Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

If someone were addicted to therapy, how would they treat it?

Meta-therapy!

They sell a foldable one at Magellans but I haven`t tried it.

Ooh, intriguing! I don't fly often enough to remember from one trip to the next that a footrest would help, but, wow, could I ever use that at the theater or even in restaurants. Pretty much all chairs are too high off the ground for my legs to be comfortable for long.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

ION, I'm watching Hush with my next 2 classes as a lesson on visual storytelling. I really love my job.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Friday! What are people having for lunch today?

Leftover deep-dish pizza (cheese with sausage).

I am desperately curious about what's involved in sex addiction therapy.

They sit around not having sex?

That reminds me of the list of heart attack symptoms, which inevitably includes "many people have NO SYMPTOMS when they have a heart attack." So, like, I could be having a heart attack RIGHT NOW, since I'm not having any symptoms!

So, if sex rehab is sitting around not having sex, then I'm in sex rehab RIGHT NOW!

Here's, actually, where I don't see that it is sexual addiction. Because isn't sexual addiction, like gambling, or any other destructive behavior, the outlet but not actually what you're treated for in therapy? That is, you're a sexual addict because it's a result of underlying depression or some other mental health issue.

If you're a sexual addict because the underlying problem is you think you're entitled then in my mind you're an ass.

I don't think that feeling entitled is the underlying problem; I think it's part and parcel of the sexual addiction. I mean, I don't *know* that, because I don't really know anything about sexual addiction, but I would think that entitlement is part of the manifestation of the addiction, not the cause.

That's what gave me food poisoning 2 weeks ago, and just reading that made my stomach churn. Guess I'll be staying away from deep dish for the foreseeable future.

I hope you are feeling better, Sue, that sounds like an awful way to wake up.

Librarian Warlord

but I would think that entitlement is part of the manifestation of the addiction, not the cause.

This is exactly what I'm getting at. He offered, as the reason for his behavior, his feeling of entitlement. I'm saying that if there's nothing else that caused his behavior, then he's not a sexual addict, he's a horse's patootie.

Our wings are not tired.

I don't know if you watched his speech, Sparky, and I am not defending Tiger, but he didn't offer any excuses. He specifically said that one of many problems was a feeling of entitlement - but he indicated it was wrong to feel that way.
