Hey hey and hello once again listeners! Breanna Kompelien and I did dive deep into the journey that I have been on or into the diagnostic and the wellness and the therapeutic or mental health or neurdivergent health treatment experiences that I have had, and wow now and howdy did we wind up coving a whole, whole lot! Wow! Wow! Hahaha! Wow!

Hey! Tara Lenertz did let me know that she did have some time that she could make during her very, very busy, busy schedule to sit and to converse and have an extended chitchat about feature films or about motion pictures that she and that I have seen or do know about that are set or that have been been set in mental health or mental healthcare or certain or specific treatment facilities or clinics, or sanitariums! Here we do talk about so, so, so many films or movies that it is almost difficult to list all of them within one breath, or during one go of listing them! Hahaha! Do check out this extended chitchat and really, really illuminating and rich, rich and detailed discussion today! https://english.okstate.edu/ (Music by Karl Casey @ White Bat Audio!)

Hey hey! John Hallberg did permit me to have a chat with him about what he had found in the NDSU Archives in Fargo concerning the history of mental healthcare in the FM area! Oh my gosh John had found out so, so much about what sanitariums or what hospitals they were that had been here in town, such as the Stone Sanitarium and Hospital and the Fargo Sanitarium, and the Keeley Institute! I do mean, he did find ads and he did find brochures, and he did find articles and testimonials and photographs and so, so, so much more! Goodness! My goodness! What a mother lode it was that he did strike or uncover there at the archives! Really, Really! He did! He did! https://library.ndsu.edu/ndsuarchives/ (Music by Karl Casey @ White Bat Audio!)

Together she and I, as well as her daughter Heather and her granddaughter Jerakhi did discuss the history of mental healthcare in Fargo-Moorhead! We did talk about the community or about the communities that did develop or that did spring up or grow, or rise up around and surround the Red River here in town, and about the attitudes and about the approaches or the methods and tools associated with mental health treatment and compassion and well-being! Golly! Golly! A lot sure has changed since the turn of the century hasn't it! A whole lot sure has changed! https://www.lmhc.org/ (Music by Karl Casey @ White Bat Audio!)

Hey! Abstract artist and local arts and entertainment supporter and benefactor Marjorie Schlossman did welcome me into her home, and the two of us did have a discussion about the beauty and about the difficulty of explaining abstract or explaining nonrepresentational or nonreal art to people who do not render that type or do not render or make that kind of art or fine art, or who do not have any experience or any familiarity with that form or with that discipline or practice of painting or drawing or expressing oneself!
