Thank you all for the support, it is much obliged.
winx since you apologized i will let it slide, i know you were joking, but to some people think mental disorders are funny and that is sad. There are NO disorders that are funny, than again people are morons.
ACOE stand for the Army Corps of Engineers. they are the ones responsible for locks, dams, levies, flood walls, dikes, dredging rivers and most other river related things.
Thanks again to every one, if I need help i know where to turn

Another beautiful day here in Missouri. Hope it lasts

Corn, You are right, it is a terrible thing to put down people with mental illnesses. I think that if people do put others down, it is due to lack of knowledge. I may, on occassion, make light of it - but never put down. I think it's because I have been exposed to it so much.

See, my child is in counseling because Dad stands up child too much. We have a family counseling session tomorrow. The Ex is on meds and in counseling. Like I said, I have been to counseling.

I have worked at Places for People. Most of the clients are schizophrenic and bi-polar. I have worked in the Psych Ward at the VA Hospital in Jefferson Barracks - with the non-functioning mentally ill and the Dual Diagnosis unit. I have a background in psych. (Occupational Therapy) - even was in the psych. honor society in college.

Again, I would never ever mean to offend you on purpose.

Yeah, I know you Winx! I'll back you up!!

(((Bear))) Sometimes I have to make light of it so it won't get me down.

I understand and i am not mad, well angry that is.
some times a little joke is just the thing to keep from getting down.
I know you are a good person winx, no hard feelings.

I wish the best for you, corn.

thank you dear, i am sure it will all be fine.
Oh get this, the doctor told me that the side affect of one of my meds is a rash that is fatal.

I wouldn't like to hear that either.

Have you done a google search on it? I've been doing that for a friend's meds.

They warn not to operate machinery. So what do i do. i take my pills then it's off to work i go to operate machinery.

Cornonthecob, It's a good idea not to drink with certain meds.

Last weekend, a 28 y/o girl died next door to me. She had been drinking all night and taking Xanax. She didn't wake up.

Sorry to be a downer on this one. But, I do want everybody to know about Xanax and alcohol.

Happy Easter!
