I'm willing to bet there's a number of place you could get counseling for free or based on income, Sean. They may be religious organizations, but they often offer secular counseling for those kinds of things.
Well, we may not have parted on the best of terms. I realize certain words were exchanged. Also, certain... bullets. But that's air through the engine. It's past. We're business people.

Hmm.... Good advice, Sail. I'll keep that in mind.

Didn't mean to make you say "ugh", Sean. There are lots of places besides private counselors that offer fine group workshops. The Kaiser one here came highly recommended, and wasn't very expensive, even for non-members.

No, it's okay, Sparky. I'm just having a bit of an ugh day.

Silence means security silence means approval
Here in Seattle there's an organization run by the Presbyterian synod here that offers counseling on a sliding scale. While many of their psychologists and counselors are Christians, they're not a "Christian" organization per se, and they're all licensed counselors and psychologists. Sliding scale will charge you a price in relation to your income.
I'm willing to guess there's a similar sliding scale counseling group where you are, run by a religious or secular non-profit. You could try calling your health department and ask if they can point you in the right direction.

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?
ARG!! Still. At. Work.

Almost ten is an unreasonable hour to be at work. Go home, ChiKat.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I've skipped and skimmed.
My pron name is Smokey Princess. Damn.
Sail, did you say that you have an all-over itch with no other symptoms and no specific cause? I had that. Zyrtec was the only thing that stopped it. My dermatologist also warned me against using those dryer sheets that stop static cling. Apparently they leave a residue that some people are allergic to.
Steph, I have friends who swear by Airborne. Vitamin C and zinc have been shown to shorten the duration of colds; echinacea has not so far been proven to do squat. And, congrats on the gym and the healthy dinner! You are now my rolemodel.
So many pretty clothes! I need more. Perhaps this time I'll buy them in sizes that actually fit me.
Happy Anniversary, Nora & Tom!
~ma to everyone who needs it! Too many Buffistas having sad times, lately.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I have one picture of us at the wedding this past weekend. I look like a basketball in a black dress.
The boy crashed out on the chair tonight.

Oh thank God! I've spent the better part of the past two nights wrestling with integrating the equation for a parabola (mostly wrestling with the arithmetic -- going from -b^3+2b^2sqrt(b^2-4ac)-b^3+4abc+.... to something slightly more compact just to get 1/6th of the equation written) and it has, despite all expectations, come out right (that is to say, I either had no stray dropped negatives in there, or I had enough that I could cancel them out!). It's taken up about five sheets of notebook paper... now to type it up semi-concisely. But if any of you need some kind of proof about the relationship between the area of a parabolic segment and the triangle inscribed therein, I'm your girl!
