BARREL OF MONKEYS: "GENESIS" in Reverse


I consider myself a Democrat. Been called a Socialist. Definitely a bleeding heart liberal.


As a child from a traditional southern family, playing Barrel of Monkeys on the floor, church every Sunday, doing well in public school, learning a trade; in every sense privileged .........


Comfortable in middle age, an avid news reader, on learning the tragic story of a full grown chimpanzee destroying the face of a woman who offered a toy, only trying to help it's owner coax her surrogate child back into his cage......

Delivering Bad News: A Crucial Conversation | MyEVT

Delivering Bad News: A Crucial Conversation MyEVT: "Bad news is defined as any news that drastically and negatively alters a person’s views of the future.1 Clients interpret bad news on an individual basis; their response depends on their relationship with their pets, past experiences, other life stressors, and support systems they have in place. Some clients react to bad news with anger or blame, overwhelming feelings of guilt, shock, disbelief, or sadness, while others may appear calm, stoic, or under control."
