June 28, 2006Odd BitsA mom is murdered in Maine. And now one of the state's papers is arguing against patients' civil liberties and calling the Treatment Advocacy Center "highly-respected." By whom? College students want more meds. I think they need more bong hits personally. JK. Mississippi set to execute man with bipolar disorder. Only in the South. Trying to find psych meds that mimic nicotine. Most schizophrenics and many bipolars smoke a tons of cigs, perhaps medicating their dopamine receptors. I knew smoking was good for something! Social networking site claims to be first for the mentally-ill. Um, and MySpace's groups aren't? Posted by Philip Dawdy at June 28, 2006 08:53 AM

Here's a new twist on Therapy Dogs
Nude Sunbather: Cheekies Helps Disorder
He says sunbathing is a balm for a skin condition he developed after exposure to World Trade Center toxins while leaving a lower Manhattan gym. Those are the arguments DelCore presents in his suit, filed in federal court in Central Islip. DelCore, of Forest Hills, Queens, favors a "clothing optional" beach near Kismet, on Fire Island. But officials at the Fire Island National Seashore say Cheekies is not welcome. The park allows only guide dogs on its swimming beaches. DelCore says his dog's healing presence qualifies him as a "service dog." © 2006 The Associated Press
Regarding the Puget Sound Nanny Syndrome: Besides watching where one smokes, don't even think about feeding a pigeon. Imagine smoking in a park, on a bench, and feeding pigeons to relax. Now imagine a fine so large you may as well have booked a flight for a vacation somewhere. When the public is left without any legal way to unwind, the Nanny Syndrome panel will probably start complaining about a shift upward in crimes. Petty sneaking of a smoke behind a feed shop while purchasing grains to feed the birds, or worse, sitting with a laptop in a park and gambling online, while smoking and feeding pigeons in Redmond. Oh now that would be a glorious moment of defiance. http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/eastsidenews/2003139182_pigeons20e.html
The law takes effect five days after it is published, which means it will be law July 29. The move was prompted by complaints from business owners and residents about congregating pigeons and their droppings.".(more) Posted by: Stephany at July 20, 2006 08:31 AM |
