Hi Marta

I usually turn the weather channel on. The Food channel is a good one too.

These don't drive me crazy.

That's the funny thing. most things don't make me this angry. but I hate to

see another person being branded as an " addict " simply because her MOTHER

doesn't think that anyone has any intelligence other than her.

It is ignorance like that makes it more difficult for us to get the appropriate

treatment. I have been disagreeing with Dr Phil more and more. I think he has

over stepped his training with some the topics he has been doing lately.

the sad part is alot of people see a professional and take their opinion as

gospel. It is sad that people don't remember that the coin has another side.

I like to watch comedies or the court shows.

Gentle hugs, Tami

with chronic pain is being called a " drug addict " because she takes her

medication.

The mother is the one who needs help, she's OBVIOUSLY a drama queen.

> And " Dr. Phil " is just as bad.he brings in two doctors who OBVIOUSLY have an

agenda against legitimate use of narcotics to treat pain, and because THEY say

she's on " enough medication to put both of us asleep " and they " see nothing that

would cause pain " , this moronic pseudo therapist decides she's an addict.

There is a reason 'Dr. Phil' doesn't have a license to practice psychology, nuff

Excellent point Steve! But sadly I had a therapist who supposedly had done work

with chronic pain patients. He tried to discourage me from using pain

medication. He thought that I could control learn to control my thoughts to

block out the pain. Yeah right! I finally stopped trying to talk about the

pain issue with him.
