My Seven General Rules on Handling Mentally Ill People

 1.  Once you've crossed the line and realize the idiot in front of you is mentally ill.....briefly assess if you should stick around or claim you have an appointment for a haircut.  This assessment should take into account: (a) if they are a relative....because you kinda have to stick by them, (b) if they are dangerous, (c) if this is bad-off mentally ill, and (d) how much time you really want to devote toward the situation.

2.  Always try to suggest there's help somewhere for the guy/gal.  

3.  Let them talk about the issue as much as they want, but reassure them that you just aren't accepting of this condition being 'normal'.

4.  Let them know in a nice way....you got time to hear them, but at the 20-minute point, they need to wrap up their confession, and get ready to hear your advice.

5.  Sometimes, all the mentally ill person needs is a 20-minute session of listening, and probably a a cigarette or beer.  

6.  Always be polite, but try to avoid statements like 'you sound crazy'. 

7.  If they are already under treatment by some doctor.....don't go suggesting different treatment.

Five Observations

 1. I watch a podcast occasionally from 'Whatever'.  It's basically a guy who has five to seven young ladies on, and asks questions....where you discover that the young ladies (college folks) are demonstrating they aren't that bright or mature.  

For some reason, I see this as entertainment.  

Could they do better with 'smarter' women?  Maybe, but I think that only makes up 4-percent of all young females.  

2.  MAGADONIANS is apparently some kind of word.....'Make-America-Great-Again-Donians.  

3.  Someone has put up 10,000 photos gleaned off Hunter Biden's laptop.  The guy sure did take a lot of pictures of himself.

4.  I noticed the mention this week of Latino 'White-Supremacy'.  Whatever idiot dreamed this up....probably hasn't hung around Hispanics much.

5.  I suspect the insider crew who runs the White House....went into a massive 'worry' episode upon seeing Biden fall at the podium.  In a matter of seconds, they were thinking Harris would take over, and fire all of these folks.
