DSM-V
Bipolar disorder is one of my biggest pet peeves. Or rather, the inappropriate diagnosis thereof. I'm a therapist and my identified client population are kids ages 7-17.

Law of Cooking #7

Laws of Cooking
People on facebook seem to be enjoying these, so I figured I'd add them here, even though no one is reading this journal because it's friends locked and I have no friends!

"Loose" with two o's is an adjective. An adjective is used to describe a noun. It is not a verb. You cannot "loose" something. However, you can "loosen" something.
