I expect W to solve my worries for my country and a good neurosurgeon to solve the rest of them; Oprah can't solve a 2nd grade crossword puzzle. I read on another thread that somebody's 84 year old grandma is too scared to open her mail and that got to me bigtime.

My dad says he's never been depressed a day in his life and can't understand it; you're probably like him, and don't know how lucky you are!

Our next door neighbors became grandparents for the first time on Wednesday! The parents had been told that the baby would have a birth defect from the sonogram...but he is PERFECT ! Praise the Lord!

Good for your Dad! My kinda guy. ;-)

Loved the comment about Oprah. I was being sarcastic. ;-)

Anyway....I did have a 'bout with the "blues" (not depression - a least not clinical depression about 20 years ago) after a life changing event. Eventually realized that I was surrounded by friends/family who loved me very much. And that life ain't s'posed to be easy, that'd be boring as hell. Life is a challenge. Rise to it, man. Rise to it. Good luck with the N'surgeon. Hope all is well....
