and one more thing, dear gawd, it's going to be 102 this weekend.

<------ heat stroke face

on a serious note.............Sillies, I don't think my Effexor is working at all. wondering if I should switch.......but you know something? I loathe the idea of going to dr. to ask for something else, admitting defeat, thereby admitting that the gluten-free diet is NOT the complete cure for depression, as I have declared it is.....

but my thoughts and brain are so awful and dark, and I feel completely hollowed-out and dull beyond belief.

GAH!!! Jess has a scare-vatar!!!!

Hey!! Is this guy a client??

Jack's next query is most interesting: He wants to know who the most interesting character is when you google your own name.

((Oops I overdid it!!))

LOL googling my entire full name (incl full middle name) comes up w/someone known for Cyborg Ontology!! (wth does that MEAN?????)

Others are a Flight Instructor, a videographer, a Hawaiian real estate agent, and a Nova Scotian born in 1883!!!!

My plain old first&last name is just too common.

As a kid, a local (Chicago) popular Top40 AM radio DJ had my name, AND a pitcher for the California Angels, AND the mayor of Pittsburgh, AND the chairman of General Motors.

Whoa!!! My name has 22 separate wikipedia entries!!

Yikes!!! There's a Tony Award -winning actor, an Australian rules footballer, alleged IRA Army Council Chief of Staff, Irish playwright, Australian playwright, Former House Speaker in Georgia, Irish recipient of the Victoria Cross, American lawyer/prosecutor/federal judge, a Canadian politician, American archbishop, a U.S. Postmaster in New Hampshire whose alertness just might have saved the life of the new U.S. President-Elect, John F. Kennedy(!! ), President University College Dublin, a mixed martial arts fighter, Civil War soldier and Medal of Honor recipient!!! (Oooooh he's my favoUrite!)

Methinks I should've stopped w/ Cyborg guy. :lol:

[Darn210]

Tom, perhaps I can borrow a few of yours . . .

I googled my current name and the most famous Janet to pop up was . . . me . . . and all it had listed was that I was serving on the PTO general board. OK, another Janet popped up and she was an administrative assistant . . . Hmmmmm, kind of a toss up to say who's got a more exciting life.

I google my maiden name and the best I could come up with was a horse rancher.

[tom]

and one more thing, dear gawd, it's going to be 102 this weekend.

<------ heat stroke face

I'm still in the I'll believe it when I see it camp, but they're claiming SJ will break records w/ 97 today & 100+ thu/fri, w/ weird wind patterns making the south bay the hotspot.

But . .. .at noon it's only 76.

*DO* they really know wth they're talking about?

I don't think I've seen 100 EVER in SJ & expected to not use AC all summer, but screw THAT if it's really 103!!!!

on a serious note.............Sillies, I don't think my Effexor is working at all.

Awww damn

wondering if I should switch.......but you know something? I loathe the idea of going to dr. to ask for something else, admitting defeat, thereby revealing to them that the gluten-free diet is NOT the complete cure for depression, as declared it was.....

1) If he/she treated you pre-gluten-free, they MUST know the tremendous help the diet's been. Hmmmm (or should I say duh) I suppose it's a different doc.

2) Isn't it possible for barley's gluten to have different effects than wheat?

I think I've seen others say so.

Then again, maybe questioning the effexor effectiveness predates the barley.

But you did say you haven't been as careful in general lately. Hmmmm

Welsh spelling!!!! :lol: that IS phuuuuuuuuuuny!!!!

[blueeyedmanda]

OMG--I just got lame-advertisement'ed!!!!

Busted!!! :)

Well I got the new patients finished but the other piles are still growing....ugh!

yeah, suezee, what he said . . .

[tom]

Um.......My first suspicion, and to suggest it may cause you to roll yer eyes as it's something you have perhaps often thought, is that the cigarettes themselves are a big (the main?) part of why you go days feeling crappy.

1) On the contrary, my dear, I welcome any comments from all y'all, whether I've had the thought before or not.

2) My current thinking/hope is that the response to perfumes & cleansers & other fumes/vapors could be reduced w/out smoking's additional 'toxic burden'.

Besides all the obvious health reasons, that ALONE makes quitting worthwhile.

You are constantly reacting to them, perhaps subclinically, as you react to so many other outside agents. If this is the case, won't you be waiting for-bleedin'-evah for a few good days to quit? Just thinking aloud.....

Welllllllll .. . .today feels like I'm back on the upswing, but more telling is that last year, once off soy, I had THE best, most FAN-*******-TASTIC days of my life from June until Oct/Nov. :)

<once past 2 months, I really really thought it would last>

Of course, I was smoking during all that.

I was having enough "good" days pre-quitting and for the 1st couple days off cigs.

Thx tho - it's food for thought and add'l motivation that maybe there is a heretofore unconsidered mental effect from the 'toxic burden'.

[DingoGirl]

Then again, maybe questioning the effexor effectiveness predates the barley.

But you did say you haven't been as careful in general lately. Hmmmm

totally predates the barley.......it's been more of a constant state lately. I am just SUCH a different person than I used to be.....of course, my mom likes to point out that it's such a relief to NOT have Manic Susie ......but - - I wouldn't mind just a teensy bit of mania? I got SO much done.

I have a good life, a wonderful boyfriend, good friends, comfy home, and without doubt the best dog in the world......but - but - but - - I have no energy, no goals........I am just drifting along and don't know what to do wtih myself. I seriously feel that all of the breakdowns in the past have left me stripped and empty....esp. the Siege of Terror in 2004 - I have never been teh same since then......not even remotely. I recovered quite a bit after gluten removal.....but feel something isn't right presently. I can do better than this. <or can I? is this how it will always be? >

Presently, if I had a job, I'd be fired, no question about it. I am as dull as mud - in my brain. Oh yes, I can write phunny things......and those close to me tell me that in my dullest state I'm still far more interesting than most.....

I always gauge the condition of depression as this -- when situations/circumstances are the same as they were xx amount of weeks/months/ days ago and one finds oneself in an inexplicably deep pit for too long a time - one must examine what is going on.

okay - I know I'm not supposed to apologize but - sorry for the sad rant on silly thread.....carry on.

[DingoGirl]

Ah, Pthaooeoeoeoeghommmmmmmmmmmn,

I hate the cigarettes for you, wish it was just easy as gluten-free pie to quit.

[elye]

that must be the Welsh spelling.

No! Upon researching, I discovered that the Welsh spelling is this:

Wwpfftaougwhwwymymnn.

My current thinking/hope is that the response to perfumes & cleansers & other fumes/vapors could be reduced w/out smoking's additional 'toxic burden'.

Besides all the obvious health reasons, that ALONE makes quitting worthwhile.

Yep. Now ya just gotta git 'er done......Unburden thyself toxically! Easy for ME to say, eh?

I have a good life, a wonderful boyfriend, good friends, comfy home, and without doubt the best dog in the world......but - but - but - - I have no energy, no goals........I am just drifting along and don't know what to do wtih myself.

I think you're quite right, Susie, to consider another antidepressant. You have nothing to lose, and so incredibly much to gain. There are so many different ones out there, and it can be one that becomes that vital missing puzzle piece...(((HUGS)))))

I am as dull as mud - in my brain. Oh yes, I can write phunny things......and those close to me tell me that in my dullest state I'm still far more interesting than most.....

Susie, I cannot imagine a phunnier, more interesting and erudite version of you. It's just not possible!

[Jestgar]

I think you're quite right, Susie, to consider another antidepressant.

She's already got the good life, a wonderful boyfriend, good friends, comfy home, and without doubt the best dog in the world.

Are you suggesting perhaps a poodle to set the standard?

[nikki-uk]

Phauthaourghmnnnnn!!!!!!

Why do I think 'Brokeback mountain' when I look at your avatar???

As a teen, I tried ironing it, rolling it on soup cans at night and slathering it with Dippity Do (an early hair gel--very goopy) and wrapping around my head overnight. I have to say it's been nice having straight hair for the last couple of years--I always wanted it and got it. Now, I think I can move on

Patti's got closure!

Pretty soon this silly is hiding under her desk....I got 3 new patients today in an hour!!!! And there are 2 waiting to be registered to my studies. My desk is piled with charts....I dont know where to start either....

Landen is spending the night tonight since Jen got called into work.

Amanda!!!!

Come out!!!

Tell the patients to take a seat....you MUST tend to your sillies......toot sweet!!!!

.......am still dragging bottom a bit.

Whaaat????

Susie's dragging her bottom around?? (like a human butt scoot??) or as an added rather cumbersome appendage

.I am nearing comatose state and.........OMG I think I just wiped up some spittle..........

GADS girl!!!

Dribbling and dragging yer bottom?

NO good will come of this......I'll be round with a bottle of Chardonnay and a good sense of humoUr AT ONCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

However I will NOT drag your bottom round for you.

Talking of spittle I put hubby's name forward (he has no choice) in a study into the genetics of celiac disease being done at a London teaching hospital.

He's just had to fill a pot with spit .......harder than you think

Googled my name....I am a professional cyclist in the Bay area

Hubby invented the computer form of the Braille system

[elye]

Are you suggesting perhaps a poodle to set the standard?

when ya got everything else, you cannot go wrong wif a standard poodle...

He's just had to fill a pot with spit .......harder than you think

It was difficult for him to do? Was he, like, across the room from the pot?

Of course you are, Nikki! And of course he is.....

[psawyer]

The subject of googling my name came up once before. If you just use my first and last names, you will find lots of hits, most of them relating to a professor of Scandinavian history, who has written books on the subject.

There a very few hits on my full name as an exact match, and all of them are versions of my brother's biography (which lists his family).

[tom]

No! Upon researching, I discovered that the Welsh spelling is this:

Wwpfftaougwhwwymymnn.

(Is a Welsh LOL more like ThpyLLaOuhhknwyLjnel ?)

Yep. Now ya just gotta git 'er done......Unburden thyself toxically! Easy for ME to say, eh?

I'm feeling like if I can have a last bit o' fun (for a while) tomorrow morn, I may be ready.

<gah!! did I really say that?>

It would also depend on the hypnotherapist having room in her schedule, tho.

Phauthaourghmnnnnn!!!!!!

Why do I think 'Brokeback mountain' when I look at your avatar???

Now you just cut that out missy!!!

<------which of them is this?

(like a human butt scoot??)

:lol:

[Jestgar]

Tom darling, come to my dungeon. I'll "convince" you to give up cigarettes

Funny how putting "anything" in quotes make it seem more "mysterious".

[DingoGirl]

oops -

[DingoGirl]

:lol:

Susie, I cannot imagine a phunnier, more interesting and erudite version of you. It's just not possible!

Why thank you, Em. but it IS - or WAS - possible. My personality stripped of mania still remains interesting, I suppose........but not in any way like it was........ it's something I ponder regularly....these elements of personality that make us who we are. Is a person driven to paint/play the piano/write until 4 or 5 in the morning - who goes days without sleeping - normal? Not really......but I've lost the impetus to paint at all. So NOW maybe I'm normal? I'm soooooooooo bored with myself. :yawn: Eveyrthing that's interesting about me seems to come from my past and things I used to do.

<I shan't bore you all with my musings of these things......too tired to press on with it, frankly >

She's already got the good life, a wonderful boyfriend, good friends, comfy home, and without doubt the best dog in the world.

:lol: OMG that's it Jess, a poodle..........this surely will complete the picture......

*snort* :lol:

Yes, come round, dear friends, w/ a bottle of chard (or several), Terry can spit into a pot whilst I drag my butt and scoot around the floor.

OMG - speaking of same - there actually ARE scoot marks now. Kissey pointed them out to me - - shampooing and butt squeeze to happen toot sweet. (carpet will be having the shampoo, Weezee will be having the butt squeeze, just to clarify)

[tom]

Tom darling, come to my dungeon. I'll "convince" you to give up cigarettes

whispering

<she's scaring me>

shhhhhhhh!! she'll HEAR YOU!

Be afraid, Ptaoughmn......be VERY afraid.......

[~alex~]

Hi all! I hope everyone's been well. The wedding went off without a hitch! I REALLY enjoyed it -- not that I was expecting not to but I just enjoyed myself so much more than I had expected. I know this sounds kind of airy fairy or something but I just felt warm and fuzzy and peaceful the whole time. The whole day just went too fast though. We're going to do a delayed honeymoon sometime in the summer but we're not sure where yet. Also, I'm now embarrassed by the amount of money I've given other people for their weddings. I didn't realize how high going rate was for wedding gifts. I almost passed out when we opened the card from Ryan's godparents and the cheque was for $600. Our friends and family were extremely generous. I feel we must send gold plated Thank-you cards!

I quickly perused through the many pages I've missed and it looks like I've missed some kind of sillyville census. So . . . I'm a righty with straight hair and I do like math. Spelling on the other hand has always been my nemesis.

Happy belated mothers day to all the mothers of Sillyville. And if I'm not back before the weekend, happy May 2-4 to my fellow Canadian sillies. Since we're all diabetic I guess none of us will be drinking a 2-4. Either of you doing fireworks?

[happygirl]

With that proclamation Peter, I feel very honoUred.

I don't feel very silly lately----a new med, and I'm wiped out.

Congratulations, Alex!!!!!
