Well, at least I'd be a little taller!
> I suppose it would have been more appropriate to say "odd in my experience" or "interesting" instead of the word 'crazy'. I'm too tired to think of a better fitting adjective right now, so I'll borrow yours.I didn't mean to sound picky or ridiculous. It's a pet peeve of mine. I'm still astounded, with all the information and education out there, in some groups (not here, I mean IRL - church, meetings, anywhere, really...) at hearing people describe each other (or more often a third party not there) - as "psycho" "schizo" "mental" "retarded" and of course, "crazy." And I am a big hypocrite 'cause I say it, but mostly just teasingly to my family and close friends. And of all those slang expressions, "crazy "really is the most benign. I've been known to take someone aside to try and educate them about MI when I've heard remarks like, "She is SO moody. I can't take it. Get her some Prozac, she must be a schizo!" It's wrong on so many levels..... {shaking head}
Not that that has a thing to do with the occasional use of crazy here. I guess I was a little worried Dr. Bob may read through and be in a strict frame of mind re: put downs....
