[QUOTE=Anaamika] Darling, I already have them. šŸ˜ƒ Even though I only have a balcony garden, I still get the occasional creepy crawly. No worries there! [/QUOTE] Pansies! Both you and **Twinkie** are pansies. Who needs gloves while gardening? Donā€™t you just love the feel of the Earth between your fingers? Donā€™t you just revel in the smell of the earth and plants? What? Is it only me? šŸ˜• Iā€™m joshing ya! Sometimes you HAVE to wear gloves because they help you get a much better grip on the weeds. I donā€™t wear the gloves to avoid creepy crawlies though. They donā€™t bother me. ---

Itā€™s supposed to be in the low 80s here for the rest of the week. Most of the smog has gone away, too. But the wind picked up, so thereā€™s pollen and assorted allergens in the air again. Achoo! It was one year ago today that I was contemplating what kind of splat I would make if I jumped from the 5th floor patio. The co-worker who ended up taking me to the hospital said the most unnerving thing was seeing what a mess I was, crying, with my arms all carved up, still answering the phone: Joe Smithā€™s office, this is Jahdra, how may I help you? and sounding like there was absolutely nothing wrong. I could never have imagined, one year ago, that I would ever feel better, much less be well. But I am. I feel fantastic. This is the best I have ever been in my entire life. Depression and anxiety run in my family and are a given; something you live with and endure. But not me, not anymore. I am the actor in my life, not the acted upon. And really, what more could I ask for? Itā€™s another co-workerā€™s birthday today and in a way, it feels like mine, too. ---

Hot. We were talking about hot, right? Iā€™m just back from an Expedition to the Dentist with Darling Daughter. She was having molars sealed. Tomorrow itā€™s to the orthodontist for installation of brackets! Whee! :rolleyes: But anyway, the point is I was outside where itā€™s hidously oppresive and I have to have on work clothes, which are all pantsy and shoe-ey. I want to be semi-nude at this stage. Shorts and t-shirt, max. Well, now Iā€™m in my office where A/C reigns, although Iā€™m not in the ice factory like **Taters**. OK ā€¦ hereā€™s something. What I donā€™t know, but itā€™s something. I awoke this morning with a Burning Question on my mind. Burning. Why does **Puggie** refer to her ex-husband as ā€œThe Klingon.ā€ Surely sheā€™s explained at some point; surely I read that explanation. Or maybe I just made one up. I envision him as 6-5, hairy, rumpled brow, possibly aggressive, distasteful at the very least. Why. Why, I say. Since I couldnā€™t simply ask La Pugsta, I turned to barely awake Hubster. ā€œThereā€™s a woman on SD who calls her ex-husband ā€˜the Klingon,ā€™ā€ I say, ā€œand I donā€™t know why.ā€ Hub Unit: ā€œBecause he wonā€™t go away?ā€ :eek: :smack: šŸ˜ƒ Me: ā€œBesides, I need to think of an interesting name, too.ā€ For my own personal ex-husband, you know. HU: ā€œI already did.ā€ And we say together: ā€œPigpen.ā€ Hee hee. Reason being, whenever he shows up, these clouds of chaos appear around him. He talks a mile a minute, thereā€™s children jumping up and down, doors are slamming, etc., etc. Plus after living with his infernal messes for 16 years, itā€™s wholly appropriate. I still like ā€œKlingon,ā€ though, and cheerily await a thorough explanation. šŸ†’ ā€“ Ellen (feeling smiley-ie) ---

**Jahdra,** in a way it _is_ your birthday. I am glad to read about your recovery. Iā€™ve suffered depression as well, but not nearly as badly as what youā€™ve described. Mine took a different form as well. I just shut everyone out. It wasnā€™t good. I have not seen either of the television shows you folks are discussing. The model thing sounds, well, most definitely not my lane. I need more go-juice. ---

**Jahd** , I was never that bad, but Iā€™ve had several rounds of low level depression, and one spell of full blown clinical depression that lasted about 5 weeks. That was about 7 weeks too long in my book, and I never want to do that again. The low level wasnā€™t too bad, but it did make life rough around the house because of my surly attitude. Usually, Iā€™m a big olā€™ teddy bearā€¦ šŸ˜‰ Yeah, rightā€¦ Most of all welcome, back from the edge. ---

Me? I have no qualms about double posting, especially when there is cleaning to avoid. **Jahdra** -Iā€™m glad youā€™re here with us now. **spats** -that was an awful pun, but a good one. I like my puns coordinated (or at least tangential). **Mika, Mika, Mika** --blonde guys are needy guys. And since I am blonde(ish), I prefer dark menā€“plenty of 'em have silky hair. But hey, this is goodā€“when we cruise bars together, we wonā€™t be competing for the same men. what? ---

\*\*Jahdra \*\* - Glad to hear about your recovery - it gives me hope for my depression. Java, Liquid Caffeine, Go-Juice, CuppaJoe, whatever you want to call it, I need it. Lots of it. Every day. An intraveinous infusion would be ideal, but since thatā€™s not practical, you know those huge styrofoam cups delis serve lemonade or iced tea in? one of those every work day (sometimes with a refill in the afternoon) Today - I started off with one of those and a regular large - so 64 oz of wake up juice (and Iā€™m _still_ falling asleep at my desk) ---

[QUOTE=Spatial Rift 47] _ducks and runs, giggling madly_ [/QUOTE] Are you going to be making puns the whole time weā€™re at the Ren Faire? Maybe I should reconsider this. šŸ˜› Rigs, maybe blondes are needy but dark-haired guys can overly pushy and demanding. Havenā€™t you ever heard that old saying? Blue eyes say, Love me or I die.
