LeN, I missed the "oh my god" the first time, but I went back just to find it. It was hilarious.

Yeah, Parker is kind of my hero right now.

Generally, though, you're not with the same person for the whole two years, because people get assigned to different locations and they go home at different times. They also want to have newbies paired up with older hands. So every few months you get to have a closer-than-married relationship with someone new that you don't choose.

omgomgomgomg. Torture!

Because books.

What I'm on makes me less depressed and less anxious, but it doesn't make me cheery. Sometimes it's hard to remember what that's like.

I can be cheery in very specific, usually situational spurts. But even with my AD doubled (the generic of Celexa is what I've taken since I started them), I'm still depressed, even if it's a little more mild. I also just feel more ... blase about it? I can see it, over there, and it seems like too much trouble to do anything with it.

Which is really only since I doubled my dose, come to think of it, but I'm also not having days where I can't get out of bed or speak without crying, so. Trade offs, I guess.

but I also think my brain took a hit from chemo

You know, I forget to take that into account sometimes, but that's a good point. Trade-offs, indeed.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

I wasn't cheery for a LONG time, even though I was better.

It comes and goes, but over the last 6 months, I am freaking my long-time friends with how HAPPY I generally am. In a good way, but I AM more cheerful.

Shit still happens, and I've gone through a lot of shit and experimenting and stuff, but it CAN happen. I'm sure I'll cycle through some life shit, but I feel SO much better equipped to deal with it than I did even 2 years ago, it's amazing to me.

BTW, can someone re-post the TAL link for that story? I've looked and am getting no love.

Erin,

Part 2 is the part to which we are referring. I liked Part 1 as well, but Part 2 made me scream.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Grammar check? "The data are augmented" or "The data is augmented"?

"The data is" in that construction, Allyson.

Thanks, le nubian!

What if the data is coming from multiple sources? It sounds ridic to say that it is plural.
