All the best, msbelle. I hope the therapist helps the situation.
Jinx? If you and Dreg have been using my moisturizer again I'm going to have to rip off your scaly- hey, what's the deal with your face?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
We never moved when I was a kid. In fact, my father moved for the first time in his life when he was about 70.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
As a kid, I loved moving, mostly because I didn't get along very well with the rest of my class(es). I saw it as a chance to practice introducing myself. It took my a long while, after school, to realize it doesn't matter: people will still be people, everywhere.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I only remember moving at the end of kindergarten -- my parents live in the house they bought when I was 4 or so. But then I changed school systems for high school, and that was slightly traumatic.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I can think of a whole lot of replies to that, but none are workplace appropriate.

I went to a small private religious school for 1st-8th grades. The transition to a public school after that was a little traumatic for me too.

I didn't really settle in with a group of friends until junior year -- I tried one freshman year, it didn't work out, and I spent sophomore year more or less friendless. Which was not as sad as it sounds?

Because books.
We moved a bunch of times. In the middle of third grade, and then after sixth grade, all the way from NJ to FL. Then we moved *back* to the same town in NJ at the start of ninth grade, which made it a little easier, although by then it was junior high and not simply the elementary school kids I knew.
I hate change, and it was always rough for me, but looking back I handled it a lot better than I could have, I guess.

I agree about "not as sad as it sounds". Tara-esque, but I thought that's how things are, and read a lot of books and watched a lot of TV until high school, when I started to fit in. I don't regret it.
