I'm Just Sayin...
Better Than Normal Superstars
10/28/2011 2:00:44 PM
This world is full of unsung heroes  that work behind the scenes, silently making a difference and this website has a few. Through their generosity -- and sometimes their sarcasm or in your face directness -- they provide insight into a situation or problem that is every bit as telling as my direct advice. Through words and personal stories, they bring to life the motto, "It's better to give than to receive."
 
So with that, I would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge five special ladies who regularly weigh in, reaching out to those in need with their love, thoughts and virtual hugs -- and of course the occasional well-placed scoffing and "seriously, wtf were you thinking?”

I’ve never met any of these ladies face to face but I feel like I know them through their multiple comments on my blog. They are integral to Dr.DaleArcher.com, and the success of this site would not be what it is without their input.
 
So, thank you to:
 
1)    Marcia
2)    Lola
3)    Ann
4)    Sherry Foster
5)    Littlecharmie
 
 
Keep up the great work, ladies! I appreciate your posts and efforts and I know those whose posts you comment on, do as well!
Dr. Archer

Awwww! That is so sweet of you, Dr. Archer. It's us who should be thanking you for providing an intelligent, tolerant and welcoming forum for our comments on your insightful, wise, and freely given most valuable advice. I know I learn a lot here, and it has become my favorite blog.

Dear Dr Archer, Very much thank you. I agree with Lola, Marcia and Shelley, It's me who should be thanking you for giving such valueable advice and input in mental illnesses aswell for relations and life issues. But most of all gratitude for giving back of your wisdom, time and support, <3 from Sweden

i am jealous!

Since we are already baptised Better Than Normal, we are free from the test. Right?!
And if we write often, we are doing extraordinary better than normal... Right?!
...Be jealous, grasshopper!!

No, Marcia, you have to take the test. I’m curious, aren’t you?
2/7/2012 6:16:17 PM
Although I am sure you will know what my score will be exactly...! And I know what my score will be as well....! So....Little marcia better than normal? I will take the tests! Is there a test coming up to prove if I 'can handle my own life or probably not'. I don't know the answer to that :-)
DDA

Take the mini-test on Facebook first and share it with us.
2/8/2012 7:38:35 PM
Is it because you think the 'findings' will shock me?! :-)
2/22/2012 3:41:56 PM
Finally my only dominant trait result is the 'Hyper-Alert'.
DDA
2/25/2012 2:01:49 PM
I thought that could be you, Marcia.
2/25/2012 7:14:23 PM
Is this why I change my mind like every day? Too much worry, too much thought, and so on! :-)
2/26/2012 6:57:43 PM
Hyper-alert is difficult! Yesterday I received an email from my work collaborator who prompts me to move to another country for 3 months, as an escape route from where I am now, and go back to where I was 4 years ago and re-establish myself there. He writes 'now or never' and I felt so much panic to read this, and I still feel panic. Why is it now or never? He knows I am a weak decision-maker and tries to help me do something, but the ‘now or never’ scared me.
DDA

I don't care for the now or never scenario either, Marcia. Some things take time to contemplate.
3/2/2012 7:23:59 AM
Thank you Dr. Archer! Me too, I didn't like the 'now or never' statement. And I never like it if someone doesn't allocate me the time I need, or the time to decide, and it seems he doesn't. I have suddenly become sad, from all this thinking, so if it caused me stress, it was not good advice. I know they say life is for those who dare, but I was probably never too daring. I was always daring to myself, but not outside, for actions that involve others. I have a hard time to decide, and he is waiting. So I said the truth, I can oly spare 5 days, until April. So it's either now for 5 days, or April for long-term, which is never, if it's never! No way out with this logic...

Finally, I decided to travel to a few places and try out a few things, which might or might not have a great result, but in any case it will give me the benefit to know that I have tried. So I'll have approximately 4 trips in different countries between Easter and summer! Let's see if I will have a little boy next to me on these flights, however this time I won't need him. They will all be under 4 hours flights, so I'll be ok! :-)
DDA
3/15/2012 11:06:58 PM
Wonderful! And I have all the confidence in the world that they will be splendid trips. Don't forget to have fun!
3/16/2012 8:10:44 AM
Yes, you quessed right, all my trips are for business! Never for recreation, and it was always like that! Let's see if something will change...! At my age?!
DDA
3/17/2012 1:49:29 PM
Remember, Marcia, age is just a number.
3/18/2012 10:54:38 AM
I wish I could change, even now, my character, to become less serious, but probably I can't :-)
3/20/2012 7:35:40 PM
Do you think, imposed extremity can change someone's life path? I have big plans that are no longer proportionate to my age. I wonder if I should go on about it, for as long as I feel I can, or until I get dissapointed, so to live like a machine for a while. Like studying constantly, as I did in my 20-ies, and not having a life. Back then it made a great difference, and I wasn't feeling I was missing anything. (Now I know I was, but it doesn't matter, what I gained is more than what I missed). Just I don't know if human body and brain is capable to continue learning at the rates we had in our 20-ies. Am I silly with my questions...? :-)
DDA
3/26/2012 4:46:40 PM
No, not silly at all..... entertaining!
3/27/2012 6:53:05 AM
This remind sme of one of my teachers! When I was bombarding him with 'my problems' he was laughing and said 'you amuse me, you know?'. But I am serious...! I live in Seirios... :-)
3/27/2012 7:22:15 AM
While the most entertaing, is to keep saying yes, when I mean no! One can go really far with this attitude, right? ;-)
4/5/2012 1:28:46 PM
i decided that human brain and body IS capable to learn at the rates we had in our 20ies. Because my life is full of hope if I believe that, so i will! With this logic I can be 20 again. Sorted! :-)

I had such a stressful experience again. Now I remember why I was avoiding coming back to my home country for 16 years. My agent was right that I need to leave to preserve my self esteem.. My work published a list of a new project and they placed me 2nd. When I saw it, I wanted to die than take part as number 2. I made enquiries to my boss as to why am I not first. He said he thinks I am 1st as I always was, but he will check why the paper says different. He will let me know in 2 days. That means I cant sleep for 2 days. I prepare for the worst. If I find out I am 2nd, do I stay like a good soldier, do I make a complaint and quit, or what. I need a peaceful professional environment and I can never have it here. Is it too bad to want to get what I deserve and what I struggled for? Am I an arrogant person?
DDA

We all can't be number 1 all the time, but you must do what's right for you. No matter what happens, Marcia, you're always #1 in our book.
5/8/2012 7:30:31 PM
Oh thank you so much dr. Archer.. :-) I had really rough times. They really put me 2nd in one project. So I told them if they dont respect me, I am leaving and I prefer to tear the contract. They called 2 hours later to say, I am first as always. But I was really ready to leave, if they wouldnt fix it.
