Are you a doctor Anna?

Nope. Reason 1) calculous. That's a big reason. 2) By the time I discovered I loved children, but not enough to circumcise them or stick a rectal thermometer in their poor little rear ends, there was NO WAY (can you say manic doctor kills 12, and not by accident) I was gonna get through residency. I have been a longer term therapist for like 20 years, now I work part time as a more integrated, short term behavioral health coach making obscene money, far more than as a therapist. They keep promising me a therapy day, but like, IDK. Maybe. I feel guilty because e I have the highest license in all of Douglas and I have to ship off kids I know I could fix pretty fast to some pretty ineffective case managers because Rural Medicine Sucks,.

Every now and then I assuage my guilt by giving some kid who "really" needs it some super short term therapy, but I have to be sneaky so it makes me a better "IBH only visit this is NOT therapy but it is," type person."

I did during a moment of partial insanity think about becoming a Psychiatric physician's assistant because I get annoyed at some of the prescribing I see of idiot docs, especially in pedes but that required a whole lot more debt, the ability to create a double that was convincing (they give you NO money for school these days) and I was like, "Eh."

I love kids don't get me wrong, but investigating the gooey oozing parts of their body isn't really my thing. Brains? Sure? The weirder the better. Like, I had one little weirdo who LITERALLY would try to kill his little brother, We are like, "parents just caught him prior to him pushing younger brother off balcony type thing." I thought the kid was pretty neat as it happens, LOL, but I had to ship him off elsewhere. So, I taught him the mammalian diving reflex (hold your breath, a couple times, under ice water, it slows everything down including anger.)

The doc I told was like, "Um... aren't you worried about stopping his heart?"

I was like uh, "Dude, no, not really. For one, I do not advocate practices I have not tried first, and I wasn't even ready to kill a sibling when I tried it. Also, any kid ready to kill a sibling is better off passing out for a bit, but trust me it won't happen. He is PO'd extremely. I could probably hold him under a bit and he'd be fine,"

Yeah, some docs make you want to be docs so you can argue like on a level playing field during staff meeting, but mostly, I am quite happy doing what I do.

Except for the whole vaccination debacle. I found putting them in office chairs and spinning them around in both directions to be useful.... After the shot nothing was useful.. LOL.

I am putting THE REST of my nic in glass this weekend. And oh so many notes. God help me/us.

I think Thanksgiving weekend is soon, pretty sure.

Put a couple of drops of Quince in some unflavored and I don’t know how I feel about it. Definitely different.

I'm really liking TFA Quince at 10%. But I knew I liked Quince flavor before I bought it. The Quince Jelly is a bit bitter even mixed at lower percent. Probably better mixed with something else.

    I guess I’ll have to try quince for myself sometime

    Today, I have my knitting group. Then either a walk or a run.

    Mixing-wise, I still have some new recipes to try. I have Bronuts steeping. I've been vaping the Pecan Shortbread. It's good, but I think it needs tweaking for me. I don't like the sweetener in it, and want more nutty flavor. May add some AP and/or up the butter pecan.

    TFA. I think I need to try it in a recipe before writing it completely off. I also have the quince jelly I haven’t tried yet. I’m reading that quince is good in apple recipes.

    I'll be interested to hear what you think of the quince jelly. That's the one I didn't like as well. Quince is traditionally used along with apples in pies, and to make a paste eaten in Spain along with manchego. I plan to try mixing it both with apple and with cheesecake.

    Interesting job Anna. Thank you for the explanation. And thank you for helping the little future sociopaths of the world. And all the regular children who just need a little help. :wub:

    I’m decorating my house for Christmas today. It will take all day since I go all out. We have tickets for a college football game. But it’s raining and I’m not going. So we are skipping this one.

    I don't know about dill pickles, but FA Cucumber with just a hint of Black Pepper is a delightful summertime vape. I don't remember whose idea it was--HIC's? Huckleberried's? It was a long time ago...

    You have a great memory! I forgot all about that one so I had to go dig it up ... it was actually Hermit that came up with it however, no doubt with some inspiration from HIC.

    I also like HIC's Black Pepper Ice Cream recipe which, originally, was the sole reason I picked up that Black Pepper flavor.

    I think the conclusion here is that ice cream goes well with everything, lol.

    After my first try with Black Pepper,I've been afraid to mix the ice cream recipe.

    LOL. My daughter decorated after Halloween and I followed suit with some decor in my room. No tree up yet though. That won't come till sometime after Thanksgiving.

    I didn't find it particularly spicy myself but then again, I like spicy so I'm probably not a very good judge of that.

    LA Red is Virginia and Perique tobacco blend. 84 Turkish is Virginia, Burley and Samsoun tobacco blended together.

    Both of those sound really good, I would love to try them. It has been a long time since I have vaped a net tobacco.

    Just realized the Pecan Short Bread recipe doesn't HAVE sweetener in it. Must be the butter pecan that's making it too sweet? Only other ingredients are INW Shortbread and INW Vanilla Cream. Not sure if either of those are the culprits.
