Hey Flab, i think we all need your expertise!!!
Why do we do this by choice...... dig rat walls,evict snakes,chase butcherbirds and turn most gadgets into "finch furniture"
I currently have loooong weekends every week and i can thoroughly recommend them

Work only 20 hours per week for a communications group

at present which should leave lots of time for chores.....
All i need now is to work out how to get half-bills to match half-income

Need to breed more birds

As they say. One in three people has a mental illness. Look at your 2 best friends. If it's not them it;s you.
Have a daugter who when told she should be a shrink said "No, they would come in tell me their problems, I would say what is your problem? I am more nuts than you! Go home and get over yourself."

Yes and if you look at the profession, in some cases the odds are even higher!!!!
but then it can give the professionals a better understanding of what their clients are going through (if they are not damaged beyond repair that is!

)

CC - missed your post. you can look at it as obsession, addiction, or total and utter insanity!

Given I am a psych and a finchie, I haven't got a hope!
