I continue doing my classes at BOC which is one of the few constants I have going in my hum drum world,,,the classes are very engaging and the participants really get to share there version of the world as relates to the presented topics,,, today we talked about catching signals of people particularly teens and young people who are slipping and falling into some serious mental health issues and what to do,,,being the observer,,,
It was a very good session,,,which to me says even though I am only volunteering at doing this ,,,I haven't lost the spark and ability and I am still very good and can conduct groups that are meaningful and relevant.
On another topic,,,seems that the extended unemployment benefit is all tied into the resolution to the fiscal cliff negotiations,,and that doesn't seem to be going anywhere,,this whole thing has degenerated into a game of chicken on a national stage,,It is most likely nothing will happen till Dec 31st which falls on a Monday..if anything at all comes out of this ,,,the new wrinkle which I have heard tonight is that Obamacare has now been drawn into the debate with it's associated funding requirements,,,which has nothing at all to do with the issues present,,,but seems to be another attempt to torpedo the new healthcare law which is already a done deal,,
