who needs counselling?

[palerider]

The best therapy is to ride your FJR to and from the golf course. Those who don't get golf have probably never broken 80....

Nah. I get golf. Sometimes I get the flu also.

I love my FJR-counselor-...and I don't even live in the center of great roads like Lewisburg, WV.

Enjoy those roads man...

...and thanks for doing that dirty work...so the animals can be locked up. I -for one- appreciate the work you do to protect society.

Thanks lawdog...and all other policeman on this board.

My hat's off to you, LD! My best friend works for Oregon's CPS, and I've seen the toll that job has taken on him. 2 of my other friends are also cops, and I know what a tough job you have, and I appreciate your willingness to do it! You guys really do not get paid enough, neither in cash nor respect. Hope you have another couple hundred K left on your new bike!

Good observations on your part, Lawdog. As a pastor, I have to deal with the gamut of human experience. The bike is definitely God's gift to me for dealing with the stresses of the job.

As for your golf buddy, I used to work as a chaplain & bereavement coordinator for our local hospice and home health. It took over 7 years for the home health nurses to quit asking me when I was going to give up the "donor-cycle." I simply told them that I enjoyed riding and when it was my time to go, I was ready. It was a blessing from God to ride and, like any other gift could be abused. However, when good skill and wisdom was applied, it was one of the most enjoyable and safest sports around.

Thank you for your service as a police office in what has to be one of the most heart-wrenching fields there is.

Playing golf is like riding a Harley, you are just following the crowd.

My wife did CPS as a social worker for a lot of years. Very trying on the soul, especially when the babies are involved. She's been out of it since we started (and finished) having kids. Don't know how you can do it for any length of time. They couldn't pay me enough to do that job (and they don't pay social workers anywhere near enough).

You'd better believe it. At least once a month, I see one or more children who are the victims of 'Non-accidental-trauma'. It's hard to believe that a grown adult could deliberately hurt an infant, as young as a few weeks of age, but they do.

Some sights need a longer ride on the FJR to deal with, than others. I sometimes wonder how non-riders cope with the bad stuff.

(And I have tremendous respect for the good that social workers do, despite underfunding and understaffing).
