For my straight readers: – are you “out” as an ally?
:: waves hand ::
Hi, that's me. I'm a straight guy, but have tons o friends who are other than straight, of both genders. And yes, I've had lengthy discussions on the topic with narrowminded people... sad to say even at Thanksgiving dinner (sad cuz it's like rule #1 for T-day, and sad because the bulk of my family falls in that "narrowminded people" category). And yes, I sign the petitions for HRC too. :)

Yikes. When I've got a condition whose symptoms include depression and "mental fog" is really a bad time to read Allen Ginsberg. Or possibly a really good time, but while the effect is certainly interesting, it's not quite what I needed tonight.
Need to find something to read that will not cause crying or freaky imagery.
Hil, back
away
from the Ginsberg.
The books currently within reach are Half-Blood Prince, a very boring book called "A History of Mathematics," (well, the topic is interesting, but the writing is really boring), and a vegetarian slow-cooker cookbook. I think I'm going to need to actually get up and walk to the bookshelf (all the way on the other side of the room) to find something else to read. (I want to read more of The Big Sleep, but I don't really have the brain power to follow the plot right now.)
Short stories and magazines are good for me when I can't concentrate. I don't know if that translates to mental fog.
Hil I am hypothyroid, I think there's a few other buffistas as well. Feel free to email me any questions if you want. Not that I'm an expert or anything, but I've been through a few rounds.
If you are right in the middle of the foggy blues that come with being hypothyroid, I can promise you that treatment is very effective.
Also, I'm curious, what are the wackaloon theories you've come across?
Thanks, Burrell.
Various whackaloon theories: It's caused by fluoride in the water. Way more people have it than suspected, because the blood tests are all wrong. And a few pages claiming that pretty much every health problem that doesn't have an obvious cause is actually caused by hypothyroidism.

Very much hope so. Falling asleep in the middle of a meeting with my advisor, as I did last week, is something I really don't want to repeat.
Falling asleep? Oh dear, yeah you won't stay wicked tired like that.

Really?! Now see I thought that everything was caused by candidia or a yeast infection or whatever it's called.

...which is caused by hypothyroidism, right? :)
Weird Al is playing in LA on the 20th of October. I really want to get tickets for this.
