I think harder than that about whether or not to toss a sweater.

This shrink sounds like a megalomaniac if s/he thinks this amount of insight can be gleaned from 3 hours' worth of conversation.

My MIL has a hawk that visits her
bird feeder, and it's a normal Cooper's hawk. They are famous for this activity. But I think the one I get might be a red tail. At my MIL's he seems to be after doves, but my hawk seems to come when babies are on the ground - usual the red thrasher babies. I have seen this hawk sitting up on a branch of my oak tree, looking down. I know to look for him when there isn't a bird in sight around my feeders. I agree, dense bushes, preferably evergreen and ones that get berries the birds like are ideal companions to bird feeders.

doctor visits

Do you find that you question your doctor for every little thing? I do and my poor doc gets very frustrated with me.

I recently took my 17-year-old for his sports physical. Every year, we have been in and out, no problem. This year, he says son needs an EKG, that it is required for sports physicals now. (I know that's not true). He says he needs a meningitis vaccine to get into college (don't know about that one).

At my last visit, out of the blue he said I needed a sleep study because I looked tired. Of course, I'm tired. Working all the time, going through menopause, kids to raise, husband who kicks all night long in bed. I told him I would not have a sleep study and he got mad.

I had a friend tell me once that the way the docs at this certain practice (there are about 300 docs in this practice) get their raises is dependent upon how many of their patients actually follow through and get tests done that are ordered (the practice is associated with the hospital). Has anyone else heard of this? Since then I doubt everything the poor guy says.

no tx just 9-month visits to eye specialist...sm
Told me to keep tight control of the sugar and to be seen q.9 months at this special eye institute....seems to have gotten better too over 2 years....hope your goes away soon....

some of these states make home visits
monthly to monitor, speaking with the children in private, so ya, it could happen. Educate yourself on the laws of your state and then give yourself a break.

My deceased husband visits in dreams and
I am remarried, to one of his best friends.

I personally would stop coming home for visits.
