MMMMM, I like some thick cut turkey bacon crumbled over 3 eggs ( over easy baby ) and 2 huge scratch biscuits smothered in sausage gravy. Big glass of orange juice and then a martini with garlic stuffed olives. That's how I roll on a Sunday morning !!!!!!! Thinking about "following some people around" today ( also known as grocery shopping/checking out/going to my car in the parking lot ).

I've stumbled onto the food channel and now I MUST have bacon.

I'm slow smoking a pork loin and going to add some chicken quarters in a few hours. Suppers on me.

I started my strawberries too late this year and only yielded a few. I'm learning....... I also realize two plants aren't enough now. Next year I want a patch.

I consider racism a mental illness, along with PMS and menopause. Neurosis of all kinds is considered mentai illness. And some seem like weirdos and are normal. Some seem normal and are not.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neurosis
According to C. George Boeree, professor emeritus at Shippensburg University, effects of neurosis can involve:
...anxiety, sadness or depression, anger, irritability, mental confusion, low sense of self-worth, etc., behavioral symptoms such as phobic avoidance, vigilance, impulsive and compulsive acts, lethargy, etc., cognitive problems such as unpleasant or disturbing thoughts, repetition of thoughts and obsession, habitual fantasizing, negativity and cynicism, etc. Interpersonally, neurosis involves dependency, aggressiveness, perfectionism, schizoid isolation, socio-culturally inappropriate behaviors, etc.[6]

All of these have been given as reasons to murder.

And then there is mis-diagnosis. Psychopaths test normal, unless you really dig in. And some of our most important thinkers seem mentally ill in a quirky sense but are not, or seem normal and test as psychopathic. That is the so called Warrior Gene.


And then there are the best babies in this bathwater, young Eisenstein, etc.

Intellectual giftedness is an intellectual ability significantly higher than average. It is a characteristic of children, variously defined, that motivates differences in school programming.

Gifted children and adults are being misdiagnosed and given medication for disorders they don’t have. This book is your guide to help prevent that. Some of our brightest, most creative children and adults are misdiagnosed as having behavioral or emotional disorders such as ADD/ADHD, Oppositional Defiant Disorder, Bipolar Disorder, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, or Asperger’s Disorder. Many receive unneeded medications and/or inappropriate counseling. How can this happen? Many physicians, psychologists, and counselors are unaware of characteristics of gifted children and adults that mimic pathological diagnoses.
Wow you took that really far. Nice and thorough.
