Fab tagged me with this thing and he called it Crazy 8s. I’m not really copying him, but I couldn’t think of anything else to call it and I thought it was appropriate since I am crazy.

If you talk to any of them, will you let them know I tagged them?
I will just say this quick about my mental health issues…I cannot get in to be seen by my therapist until 3/19. Not kidding. I am sure there are ways I could be seen earlier, but I am not willing to lie. I see my regular doctor this afternoon.
I’ve got some drugs. Watcha need?
Mr. Fabulous’s last blog post..Try to have fun wherever you can?
I’ll be doing this in the next few days… if I can come up with any answers.
Hang in there — maybe your meds just need adjusting.
Finn’s last blog post..In The Dark And Light
Fab–Drugs? What do I need drugs for? My craziness you mean? I think I qualify to be an amateur pharmacy.
Finn–It was really hard, especially considering my current mood.
Having political candidates do a meme – that’s brilliant!
Miss Britt’s last blog post..What Would Dorothy Do
Oooh, another person who likes Anna Nalick. I absolutely love her :).
Hilly’s last blog post..Today I Rest On My Laurels While Eating Pink Cupcakes…
Nickelback!? I LOVE Nickeback too, good taste!
Well its ridiculous they cant see you for 3 weeks!
I wonder if any of the candidates are running blogs this year? It’d be fun to find the blogs and tag them…
Does anyone know if any of them do?
PandoraWilde’s last blog post..Around the Net: Taking Pot to School
oh I liked these……………especially whom you tagged.
I might play.
the speckledpup’s last blog post..Dear Lard………
Britt–I know! Wouldn’t it be fun if they actually did it? If they actually had blogs where they could do it?
Hilly–Me, too. I turned Fab on to her. And Libragirl. (Not sure if you know her or not.)
Teutonia–They are pretty awesome!
Mel–That’s just the therapist. Now my regular doctor wants me to see a psychiatrist to manage my meds. It will take up to 6 months to get in to see one of those. There is a high demand for them here. Maybe because of the weather or something. There just aren’t enough therapists and psychiatrists here for the need.
Pand0ra–I am going to research it tomorrow. That would be totally awesome. Of course not Osama. That would just be creepy and might get me in a freakin’ lot of trouble.
Pup–Cool! I’ll check it out.
I am with you on seeing my children grown, health and happy! As much as I want them to stay little, I know that growing up is inevitable–So I hope I am there to see it.
