Boy, I wish chocolate was one of the things I could enjoy anymore. Due to an intolerance for soy, I can't have it anymore. The candy companies switched to soy lecithin from whey lecithin and that ended it for me. WAHHHHH!

Oh well, it was making me fat anyway...

Got a pair of earrings and a rose from a guy I am seeing but have not decided if he is a boyfriend yet.

And cards from friends on another site... Real cards... in the mail... That was fun

Real cards in the mail are so much fun! I send cards to friends several times a month, and get cards back too. It is such a joy. I also keep all the cards I get and have a box full. (My mother has kept all Christmas cards she's got since the 1970's...it is a lot of fun to look at them.)

I save my Christmas cards too. I cut off the fronts on many of them, and sent them to my nephew when he was in Iraq. The soldiers used them to decorate. I thought that was pretty cool.

Anyone here been diagnosed with Seasonal Affective Disorder? My doctor decided to add that to my list of disorders yesterday. I was in his office bawling like a baby. The sun had not shined in my area of WI in over a month. We have ordered the appropriate light for me to sit next to.
In the mean time, God sent me a beautiful sunny day today, and I feel great!

Thanks to those who prayed for me yesterday. God has answered our prayers in His way. With the sun and His Son.

I've never even heard of seasonal affective disorder. But it does make sense. When I used to live in CT, we'd have day after day of those grey skies and no sunshine and cold weather. Now that I live in AZ, the only time of year that still has an adverse effect on me is Christmastime. I always had my worst attacks around that time of year. Even though it's sunny and warm in Phoenix at Christmas time I still get sad. Maybe it's a force of habit, since I was so used to it back east I've just carried it with me. Since moving to AZ my depression is greatly decreased and almost gone. But some days are still rough.

Hey, Seajoy. Have you tried to put flourescent lights in with grow bulbs? It's good for your house plants, and in your case, good for you! Do you have a rec-room? That and your kitchen might be a good place for them. A dropped ceiling used to be popular in the seventies, does your kitchen have one? If you have any flourescent lighting, gro-bulbs (or greenhouse flor. tubes) would be beneficial to your condition and an inexpensive addition to the house (with the side benefit of not having to just sit in one place for those beneies ).

Makes me want to move to AZ. I've never lived anywhere but Minnesota and Wisconsin. Glad it's done you good to live where you do. I have been hospitalized for depression/anxiety stuff, 9 times. All have been in late August to early Oct. I wonder if that would go with me if I moved south. Hopefully it no longer stays with me at all. Or you Zec.

Another soul here on TCL told me the same thing about the plant type bulbs. I don't have any plants. My dog would sure enjoy them if I did (digger).
We use those curly bulbs mostly all over our house. Is that what you are talking about?
Hi back at ya, Stude!

The school bus crash in Minnesota is near my home town.
4 kids were killed. Two were brothers in 3rd and 5th grade. Their sister had died during surgery a few years ago. My niece's boyfriend was best man in their oldest brother's wedding this past saturday. Their are only 2 of 5 children left in the family.

Another family lost their daughter who was in 5th grade. Their son is also in critical condition from this crash.

One of the teachers at the school lost a son as well.

My brother is on the school board for this school. My nephew is speaking at a prayer service today in one of the local churches at about 10am.

I am stunned at what has happened. Please pray for all the families involved. May our dear Lord give them comfort in the salvation won for them in Jesus, while this small community greives.
