The sorrows of this world are my sorrows and my responsibility.
I am blessed with grace and my spirit is forever strong and unaffected thank you, marichiko.

I have my outlets.

Thank you for your concern, Brianna. I do some social work, (one of my degrees is psychology), and I know the symptoms of depression, including sleeplessness, lack of libido, etc. I am not depressed, thank god. I have always been an insomniac, always. I power nap, an hour here, three hours there. My life style that I have created for myself enables me to do so. I am very rarely tired. (Possibly reading your mind, no, I am not manic)

I have a wonderful network of friends, teachers, and mentors.

My first cousin is my Doctor, he knows my situation, re sleep, of course, and knows it is not an issue and that I am healthy physically and emotionally.

I will put this as gently as I can, as I mentioned I appreciate your concern, but do not brain pick me anymore please, on a non-intellectual level.

I never ruminate. lol I face my demons head on.

The Taliban actually destroyed a vast majority of Opium poppy crops. It's only since the 'invasion' that things have 'gotten back to normal' over there as far as poppy seeds go.

Is this good or bad? Much of Afghanistans economy is fueled by opium exports derived from either legal or non-legal sources/purposes. (undoubtedly, most people here realize Morphine and all it's derivitives are a product of opium)

To the poor farmer trying to make a buck, I'll bet he's happy the US came and got rid of the Taliban. To the parent who's child dies of a heroin overdose...I'm not so sure.

Ahhh...no highjacking intended. Just thought I'd correct a minor error.

I'm still figuring out how a thread about Canada now being the proud owners of a Conservative government turned into another discussion about the rights and wrongs of Iraq and co.

The Cellar Raises Thread Piracy to High Art.

Somebody remind me to post that in the taglines thread, 'kay?

[Aliantha]

I think I should get myself a tagline. There are some good ones here. You're all so....hmmmm...what's the word? Glib? I'm not sure if I can come up with anything good enough.

You all look different from down under.

Don't sweat it. It takes years of honing.

[Aliantha]

But I don't have time for years of honing! I want a glib tag line now!!!

Brain pick? You know, dov could turn a strangers friendly smile, RE: into an insult. VOILA! The magic of the French, non?

Now, i'm going away. I don't want to have to be taunted a second time!

[BigV]

dov, not because I doubt your smarts, but because you're new here, I offer a couple of translations, no charge. Welcome aboard.

Until then, just shut up.

Oh, and I'm smarter than you. (dov, no need to remember this one, it features in every other post)

Hey IG, here's a hint: you can't smell through the internet (thank goodness.) Open a window.

THE GODFATHER, Part III (1990) Just when I thought that I was out they pull me back in.

It is an honour, V, but we really do not care. There was no season last year, re strike and lock out, but now, it is Hockey Night in Canada.
