Charlee Sheen and Back A'Cha

It's impossible not to follow what's going on with Charlie Sheen.  He's talking a lot, to anyone who will listen.  A patient asked me to please blog about it, but I have to tell you.  I just don't have time.  Not right now.  And as luck would have it, a colleague did the job for me, and I trust Dr. Deb's assessment.  We don't need to reinvent the wheel.

All I might add is that if Mr. Sheen is sober for the first time, then yes, a manic episode might indeed follow, if  this is what is wrong, if he has Bi-polar Disorder.  Some people are uni-polar, you know, and this tends to refer to depression, but I have met a few unipolar manics in my life.  Not knowing his history, I can't say what Charlie has, not for sure, but what Dr. Deb says about mania is spot on.

Just because I have no time to write, doesn't mean you should suffer.  So here's an old fashioned Back A'Cha, links to people who link to me.  Or just to people I like.  If I left you out, email me.  Please.  You know I hate it when anyone's mad at me.

July Back 'Acha

Your monthly recap of bloggers who linked over here, t'anks. If I forgot you, or didn't see your link, let me know and I'll catch your act at the end of August.

And the winner is. . .drum roll, please Shadchan Shadchan (Matchmaker), a must if you're in the mood for a good anecdote.

How about a new family therapy blogger? We need as many as we can get. Family thinking.

And if you just love corn, Amazing Love Stories. You can post your own, I think.

Isle Dance is putting up love videos. Islands, love. Sheesh.

Or stories from the field, the mental health field, I mean, Trench Warfare.

On the same turf is AntiSocial Social Worker who suggests,

every single person voted into office should have to spend AT LEAST a month working at a minimum wage job and living solely off their income

Honey, no one would go into politics, and you know it.

Blue Jean Social Worker won't dress up the part. Love it, BJ.

Nashbabe's world can be grueling, too, but she gets by with a little help from her friends.

Another personal blogger, Shea, can't complain about her guy. So boring, S., no complaining? Well, not today.

The Rebbetzin's Husband likes his denial. To which I say, We never take away the umbrella until it stops raining. He'll also link you to a place that rates your blog for objectionable content. We rate, peeps, over here, very objectionable, thank you, for using words like rape. Sigh. Rape, rape, rape, sex, sex, sex. Just driving up my ratings.

And just in case you've ever been just a little jealous of people who have hot tubs? Read day by glorious day on the jacuzzi. Or should that be, in the jacuzzi.

Talk about personal. If you've ever wanted to nurse a baby you'll have to deal with people staring while feeding (assuming you don't live in a cave), check this blogger.

On media we have A Record. Erin talks books and music, the finer things in life.

And over there in Highland Park, NJ, you can learn how a real photographer works her art.

Jack hosted a carnival . More Jewish, political/Israel stuff. Do we get tiresome? Do we run the media? Anyone see that one on Law and Order? Jack's great as a carnival host. Jack. You must see Cirque.

Chaos Theory says that my post on the matchmaking system makes a person want to drink heavily. I havet to tell you that for a Jew, drinking heavily means more than one shot, one beer, or one glass of wine.

For a more sobering look on life, read my old friend Marcella, who says that what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. She's talking about abuse, rape, stuff people don't want to hear about but should (her rating must be awesome for objectionable). Speaking of which, did anyone read that CNN story about the rapes of Muslims in Bosnia? How do people live with themselves?

Consent of the Governed has all kinds of links, but if you liked being a boy scouts or a girl scout (even if you hated it) you'll love the way Consent organizes them.

Oh, You're a Feminist tells us how to put our blab into action. And here you thought you could just blab, but no.

Crackers and Juice Boxes (remember those?) is in recovery from child abuse. It takes time, but there is no end in sight when you start with juice boxes. Pretty soon it's Slurpies, and Dairy Star, all kinds of recovery coping strategies. Great blog, CJB.

CoffeeYogurt likes a guy in a cowboy hat. Mmmmm

A Room of Mama's Own fills us in on autism, parenting, sex addiction, and lots more.

MoriTherapy is always worth a look, a good critical eye, forever looking around for campy intellectual stuff.

And for FOOD, it's gotta' be IlanaDavita.

Don't forget:
Dr. Sanity (whaddaya think?)

NadNedNadNed (you have to read her to see what she means)

Okay. Back to work. I'm running late because of you. Joking, joking. Here are just a couple more then it's heet (see ya') for back 'acha til next month.

Carnivals, Links and Posts, Oh My

Of course, we're gearing up for the next Carnival of All Substances. Thanks to all of you who have submitted stories.

One of the things I've done over the past year is hyper-link over to various carnivals that have featured my blog. A hyper-link is a link on a sidebar to another blog. On my sidebar you find links to blogs I just happen to like and to other bloggers who have requested links, and to bloggers who have linked to me.

Sometimes I'll link over to another blogger in a post and probably should do that more often.

So let's start right now. (I especially like the first):

A Singer's Life

Purple Mote

BabyLune

Daled Amos

Emotional Eating

Carnival of Hijacked Holidays

Anja Merret

Super Mommies

Adult ADD and Money

Outdoor Odyssey

Curiosity Killer

All Things Medical

The Tall Poppy
