I’m being treated for depression and I’m not the least bit sad. If anything, the only thing that I am sad about is being depressed. It’s a huge misconception about the condition, that it’s about unhappiness. It’s utterly debilitating when it’s at it’s worse, and it never goes away. There are days when you’re flying, and you almost forget, but when it hits, and you almost never see it coming, you’re knocked right out of sky. Getting up again is very hard.

Considering how important I believe it to be, my work-life balance has been beyond terrible lately.
I tend to see the positive in things, to the point where it gets annoying to some people. Well, it's just the way I am. Back when I was a student, someone broke into my room and stole my stereo (it was near the end of the term). The first thing that came to my mind is how impractical it would have been to transport it ( they were big and heavy back then) back to my place.
Did "they take" your vinyl/record collection also?
Cuz, that would be the ultimate bee-atch. Btw/ TV's were heavier then too... and OMG those cell phones.
I miss big stereos. Rack systems were fun to put together, operate AND gawk at.
I forgot about early voting...need to do that tomorrow or Friday.
may i ask for what?

They did steal a few Vinyl records. Fortunately, it wasn't long before I switched to CDs. So, in the end, it didn't matter much.
got questions:
- why are republicans fielding 4 candidates and splitting the vote) knowing the democrats try to flip hd 28? could be i just don't understand how elections in texas work, though.
- what is a katy teacher?
Katy, Texas--it's a large town, just outside Houston--a teacher from Katy.
The Houston area is traditionally Republican. I don't think any of them really think a Democrat could win, so they all run, thinking they could get the position.

okay - thought it's some special kind of teacher and couldn't find that
first past the post? if yes it sounds a bit strange
It's a "special election," due to seats vacated during the regular term, so it's a bit different . They " throw open" the doors, so to speak. And yes, the Texas political machine is its own particular brand of lunacy.

‘People have been saying for 40 years, ‘No one knows what really happened in that election,’ and ‘Everybody does it.’ Neither of those statements is true. I don’t think that this is the only election that was ever stolen, but there was never such brazen thievery”.
Oh, YES!! B.C. is laying the groundwork for an eventual move to permanent daylight time. I have wanted this exact thing for a long time.

If they ever want to bring this to Ontario, I’m all in favour!
(And yes, I know Saskatchewan has already done this. Hopefully now that there’s a second province looking at this, it will start a trend!)

i don't understand that. morning people could simply get up an hour early*. why force it on everybody else?

* this hour could be used in calm and contemplation for whatever private purpose
edit to add: don't get me wrong. this time changing nonsense has to go, but i want normal time back.

I would prefer permanent daylight time so there’s still daylight after work.
But, I imagine it would create problems with kids going to school in the dark.
