      Apparently I'm bipolar. Finally back on meds and liking them so far. Things are getting back to normal but a day at a time. Currently battling a depression, tryin not to go back there.

    • Little Love

      From mkbrn August 4

      So sorry to hear you've had a setback. damn it, doesn't it suck? We can be going along, all is fine and then bam... It's the nature of the beast I suppose. I hope things don't stay bad for very long and that you will be feeling back to yourself really soon. I'd be great if I weren't going back to work tomorrow. lol... Had a nice vacation. spent it in town, couldn't go to the lake this year. Hit the pool, zoo, museums, movies and have been trying out new places to eat. tried to do things I don't get a chance to do normally. Today is the last day, too cloudy to swim so we're hitting the botanical gardens then out to dinner. then... back home for laundry and getting things ready for work tomorrow. poo... oh well, need the paycheck. So nice to hear from you. Lots of Love and Hugs, Mary

    • Open Vegetarians & Vegans
      Type: Vegetarian

      I’ve unknowingly been a veggie (that’s how I called myself as a vegetarian) all my life. I was always repulsed by meat. But I officially turn vegetarian at 10 years old and I remember the exact moment! No meat, no fish, no seafood (and I try no eggs, but sometimes it slips in cakes and stuff), I don’t eat animals and do my best effort not to wear animal products. Increasingly I’m turning vegan, but I find this hard to do. Maybe just a bit at a time.
