[color:"red"] RETAIL THERAPY [/color]
Retail therapy is shopping with the primary purpose of improving the buyer's mood or disposition.
Often seen in people during periods of depression or transition, it is normally a short-lived habit.
Items purchased during periods of retail therapy are sometimes referred to as "comfort buys."

[color:"red"] NURSE RATCHET [/color]
Nurse Mildred Ratched is the head administrative nurse at the fictional Salem, Oregon State Mental Hospital, where she exercises near-absolute power over the patients' access to medications, privileges, and basic necessities such as food and toiletries. She capriciously revokes these privileges whenever a patient displeases her. Her superiors turn a blind eye because she maintains order, keeping the patients from acting out (either through antipsychotic and anticonvulsant drugs or her own brand of "therapy", which consists mostly of humiliating patients into doing her bidding).

Mimi, there is a shopping theme.....I was venting.
Why do they put caffeine in a medication for something which is often helped by the elimination of caffeine?

That's why I don't buy the stuff. Doc tells you to avoid it and they try to sell it to you. Get the kind w/out the caffeine.
Oh, I'm on strike. Told the children I wasn't cooking for them until the dishes were all washed. I'm gonna go rustle me up some food but none for them.

I think sometimes about all the pain in the world. I hope we can ease that here, even if only a little bit.
