Dad still won’t stop touching his nipples and he keeps asking about things to put on them to make them feel better even though we’ve told him the reason they’re achy and swollen and red is because he won’t stop touching.

Last night he texted: Can I put Vicks Vaporub on them?

I turned to my mom and said “How about ketchup? It’s about as reasonable as Vicks so let’s suggest ketchup.”

She cracked up and was like “If you don’t stop I’m gonna text this conversation to my best friend.”

I said “In that case, add some relish.”

Her friend laughed so hard her husband couldn’t even understand what she was saying as she tried to tell him why she was laughing so hard.

It’s probably not normal for a psych doc and a patient to have a close relationship, but being able to vent to each other and amuse each other with stupid work/family crap until we’re both laughing so hard we’re crying is therapy for us both.

Her work is more insane than her family but only by a tiny bit.
My family is more insane than my work but only by a tiny bit.

PDoc actually hurt her throat laughing so hard after I told her about Dominic and the stupid shit he’s been pulling on me for months now with the cell phone service and how he cost me $2000 and himself $800 and screwed up our accounts and IS STILL DOING IT.

Charlie finally called me this morning because he was like okay I’m stepping in with the cell phone thing because Marissa is done and it sounds like you’re done.

Hopefully now that I’ve explained everything to him Charlie will be able to get it worked out.

Let him deal with
1) Dominic/Marissa’s Son = unmedicated ADHD
2) Lilly/Dominic’s wife = an alcoholic
3) Meagan/Marissa’s daughter = alcoholic living in the house with Dominic and Lilly

I’ll deal with suggesting my dad put ketchup on his nipples and try to stop him from buying the next crackpot thing he found that “cures” ringworm (it’s essential oils, some of which he’s allergic to, for only $49.95 per tube!).

Anybody Have Tmobile?

My family has been with Verizon for over 20 years. Other services we tried before that sucked SO BAAAAAD.

But Verizon is expensive and it’s hard to get a hold of them, change things, and deal with anything.

Tmobile looks like it has great prices (and I know they’re bigger now that they swallowed Sprint), they’re giving out incentives for switching from Verizon, and I’d like to switch my family, but I have a big family with a lot of devices we use for work, and it’s a big deal.

I’d hate to switch us all only to realize the service sucks.

Are Tmobile prices too good to be true?

My PDoc LOVES them, but she isn’t tech smart and I think she burned her bridges with other providers. She’s been raving about them, but I dunno.

Anybody else have them and love them? Hate them?

I’m considering ditching Cox as well and switching to Tmobile’s internet. All in all it looks like we’d be saving... way more than I care to admit a month, but it’s not worth it if nothing works.

Help?
