This Just In!

By Bill Craig
Didn't have to be admitted to psych/rehab center, since I'm not gonna kill myself and am not abusing any substances.

So what we're gonna do instead is have me go for intensive cognitive behavior therapy on an out-patient basis from 9-3 beginning next week.

Admittedly, I don't know what it all entails, but I am envisioning a black latex clad nurse with a swastika armband striking me repeatedly with a whip, and yelling:

Nurse: "Das ist ein Vipp!

Now (slap) was ist dass???"

Bill: "Ein Vipp, Ein Vipp!"

Nurse: "Ist das not ein gooter Vipp?"

Bill: "Ja das ist ein gooter Vipp!"

Nurse: "Vipp-Vipp-Vipp"?

Bill: "Ach ja! Vipp-Vipp-Vipp!"

I wonder if her name will be (Nurse) "Diesel" or "Ratched"?

*Sigh*

One can only hope!

Heh-Heh!

Now my next job will be to get all the Hustler and Playboy mags secretly hidden under the liner of my gym bag back to their hiding place before D sees 'em!

So since the tone seems to be "whips", here's one that was recorded in Germany sometime in the 70's.

Sounds like you're going to partial hospitalization. I hope it's a good one, it can make a huge difference. Watch out for the crazies, especially Nurse Ratched.

Last spring I did the outpatient CBT thing. Got a lot out of it - even kind of lusted after one of the therapists for a while. But you how this ADHD works; after I hadn't seen her for a few weeks the thrill had gone away......

Hey

Thanks to both of you for the comments! I'm really kinda looking forward to the CBT, but not for the reason Larry mentioned. Heh-Heh!

Gonna do some checking on the web about it!

Thanks

Ah shucks Beth, come on tell us your definition of CBT. Ain't nobody here but us.

Perhaps, Committee on Bible Training, Citizens Bank and Trust, Computer Based Training.

Oh no, naughty you. Did you mean this one?

Maybe this is what our Bill is thinking about. "Vipp-Vipp-Vipp"?

OMG, Becks, you're as much a nut as I am! HAHAHAHAHA!

I especially loved the quote at the bottom of that first definition!

Darlin', if it weren't for you and your tiny url's, my days would be bleak ones indeed.

D's downstairs watching the Braves game with her sister, but I cannot wait to show her this one.

And don't worry, D isn't easily offended and shares a good belly laugh with me from time to time.

Re: Belly laughs. Dontcha just love those???? The kind of laugh that has you staggering all over the room, falling down on the sofa and grabbing your tummy, and after it's over, you go *WHEW!*, and then you think about whatever it was some more, and it starts all over again, only not as severe? THAT kind of laugh?

Whoopsie, I think your friend the English major just wrote a "run-on sentence"!

All the best to you and your DEB.

Bethie,

Although I have problems with my memory, THAT episode is firmly fixed in my mind, Honey.

Glad you found that sock! HAHA!

Yeah those belly laughs that make you go, oops, I think I just peed myself a little. Love um.

What, the german boy don't like watching sports? Yeah, me neither. Was shoved down my throat by my ex. So much so, that when I hear it on TV, it's like scratching nails on a chalk board for me. Used to love it with my older brothers growin up, but not anymore.

I new it Beth, just another inner naughty girl bursting to get out and express it, in the right forum of course. You're safe here, uummmm!!!

Glad my silly stuff makes you laugh and smile DAB. Hope my mind can keep on being creative.

Love y'all, Becks and DEB

Becks,

The "German Boy's" three favorite sports:

1. Soccer (are you surprised?)
2. Fencing (did it in college)
3. Cycling (love to do it and watch Tour De France!

I was never much good at the "American" contact sports: football, basketball - I don't know - would you call fencing a "contact sport"?.

We're you saying "y'all" before you got to know ME? ;)

Thanks!

Love D & DAB

Thanks, Suzette!

My friend and dementia counsellor Suzette recently wrote a very informative (and flattering) article about the "German Boy" and his upcoming bike ride, and you may see it by clicking the title of this entry. I am very appreciative of her and the GA chapter of the Alzheimer's Association for supporting me, and my ride is dedicated to them, Alzheimer patients and their caregivers as well as the four-footers. Incidentally, D and I were finally able to attend this month's Forget Me Not luncheon (for Alzheimer's patients and their care givers) at South of La Paz Mexican restaurant in Atlanta and I'd like to thank my friend for making this possible. Really , Suzette's so sweet she makes ya wanna roll over and do all kinds of doggy tricks for her! I kid, of course, but I don't think I have ever met a more charismatic person in my life. It was also a pleasure to meet and converse with Kathy Simpson who also works with the Georgia chapter. Kathy and I have e-m

Skipping Ahead A Bit In The Memoirs

By Bill Craig

This is part of something I wrote on another message board with some editing, okay? -------------------------------------------------------------------------- My very good friend on the Dope, Oakminster , brought this to mind when he shared this in a thread of mine called "Your Favorite Commercials". Okay, I have already mentioned that my American soldier Dad brought me and my German Mom and brother to the US in 1960. At that time, I still spoke with a very heavy German accent and did my best to try to fit in. One of the ways was to "go out" for "Midget Football" and it was my first encounter with who would prove to be an inspiration to me and I am sure many others: Coach Roger Sauls who passed away last year. Coach was very patient with me, teaching me the "ins and outs" of throwing and kicking that strange looking egg-shaped ball! In those days, a lot of little boys went out for it and we all had our heroes on the Villa Rica Wildcats Varsity t

Alzheimer's Advocacy Forum 2011

I have been given a great opportunity and honor from my local Alzheimer's Association and my counsellors Suzette and Kathy, and I wanted to tell y'all about it. It is a chance to be granted a scholarship to attend the Public Policy Forum/Advocacy Action Summit which will be May 15-17 2011 in Washington, DC. It will be a time to become educated about the issues, learn new skills, network with fellow advocates and take our message directly to members of Congress to fight for our legislative agenda and I am honored to have been chosen to have my name submitted for this event. If I am chosen to receive the scholarship, I plan not only to participate in all of the above events, but to serve as a "reporter" and write about what I see and experience there. This will also allow me to put to use my journalistic skills which have been "moth-balled" of late. Quoting from Karen Kauffman's* article, 2010 was a year of optimism for those of us in Alzheimer's Advo
