bad parent(ignorant to say the least) or crazy kids (got to have something from the mom or dad or both) , I have often concluded so.
But then there aren't any other options or are there?
