Free Therapy

Ok, just lie back and tell me all about it. I'm not really a therapist, but let me prescribe something for you. Everyone has problems or issues to deal with. Occasionally, we all need someone to talk, cry, or vent to. It appears I would be that person. Guess that's part of being a friend. When you take on the role of becoming a chum, a pal, a sidekick, amateur therapist comes along with the territory. Sadly, some folks don't have too many friends, so they rely on their hairdresser, barber, or bartender. I guess people find me approachable. Outside of my wife, I'm not sure who my free therapist is. I come home from work and unload a whole days worth circus activities performed by clowns, posing as normal people. I don't blow until she asks me though. Of course, my advice is always free to family, friends, and strangers (I think that covers everyone), but, I just hope someday when I come calling for free advice, it's without strings attached. At the time I spew forth my limited knowledge of various subjects, the advice I give seems rather sound... to me anyway. So even if I give advice that doesn't turn out so well for the patient, please keep in mind, it was free. What do you expect for free? And, I'm not licensed with a degree to treat people with mental or emotional problems. So consider the source. I WILL have a couple of beers with you though. That always seems to help me formulate 'reasonable' answers to your problems.
