Actually, Lau, if it had been depression, the correct treatment is indeed both medication and talk therapy. Talk therapy alone won't change the neurochemical imbalances that lead to major depression; medication alone (even if you hit the right combo, which can be different for each person) won't change the thought habits you pick up while you're depressed. The two together can work wonders. (Unfortunately, even if I had medical insurance, the package offered where I work would hit its annual limit with about three psych visits and a month of Zoloft, so my wife is just trying to get by with her depression until the situation can improve...)

Nipping out now - I guess I'd better leave the Cafe and get back to the grind. Might drop by for afternoon tea.

Lau, what happened to the letters of the alphabet we sent to you for the 200th page...hiss boo:...

I refer you to...

Me closing the PMs at eight letters, after having to beg for another vowel.

Me managing the best anagram I could, from a rather intractable set of letters.

The full size version of what is currently my avatar.

People have been given warnings in the past about this sort of thing. There will be random spot tests, from time to time, occasionally, especially at the century marks.

You have failed this test. You are now on probation. In future, you must attend more assiduously to homework assignments.

You have been warned.

PS. Has anyone seen my lead balloon?

Sticking out tongue!

You are not the boss of me!

ZanneMarie, sorry if I made you feel selfconscious about your avatar.

Everyone my daughter has blown you a kiss and has her photograph on Random Discussion: Kiss a random WP member, p39. She finishes "ZanneMarie'''and then her photo covers the rest of the words, "Lau, Inventor, and all the old farts in the Aspie Dino Cafe."

So you think that Lemon talks a lot, Postpaelo???? Mmmm. Don't stop though. Glad that your wife has only left you for 2 nights. It was a lovely love story.

Nanna, I just have face issues. Mostly that I don't know what to do with that, so I supernova the thing and then I don't have to deal with it. I only really feel comfortable if dh talks about it and then not too much. I don't have good face sense and it seems to have a life of its own in attracting things I don't want to deal with. I am getting a clone of Nan's bag to wear.

I got a kiss and didn't know it? I never read all the threads. Humph.

Here's what I suggested for threads. Should we add any of these? I'll add the posts if you like. Just tell me what you want to see. If you still want to go to the art and writing thread, no problem. We just won't post a separate one. They're just ideas as a place to start. This is what I wrote Alex:

I would have the Dino Cafe, the marriage thread (sorry, I'm not even comfortable talking about my marriage in front of kids in high school dating because they can't relate yet, but I do offer them hope that it CAN happen and will continue to do that), Dino Whiskey A Go-Go (music) , Dino Cellar (Literature), Dino Gallery (Art), Dino Ex-patriates (Writing), Dino Office Cooler (the work and professions thread), Dino University (oldsters going back to school or just starting), Dino Diaper Duty (Kids and Grandkids talk), Dino Clinic (Illnesses, Co-morbids, etc), Dino Collectors Shop (for all our special interests, planes, trains and automobiles) and Dear Dino (A place where younger people can ask how we coped).

Edit away Dinos!

I reckon start them off and see where they go. People will vote with their feet, metaphorically speaking, if they don't like any of them.

The ones I'd be most likely to post in I've highlighted, but I'm not adverse to any of the other topics.

Looks like I joined the fray just too late.

I don't like "In-depth".
I don't feel at all "Adult", because that has so many connotations that don't appeal to me. I'm just going to stamp my feet.
"Life" - don't talk to me about life...
"Discussion" - well, I guess so, sometimes, when I'm not ranting.

One forum title that blends the names of all three requested, and finishes up fitting with none of them.

Sorry. There's just no satisfying some people, is there...

Note a common thread in all ZanneMarie's threads? (Bar one) One four letter neologism.

Oh! Sorry, two common threads - an element of humour.

Wait three common threads, FLW, humour and an almost fanatical inability to spell "turnips".

Amongst the many common threads....

==================

Well... I thought I might like this new forum... now I just feel lost. When I saw the cafe marked as "Moved:", I merely looked straight at the forum list. I could see no trace of anything like it.

==================

Is someone going to calm me down?

I've started a couple of them. Let's see how they do. They will fly or die as they are meant to do.

Yes it is dear, all is well. I wrote a longer piece, but somehow between writing it and posting it, it disappeared. Suffice to say, I am tired!
