Amanda the Great by Amanda El-Dweek for April 12, 2024

It’s lie.

I know that feeling.

Knowing that the Chinese place nearby adapted helped us a lot.

Probably a good time to take up the trombone. A good challenge would likely do it.

Squinting to read Amanda’s shirt, I made it out as, “I only make pub runs.” Then I super enlarged the comic and found out what it really says…

Now is not the time for a grammar lesson, but for listening. Dan‘s good to do that! So I’ll refrain; but I know the difference.

The word multiple choice made me smile, despite the subject

3rd panel = my life.

I hope you are feeling better. Depression really sucks.

Dan is good at listening and trying to help! All I need is a bunch of sunny days. We are going to have two sunny-cloudy days and then cold, rainy, possibly snow and below freezing at night! My mood if greatly improved with sunshine!!

Third panel=I’ll let Merriam-Webster be the judge: “Lay means ‘to place something down flat,’ while lie means ‘to be in a flat position on a surface.’”

My high school journalism teacher said, “It takes one to lie, two to lay.”

Lucky SSRIs will do it for you, Amanda. Have family members who can’t take them, some sort of genetic enzyme anomaly. A little unsure of “head drugs” but fortunately have found workarounds so far in my life, though I would not rule it out. Have come across some good people, some skilled, some ordinary, who have helped me.

Your comic already has a robust cast of characters for Internal Family Systems therapy. Or, it sounds like Dan is taking the bio-psycho-social approach (my personal best take).

The doctor prescribes a trip Dairy Queen. Repeat as necessary.
