Good Morning Pete! I still care! I can only pray that those in crisis will post...It's nice to see that you care as well! Jess :)

Well I am new to this site since yesterday and I am still trying to figure it out but I dont know how it used to be but if it used to be like that then I hope it will go back to that because I really would like that supportive, non judgemental people that could give me advice. thanks for updating me on what used to happen! Have a good day.

PeteA,

Unfortunately, as with our many jobs that we bp seem to have, the grass is not always greener on the other side of the fence. When we are confronted by issues that bother is, we need to discuss them as you are.

I hope that you will not leave us here at DS. For I am sure that we can all settle down, as we are trying to do now, and get past some of our issues.

My name is Michelle and I would be more than glad to help you with anything if you need me.

May the Love of God be with you always PeteA

Should I tell my Bipolar friends to go ahead and join now? Is it safe to go into the water? They really need something like this and I have personally gained so much from the Depression Comm. (good friends, good discussions, good advice)that I wanted my bipolar friends to have the same experience! Most of you in this Comm. are so helpful and supportive! Thanks!

Nancy your friends are always welcome here.

Can you please specify which postings are ridiculous. I'm honestly not sure. I mean I find some posting to be ridiculous but some others find them helpful or encouraging and vice versa. If I think something is ridiculous I usually ignore it. I almost ignored this one but I was curious about which of the thousands of postings are the ridiculous ones.

i agree. there should be a room here for jokes and humor...... and for the the people who like to duke it out......

Thanks Shell! I was all for it until I saw those latest (and thankfully deleted) posts.I will let them know and encourage them to follow the supportive folks here!

lets break this discussion intro down into its parts. The word ridiculous is used implying something negative. I, for one, am particularly fond of the word ridiculous in a more positive bent....

otterheart....stick to the subject ok?
I'll see you in English 101 at 3pm.

Pete, thanks so much for saying what I feel. I am new and came to this site to find education and understanding. I have not even checked this site in days because of what you so aptly described. I thought Oh, well so much for that hope. I second your suggestion.

If I cant stand proud as a ridiculous otter...than what can I stand for?

Support for this illness,is sometimes in short supply. It's positive step for some of us just to communicate with other people. Let's keep this a fun place to share some of lifes troubles and some of lifes fun.

I join the stance of the proud Otter. Let's organize a rally.

Otters, otters
Let them be.
Oooooooooooooo
So ridiculous and free.

I want to join the Otter League.

One for otters, one for all.


Dobie: The English course needs to cover 'connotation','deconotation'(sp) and spelling too.
One is the definition I think and the other the emotion behind the word.

For example, the word look has the same meaning as the word glare, glance, stare, survey but not the same emotion.

No siree. English 103 for me.

Stick. Stick. Stick.
Glue. Glue. Glue.
Tape it.
Ha, duct (duck) tape and then we are through.

Ahhh, save it, save it.
Tape me back.
Glue me together.
Staple, it on!
Sand the edge off.
Drill the hole through.
Hang me up.
Throw me down.

Nooooooooooooooooo, water please.
I'm melting. Melting. Melting.
I say.
Ouch!! Am I really made this way?


Oooooooooooooo, Sorry. Original message.

People are people
So why should it be
You and I should get along so awfully?

So we are different colors
And different creed
And different people have different needs
It's obvious you hate me
though I've done nothing wrong.
You haven't even met me
So what could I have done?

So you are biting and a kicking
and screaming at me.
I'm relying on your common decency.
So far it hasn't surfaced
But I am sure it exists. (Yes, are you in there. Yes common decency being paged. Here. Yes we need you........)

Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines.
We need you.

Anchors away, anchors away . . .

From the halls of Montezooma(sp) to the shores are Tripoli,
We will fight our country's battles from sea to shing sea
We will fight for rights and freedom
We will fight for what is true . . .

I'm a yankee doodle dandy
Yankee doodle do or die.
Yankee doodle went to town just to ride a pony,
I am that Yankee Doodle Girl!!

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh. Music at 5 pm.

Howdy pete. The climate pattern appears to be stablizing now. No matter everyones best intentions a hurricane occasionally rolls in. Sometimes it clears by the next morning.Other times it takes a bit longer. Best thing to do is to skip the threads that aren't helpful. And if you find a discussion on page five that you feel is informative to people, just post on it and it will bump up to the top of page one. Hope things go well for ya.
