Today a nurse practitioner came to my house to examine me, a "free" service offered by my insurance company.
She asked to see many things:
o My medicine list
o Results of my last medical exams
o My medical history
after weighing me (using her own scale) and taking my blood pressure (both sitting and standing) she asked me questions about my mental health.
Then she asked me two questions:
o draw a clock with the hands 11:10
o remember three words
Of course I remembered that this "test" was part of DJT's "IQ test", so I knew I had to perform well
She told me the three words, and I drew the clock.
Just before she left she said "What were the three words?"
"Village, kitchen, baby" I immediately answered.
She gave me an extra point because it had been more than three minutes since she told me the words.
Wow!! I can now be President of the United States.

When a hobo told Andy he should just let Opie "decide for himself" how he wanted to live… Andy had these words of wisdom.
"No, I'm afraid it don't work that way. You can't let a young’n decide for himself. He'll grab at the first flashy thing with shiny ribbons on it. Then, when he finds out there's a hook in it, it's too late. Wrong ideas come packaged with so much glitter that it's hard to convince ‘em that other things might be better in the long run. All a parent can do is say 'wait' and 'trust me' and try to keep temptation away."
Somehow... we have lost this basic truth. Too many people are more worried about being their child’s friend, than in being a parent.
