That doesn't sound like it went well either.

Well here's to being thankful kids are such resilient things.

I'm not in the mood for D3 at the moment. I was in the mood for WoW, but didn't want to spend $15 for a 1 month subscription, hence the Rift thing.

We got a list of stuff to look out for. You want to make sure they're basically their normal selves. If they're extra groggy or grouchy, etc. stuff could be bad. But that stuff is usually pretty rare, but still taking a day off to make sure they're not worse off seemed like a worthwhile endeavor.

Besides, it was an extra day off.

Or Spongebob is on.

On that note, there are a few schools teaching exclusively with iPads here now. They also have grades not based on age but on how good the kids are per subject which I think is an interesting concept. Of course if an older kid has to do math with all the younger kids he or she is an obvious target for bullying but then again the same goes if that kid was only getting F's and now they're at least learning at their own pace rather than scrambling to keep up.

It seems to work well enough, the article mentioned that there were 2 schools like this last school year, 9 now and 20+ next year.

So I went out for ramen with my sister and brother-in-law last night, which was a lot of fun. It was also solid stress relief for me, which was desperately needed.

Both for the fun parts, and because they had advice for me (professional, personal, and more specific, since my brother-in-law has an existing professional/personal relationship with my boss that's helpful).

My sister also knows my personality, so the chances of me seeing a doctor now are much better. Not because literally anything is different (I've always been aware I needed one), but because I'm an empathetic person by nature, and she pointed out me going see one for my anxiety disorder makes it more likely my mom would go see one for HERS, which is important to me. So.

Also, the ramen was really ******* good. It was just a hole-in-the-wall place I had only noticed in passing before. It's a nice discovery, because the ramen shops I knew about were only so-so.

So idiggory is getting bullied and coaxed into seeing a doctor, is that what social healthcare is in the USA?

Haha, no.

Normally mental healthcare is so stigmatized that people refuse to go on that basis alone (meaning, my mother).

I'm refusing to go for the same reason it's difficult to get me to see any doctor...

Pretty much.

See, you're a natural at it. You'd fit in well here.

Also,

SEE A ******* DOCTOR ALREADY.

Internet is a scary place.

If there's one refreshing thing about the remnants of the community still here it's that most of them have been around internet forums long enough not to get overly worked up over anything that's posted. I suppose we miss out on some of the antics other forums have, but I'm not sure that extra entertainment is worth it.

If he is he's doing a very good job of hiding it.
