The Billboards in the States

I love the States. They are so much like Canada but in some weird way they aren't. My favourite on our trip to Dubuque, Iowa (yes, I know, why would anyone go there?) was the billboards along the highway. Like the hospital that advertised "Women's Surgery" with a magenta billboard and some kind of orchid. Very professional. I'm surprised they didn't dumb it down a bit and call it "down there surgery".

They also had billboards of happy people in Emergency Departments getting seen in a guaranteed 5 minutes.

One my favourites was one with the picture of a neurosurgeon - "The brain behind the brain". Imagine driving by a huge picture of yourself?!

The other thing that was fun was very bizarre restaurants they have there. I swear their fast food is worse then ours. I still want to try a Jack-in-the-Box burger - never been to one.

Theyre coming to take me away....

No blogs for awhile. I had funny stories from the States but most of you have heard them by now.

As part of my course work I must meet throughout the year with

a spiritual advisor
a group from the church to help me with boundaries
a mentor who is a pastor

I can continue with my therapist if I choose. Not a chance - she had a problem with confidentiality.

Anyhow, I am sick of talking about me, thinking about me and measuring "me". I know longer really know who I am but I have a whole whack of labels. Nobody has given me the coveted "Sane" label yet. I loved that on the Simpsons - they hand stamped "SANE" when releasing you..
