Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That's a legit attack! Yikes.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Wow! Around here it's red-winged blackbirds to watch out for. [link]

Because books.

Has anyone taken fluoxetine (Prozac) and had it stop working after a while? I think it's stopped working for me. If so, what did you switch to?

Jesus, sara, that's terrifying.

Birds don't scare me so it was funny more than anything.

Wandered down to field to watch fireworks& chat. Neighborhood girls were selling treats with profits going to BARCS, so I gave them $$. Nice chatting with folk.

Also, so much sweat & bugspray this evening, I'm gonna shower before bed. I feel encaked.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Amy, I ended up switching to Celexa (citalopram), which I've been on pretty successfully for almost 10 years.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I've been on Prozac multiple times. Every year and a half or so, the AD I'm using stops working that well so my Dr. switches me to something else. Eventually I cycle through all the ADs that have worked for me and we start the cycle again with Prozac. By then enough time has gone by that when I cycle through the various ADs again they work again for awhile.

Too tired to remember all the ADs I've been on, but Cymbalta and Wellbutrin have worked for me. I've also taken Buspar (for anxiety) for almost 20 years.

ION, I'm revising a version of my resume and have discovered I've been totally inconsistent with my use of the Oxford comma.

OMG this morning's 7AM meeting is incoherent.

Burn the witch!

We're changing the way we do a lot of things, and I can already tell that people are going to get tetchy.

Somehow overnight, my sunburn chilled out, but the bug bites came up! Annoying.
