For the record, when I read the OP, I was trying to think of what smart person had left the board recently. It did not occur to me that **Mrs. O’Malley’s Cow** was referring to herself until I saw other people commenting on it. ---

I’m going to be charitible and suggest it could be her [medications](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=7323197&postcount=2). > [@](#): > > Which one are you taking? I take Lexapro for clinical depression and while it doesn’t make me happy, it does even out my moods considerably. You should ask your doctor about this. And then post the answer as now I am very interested. I don’t have to change my diet at all but now I am thinking. By the way, I’m making a serious suggestion here. Lord knows that it sometimes appears to me that half this board is on antidepressants(or _needs_ to be 🙂 ). ---
