Realizing all the things Hubby and I would never get to do was/is hard. I think that's one reason turning 50 has been such a kick in the head.

{{{{{Andi}}}}} I'm so sorry for what you're going through, but I agree with Kate. A new doctor and different meds may be necessary.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Thanks, but the doctor I had been working with was the one who listened to me about the thyroid stuff but even that was insufficient to get me what I need. I quit going because it is a waste of my resources to keep spending time and money on things that will not get me what I need. And therapy, in any modality, is useless. I have zero interest in learning how to pretend harder that I can have what I want, or that I want what I can have, together with more coping skills for the moment. I have chosen to stop pouring effort into doing things that are not directly related to getting what I want.

Our wings are not tired.
If you would find it helpful to have an ear I would be happy to listen via email anytime, not phone because although I love you I don't do phone with anyone!

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
Andi, I don't know what to say, but I'm thinking of you. Which sounds deeply trite... but I am.

Andi, I'm sorry your fish are dead. I've had dead fish too. It can get better. I hope it does for you, because you are important to me and to many people.
ETA: But mostly, I hope it does for your sake. Because having dead fish sucks. And people shouldn't have to have dead fish.

Yeah, I don't mind my own dead fish, but I'd love to be able to go around with defibrillator paddles to everyone else's dead fish.
ETA: I am the Three Hundred.
Yes, that is very silly. I'm going with it, though.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I tried waxing my legs last week. Ended up with hairless legs and seriously irritated skin. I thought they had healed enough that I could shave today. Turns out, not so much. I just had to sit outside for half an hour, waiting for the bleeding to stop and the blood to dry, before I could come back in and sit on the real furniture again. There are way too many cuts to even think about putting a Band-Aid on each one.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
{{{Andi}}} I'm sorry you're struggling and send many warm wishes your way.
I wanted to upload some baby Ford pix to Flickr but my pro acct expired and I don't want to renew. I can't figure out how to delete pix so that I'm under the 200 limit. I want to share the ridiculous adorableness of my new boy!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Waxing them yourself of someone else waxing them?
