I'm sure she will Lixy, if the need arises again!! She's a tough wee bugger, when she wants to be!!

Problem with depression is, it doesn't matter how happy or content or unproblematic your life is....... it can get you anyway. Which is why it scares me so much! The BIG difference is, with her, I tell her EVERYTHING, which is something I've never done before...... plus, she's been there herself, AND she's a nurse too!! So, if *I* don't spot it (and I should, I've experienced it enough!) SHE will, and get me to do something about it!!


Ain't love grand?!?!?! I thank my lucky stars every day, for having the tremendous good luck to have met her!

--I'm not sure if any of that's new, I'm an open book!

11) I'm an atheist...though I was raised a Methodist and went "church hopping" with my mother all the time! We would visit different "churches" to explore the different religions and beliefs of everyone who make up this great big world. She taught me to respect EVERY persons personal beliefs...no matter how they differ from mine! I can recite the books of the old and new testement to this day, as I had to learn them to earn my very first bible..which I still have. I was 5 y/o at the time.

12) I laughed at Aqua's list and nearly pee'd my pants when I started to read gg's list! I've ordered an exhaust fan for my guest room in preparation for his visit next spring...lmfao!

13) My first husband would watch every sporting event known to man on television, but when it came to sex he never initiated, nor wanted it much....unless he was sleeping and I tried to wake him (of which I learned to do in order to "get any") and then all he would do is talk dirty and sex me up....till he was fully awake and suddenly he was too tired.....again! This made for a frustrating marriage and is the ONLY reason I left him. Otherwise....he was one of the most decent people I have ever met! BTW....I put up with that for eight long years......thinking it would change someday!

14) I am primarily right handed but I'm ambidextrous when it comes to alot of things.....handwriting, batting a baseball and throwing one, giving a hand job, LOL!...etc......but I can't.....um...have never been able to......um...*whispers* wipe myself after using the potty with my left hand.......Oh geezzzzzz! Where's the duct tape?

15) I love blue claw crabs but I don't like lobster.....I prefer beer to mixed drinks.....I never order the most expensive thing on a menu (feeling guilty that I could afford it when I know there are many starving people in the world)......I don't like Dom but I like inexpensive champagne ($12.00ish)......and I've never stayed in a hotel where there is room service (though I'd be willing to try it someday...just once....to order cheap champagne and strawberries at 2am!) Hey! I'm a cheap date! What can I say?

16) I'm a product of the late 60's and the entire 70's (and those of you who know what I mean....KNOW what I mean!) and I've tried every drug under the sun that was available to me at the time....except heroin.......because my brother (now deceased) was an addict most of his life and I didn't want to end up fighting the addiction I watched him battle on and off throughout his adult life!

17) I'd still smoke a bone......but it rarely occurs to me now-a-days. I have a "pot tin" that I keep my "stuff" in and I have a bag of homegrown in it from 1999 (I think that's how long it's been there). I might just roll one up today....lmao! I smoke cigarettes as well, and I'd let ANYONE ON THE PLANET give me a hemi-lobotomy if they could assure me that, afterwards, I would never realize that I had ever started smoking cigarettes and therefore not know of the worst addiction on the planet!

18) On a lighter note....I've quit smoking so many times I'm becoming the world champion of quitters! But....the last time I quit....and started again...I said, "I quit quitting! I suck at it and I hate to suck at anything but cock"! LMFAO!

19) I go to funerals and memorials out of respect for loved ones lost.........but I never visit (on a regular basis) anyones gravesite or memorial plot after the services are over. If I feel a need to "contact" them or be close to them.....I just speak to them wherever I might be.

20) If the world were to end tomorrow......I only have one regret in my lifetime that I would wish to change and make ammends for! There are many things I wish I could have said or done to/for lost loved ones....and many things I wish I hadn't said or done to some people, dead or alive......but there is only ONE thing I would change in order to feel that my life was perfect....regardless of it's imperfections along the way!
