Erin, that is heart-breaking. I hope that the doctor is willing to prescribe the stuff that works for you with a phone call, now that you have tried the stuff she wanted you to try.

Shir, I hear you. I do not know what else to say.

Seska, my grandfather had a saying: "Three moves [sic] is as good as a fire." May you not feel completely burned out when yours is done.

Erin, that sucks. I hope the doc actually listens to you this time.

What does it mean if someone ends an email with "Dominoes and biscuits!"?

Hil, I've heard it used as a cutesy-mangled version of dominus vobiscum, i.e. "the lord be with you."

Thank you, Anne! I had a huge WTF in my head over that one even if it wasn't my question. Hey, it's good to see your font here. How are you doing?

Happy Birthday, erikaj! May the year ahead be filled with much writing and the publishing of same to wider acclaim.

Happy birthday, erika!

Thanks. I'm far less confused now.

having that faith and losing it does not have to be seen as a tragedy.

Thanks for posting this, I was thinking the same thing. My own path to atheism was a longer one that included a detour through Wicca, but ultimately I'm a happier and more fulfilled person now than I was then. For me shedding faith turned out to be just part of growing up.

Jessica is me.

Doing well! Work is much less crazy these days, and my energy and general well-being levels are back up due to a number of reasons, so I'm hoping to be less lurky than I have been of late.

Yes. This. I agree fully, even though I wouldn't say that I have lost my faith as much as I have kicked down the walls of the box that were stifling it. I suspect most of my old friends from my more churchy days would no longer consider me a Christian, but honestly? That's not their call.

That's it exactly, for me.
