Funniest damned thing! When I opened my Earthlink browser this morning to head for my e-mail, the first thing that confronted me on the Earthlink opening page was an ad for an on-line "college" that read, "You, too, can be a Psychiatrist! Complete the full course in three months!"

If Goofup feels he can actually bill himself as a "family counselor," I guess that could explain that!!

$280 per hour!?? Oy vey!! Rates have gone up in recent years, but these days, real psychiatrists' hourly rates for the traditional "50 minute hour" generally run from $70 to $125, depending on qualifications (BA, MA, PhD). Real family counselors generally cost considerably less for an hour session.

P. S. What's that "quack, quack, quacking" sound I hear?
