Franks Psychiatry 2 #16: token economy
LaurašŸŒ» said:

Frank,
I like that title: TOKEN ECONOMY

Smoked for a year many, many, many moons ago just to be cool, to be social, to fit in with the crowd, etc...in other words, just being stupid!...(long story why I smoked only for one year)...
Now I have to deal with secondhand smoking! Cā€™est la vie!

Smoking was the norm back in those days. I gave up smoking 35 years, 4 months, 1week 1 day ago, not that I am counting of course.

Important facts to know.

Franks Psychiatry 2 #15: character formation
LaurašŸŒ» said:

...and this is how it goes...

Alcohol...

Letā€™s enjoy the moment...
Letā€™s celebrate...
Letā€™s have a drink!

I feel the pain...
I need to anesthetize...
I need a drink!

...and now the nightmares
are forever with him!
(...this is the fact for one of my family member...unfortunately...)

Thank you for sharing snippets of your younger self, Frank!

Frank,
I enjoyed reading your write, but I wouldnā€™t want to be in there!
Many years ago, I witnessed such a
seating arrangement at a convent...minus the MALES, of course! Good thing I was just visiting!

A fine write, Frank!
Iā€™m wondering what your
first impression was
and what did you think about when you first met the ā€œNurse-In-Chargeā€?

Franks Psychiatry Pt 1 #10: card collector
LaurašŸŒ» said:

Frank,
A great write! Do you still have those cards?
It reminds me of my Cracker Jack boxes of caramel flavored popcorn. Couldnā€™t wait to get to surprise in the box! My sonā€™s obsession was collecting baseball cards! Fond memories!

Franks Psychiatry 1, #6: conditions of employment
Nicholas Browning said:

I think I\'m just old enough to see where you\'re coming from. People younger than me won\'t have the privilege of knowing about the way things wen\'t down back then, I fear. Alas, they will be faced with robots stealing their jobs! Sweet revenge, muahaha. Anyways, nice piece of work sir. Much truth indeed.
