Yeah; no comments? That’s 90% of the fun. The layout is terrible, and the articles are, uh, uninteresting. I predict an early demise unless they make some drastic changes quickly. People are checking it out, saying “nuh-uh” and likely not coming back. They need to think about what people liked, and what worked about…

It’s great isn’t it? They are a heavy metal band. I saw one of those “a voice coach reacts to ...” videos, where this very sweet young man critiqued the singer, and he was impressed at the voice control; heavy metal is not just screaming all the time.

You’re welcome!

Have you heard the version by Disturbed? Paul Simon loved it.

You know what’s even better than porcupines eating stuff? A porcupine getting belly rubs. He spins around when he gets excited too. He was a rescue in Alaska, and I don’t think he can be released.

I’m so sorry.

I’m so sorry about your dad. Anniversaries are very hard.

Congratulations! A lead role; what a feather in your cap!

Oh man, and the first part of your comment was so promising! I’m so sorry the week went downhill so badly. :(

:D

Big hair, shoulder pads and an 80's soundtrack?! It can’t help but be trashy!

I can’t reply to your comment to me (“good egg”) because kinja is more fucked up by the week, and I can’t find that comment, so I’m replying to your only comment that I can find! 

I would also say it’s a good idea to check in with your doc, because there could be some actual physical/physiological issues; a vitamin B12 deficiency can present as depression, for example.

If it’s any reassurance, I believe that most therapists, etc. get into the field because they are compassionate, caring people, and want to help others, not primarily for the pay.

You might wanna see a doc about that. Even if it was a stone, and it was passed, you could have an infection.

I’m old enough that I remember when Ontario wines were like really bad vinegar. They have come a long way.

If the first ones don’t work, keep trying. I was lucky and the first medication I tried was effective. Good luck.

Have you been able to talk to your therapist about limiting contact with your mother? I know it seems like a huge step, but I pretty much cut my sister out of my life because of her self-absorption. It was hard at first, but then I realised that I didn’t miss her; I missed the person that I thought she was.

I’m so sorry. Have you been able to touch base with your therapist?
