Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

Yes. I was glad to find this a few years ago. The style is a little off-putting, but I wish I had known these things when I was 20.

Dr. Joy Bliss is getting lazy. Just posting a book title doesn't mean much. What's in the book? How does it compare with other forms of psychology?

By all means, re-write the book in a comment so that those too lazy to look at the book link don't have to do anything. You should pander to the whims of douchebags or be labelled lazy. Sheesh! Where do these people come from?

The need to read the book.

I agree with Tim, and Ron has just outed himself as the 2020 laziest person on the planet award. Here you go Ron, if you can find the energy to enter this URL into your search engine. https://fxckfeelings.com/
I have been reading the good doctor's blog for years and he and I align perfectly I am tempted to buy the book and send it to my ex wife to relish the thought of veins bursting out of her forehead.
The Oxford comma is indeed useful.
