Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for September 29, 2020

Is that window shopping or window dressing?

I charge relatives even less!!!! ;) Mostly… I want a Hug when this Blasted Pandemic is over!!!

The chepaer is always Lucy Van Pelt : she treat you for only 5 Cents .

Great! Now we can go cuckoo on the cheap

The free market in action.

I hear that Trump is trying to work out a deal to get a cut of every fee. After all, he claimed he is responsible for all their added clients! And, no he won’t be paying taxes on that either!

Yeah, but he doesn’t wear a mask so you can see that devious grin…

Bargain Basement Head Shrinking.

Bitterly ironic. The numbers of people who feel depressed are rising every day. It can be seen and heard in the kinds of things that are discussed when neighbors chat from across their yards while wearing masks. Not a normal lifestyle for the social animal in each of us. It wears on the spirit.

Supply and demand suggests the opposite. There are more people wanting to consult a therapist these days (and you’re going to do it over the phone or Zoom™ ‘cause they aren’t seeing anyone in person). Demand goes up, supply remains the same. Most of them are booked solid. More like the ads on the internet will be, “I can get you a session in as little as four months!”

It would still be a waste even at $7.25 per hour.

Politics aside, I wonder why the pictures are blank?

My therapist is working 6 days / week trying to keep up with all the people who need help. All the other therapists in town are booked solid as well.

I haven’t really looked, but I don’t think I have ever seen a psychiatrist advertise. Shouldn’t they?

Poppycock and balderdash.

I had a therapist once. He told me I was crazy. I never went back. People tell me that all the time for free.

You know, I agree with all of you, and am married to a psychotherapist… but one of the reasons I read these faithfully is to get away from the clowns that currently lead us. As much as we can, and it’s hard: no politics here?

And yes, I just noticed I did the same political comment thing. Sorry! Sigh.

A true psychiatrist would not say, “Why do you ask?” but rather “How do you feel about that?”

The “gig economy”. Zoom psychotherapy…

most excellent

$750.00…?

How do I get a sweet tax deal like that?
