It probably doesn't work for everyone, but the advice I always got from my shrink (which turned out to be dead on) was to treat depression with exercise -- in my case that's usually going to the gym and doing at least half an hour of cardio. Of course it requires being able to recognize when I've slid into a mood and then muster the willpower to do the thing I need to do to get out of it, but after a while it becomes an almost automatic response. Some combination of the endorphins and the feeling that I'm at least doing something productive instead of moping around the house usually serves to get me out of whatever funk I'm in.
Good advice. An hour of sexual release with a high class prostitute also works, but it's not for everyone. Actually it is for everyone. It is just hard to take that first step.... |

I hear that Ontario has legalized brothels, so maybe it will be that much easier now.  |

Not sure if I agree with it being a medical issue like flatulence, but I'm heavily biased by my own experiences in that regard. I was very averse to the concept of seeking professional mental help for a long time, in large part because I was uncomfortable with the idea of being put on drugs and living in a medically altered state, and I just assumed that if you were depressed and you went to see a shrink, that's what they would do with you. Once I got to the point of biting the bullet and going to see someone, it turned out that my issues were environmental (for lack of a better term) rather than physiological, and no drugs were necessary. I know that for a lot of people it's a matter of the chemicals in their head being a bit off and meds may be the best way to correct that, but it's important to get checked out by a professional. There's a reason they make you go to a lot of school before they let you prescribe the happy pills.

Most psychiatrists medicate everything that moves. Sounds like you got a good doctor.

Every psychiatrist I've ever seen had the prescription pad out when I walked in the office, and most every patient left with some kind of prescription or multiples. Psychologists, LPCs, and Social Workers, on the other hand, tend to prefer trying talk and therapy first.
YMMV.

Well, that's cuz they aren't licensed for a script pad, and need a resident psychiatrist to write them.

I should get back to nature, too. You know, like going to a shop for groceries instead of the computer. Maybe a condo in the woods that doesn't even have a health club or restaurant attached. Buy a car with only two cup holders or something. -Signe

You could probably go outside and pick a fight with an elephant or something for exercise.
Remember, the only way to outrun an elephant is running downhill ! |

But what do you do when the elephant behind and uphill of you trips, and starts rolling like a giant pachidermial steamroller?

I've got to do a presentation in class this week on recent news/events that relate to 'governing with code' - ie code, and data structures that relate to relationships with the internet, that sort of thing.
I know there are a lot more up-to-date people on here than me for things like this, so if you think of anything interesting that has happened in this regard recently then please send me a PM or the like.
Edit: 'Recent' in this context is within the last few months, up to a year or so.

I don't know whether to feel bad for the dept admin or laugh. She was on vacation last week for spring break; her family went on a cruise. Apparently the airline lost her luggage 3 times, there was something up with the room on the ship, she almost lost her family somehow in the Bahamas, and her house was broken into that Monday and their gaming consoles, a safe, and I think a few other things were taken, but no other electronics and no jewelry/other items. Supposedly, the safe was one her husband couldn't even pick up, so the police think it was at least 3 people, and if I hear right, they might have come back again later in the week while they were still gone. Oh, and I think her kids put that they'd be gone on a cruise on their FB pages  , which leads the police to further think it was friends of the kids. Oy. |

You can do both. But it tends to come across poorly.

It turns out I need to replace my wedding ring.
No-one was more shocked than I.

I'm struggling to figure out why you would ever replace a wife once you got rid of one.

Thought I'd told this story ; couple of years back I put it on and I was a little fatter than normal. Finger purpled and I had to get to ER and get the damn thing cut off my finger. (Middle age thing, I'm thin again thanks for asking.) Fast forward to now and I haven't been wearing it all because, frankly, it's a pain in the arse to replace, I loved it since it was perfect and I kept the pieces and wanted to get it remade. It's fine, I thought, no-one will ever hit on me or anything.  |

I missed out on the part where you didn't get around to remaking it.
Congrats!

I'm actually a lazy, lazy, lazy fucker.
I'm on holiday for Easter next week; if you don't see me posting 'I've remade it' throw me abusive PM's or something. No excuse really.

Well, sure, but seems like your wife would be the nag for you on this one.

Not as far as I can tell, no. I mop though, so it gets done. Just not as often as I would like. |
