Ria... that's wonderful... I am so pleased for you, you have the right answer there,
Everyone that can, should try to gently break free from antidepressants, slowly and surely, it can be done.
Well done,
Chris.

My post just went to cyberspace as I was saying.,
Hi Jenny yes my babies will be most happy for me to join them on their bed. The haven't let me out of their sight for more than 3 minutes even follow me to the WC.

Willa My prayer partner and pastor's mother  is taking me to my doctor appointment tommorw. and I need tosee if Gilbert or Sarah will do  aome laundery for me. Clean sheets and doggie blankets.

Thank you all brothers and sisters for the prayers. Dr. Jesus brought me through on top of the world.  I have felt like coming home since I woke up from my surgery. Everone  at the hnospital and from my church were totally awestruck at how well I look and am doing.

My Pastor and his wife were there with me before my surgery and prayed for me cam,e to visit me every day. Then there was this wierdo  Al somebody who came to visit me   Some other people form church also some other people from my church came to visit. Everyone was amazed. I told the nurse that was because Jesus was my doctor and she just turnedand looked at me. The people who there visiting gave me a thumbs up and said "way to go marilyn." Well I don't want to bore y-all besides I have a lot of reading to do here.

Nite and Ria I will be praying for you, as you know I too have suffered with depression in the not so far past.

I forgot to tell you that yesterday at 3p.m. the volunteers came around to serve "HIGH TEA' I had the choice of cookies or chocolate pecan cheesecake with my tea. OH That cheescake was soooooogood.

The food was good there too. Better than any hospital food I have ever had. BBQ bonless ribs, baked herbed chicken,  apple pie etc.

WELCOME HOME, MARILYN!!! It is great to know you are doing so well!  That's our Jesus!

I didn't get a lot of sleep last night, then was up early to take my friend Twila for her pacemaker implantation.  She did just fine, and is back home now, resting, I hope.  It is truly amazing what they can do these days, and even on an out-patient basis!

Etta Sue, I have had XP for quite a while now, and sorry to tell you this, but you still have to defrag, etc.  My computer came with ME and I had so much trouble with it, it just refused to shut down.  Sometimes I had to try as many as 7 times before it would shut down, and that got really annoying.  So I bought XP and Curtis installed it for me.  He called me this morning at 1:00 AM, still working on my computer.  He had discoved my power supply was not big enough to handle the new motherboard, so today while in Liberal, I bought a bigger power supply.  I just hope he gets everything taken care of before he leaves for school, otherwise I will be without my computer for some time.

I feel very blessed not to have had to contend with depression much, but there was one really serious episode of it a few years back.  My pastor asked me how I wanted him to pray---did I want to go to the doctor and get medicine, or did I want the Lord to take care of it? My answer was that I just wanted Dr. Jesus to take care of it.  So for several weeks, either he or the associate pastor prayed with me every day.  Since Pastor Bill was also a pharmacist, he understood well how to pray in such a situation, and he always prayed for the serotonin levels in my brain to come to normal levels.  Praise God, it worked.  I had been under really terrible stress for several months, and it just about did me in; I was so happy to get out from under that terrible black cloud of depression!  I pray I never forget it, as I want to be understanding to those who also have to contend with depression.

I just got home, need to put those final articles in my suitcase so Darrel can close them and put them in the car!  We are leaving home around 10 in the morning!

I will probably check in again before I go to bed.

Oh Janet! I am going to miss you!    How long did you say you were going to be gone?  Like Karmat said, " Can I come, I fold up real easy?"
You have yourself a fun trip! Don't worry about anything.  I will pray you have a nice flight
And a fun time scuba diving.[/size]

Pat, are you home yet?  How was your day?  Did you go to the dentist again?  I was just thinking about you.  

Again I only had a few minutes.  I have most of my running around done.  I'll be leaving shortly again.
It has been a fun day so far.  Delivering the papers was a little more pleasent with out all the snow and cold weather.  We actually got up to 50F degrees.  I almost broke out the swimming pool.  

Oh ya, Janet!  Don't forget to watch for

Sharks!

hehehehheehee... A big(((HUG))) to take with you!!

That's not just for Pat, folks.  It's a pretty good picture of me!    Maybe one of these days we'll get above zero.   Meantime...

Jeanne:  such a cute cartoon.... and SO APPROPRIATE for this area too!

Brr... I wish I could go and live with Marilyn for awhile... I'll even do that laundry for you Marilyn.... think your doggies would mind if I shared the bed too?..LOL

Welcome home, Marilyn... I've missed you! I've prayed for you every day, as I know others here have too.

Pat... I'll be glad when you get home safe and sound from London.  Thats a terrible drive in this weather.  I'm glad though that its today that you went, and not yesterday!

Yesterday I had to go out and do some errands, plus have a mammogram (ugh).... it was so difficult trying to push the walker through the snow.  I was sure glad to get home to sit in front of the fireplace with a steaming cup of tea.

Not a lot of news to report from this neck of the woods....so I'll close for now.

I got this in my email today and thought I would share it here with everyone.

You're Being Watched!

Two cars were waiting at a stoplight. The light turned green, but the man in front didn't notice it. The woman in the car behind him is watching traffic pass around them. The woman begins pounding on her steering wheel and yelling at the man to move. The man doesn't move.

The woman is going ballistic inside her car, ranting and raving at the man, pounding on her steering wheel and dash. The light turns yellow and the woman begins to blow the car horn, flips him off, and screams profanity and curses at the man.

The man, looks up, sees the yellow light and accelerates through the intersection just as the light turns red.

The woman is beside herself, screaming in frustration as she misses her chance to get through the intersection. As she is still in mid-rant she hears a tap on her window and looks up into the barrel of a gun held by a very serious looking policeman.

The policeman tells her to shut off her car while keeping both hands in sight. She complies, speechless at what is happening. After she shuts off the engine, the policeman orders her to exit her car with her hands up. She gets out of the car and he orders her to turn and place her hands on the roof of her car. She turns, places her hands on the car roof and quickly is cuffed and hustled into the patrol car. She is too bewildered by the chain of events to ask any questions and is driven to the police station where she is fingerprinted, photographed, searched, and placed in a cell.

After a couple of hours, a policeman approaches the cell and opens the door for her. She is escorted back to the booking desk where the original officer is waiting with her personal effects.

He hands her the bag containing her things, and says, "I'm really sorry for this mistake. But you see, I pulled up behind your car while you were blowing your horn, flipping the guy off in front of you, and cussing a blue streak at him.

"Then I noticed the 'Choose Life' license plate holder, the 'What Would Jesus Do' bumper sticker, the 'Follow Me to Sunday School' bumper sticker, and the chrome plated Christian fish emblem on the trunk.

"So naturally I assumed you had stolen the car."

I think this really provides some food for thought and brings to mind a song "They'll know we are Christians by our love".....by our actions also.

Hi Everyone...

I'm home!

What a day this has been!

In 1 hour 20 minutes this morning, I had gone 36 km!  I was in a huge traffic jam on the 401 and phoned my daughter-in-law and asked her to call the University to say I'd be late!  There were accidents everywhere.  It was a long day.  I left at lunch time to take the dog for a walk and also to buy a tub of soup that I ate in the car along with some pain meds.

On the way home, there was a terrible tractor trailer acident in the westbound lanes and of course, the "rubber-neckers" in the east bound lanes just looking at it caused such a tie-up.

Anyway, I'm glad to be home and I'm going to make a pot of tea and sit and drink it!

I haven't read any posts yet except I can see yours Sonja and it's so cute!  You have the nicest little graphics!

I'll be back!

Hi Pat!   Nice to see you home safe and sound.  I was wondering how you'd made out.

That's a great story, Sue!  Makes you think for sure.

Hey ya'll

Pat, I must say you have some "interesting" drives for your dental work!     The best thing for you now is to settle down with your tea (did you use a sock?) and relax - before you get all stressed out again. Turn off your computer.  Anything on here can very well wait until tomorrow when you're more rested.

Pat Amen to what Jeanne just said to you. Go rest!! That's an order, I think I need to go rest too. My computer and my phone have really had a workout today.

Ohhh, Jeanne, you are so bad!  

Hi Pat!  Glad you made it back home.

Is that what you call us nosey folks?  hehehe...

Zachery got his braces tightened Tuesday.  He is very sore too.  He can't eat anything hard. Poor guy.  I sure hope your mouth feels better.  I don't know how you are even doing this.  If it were me they would have to put me to sleep for days.

 

Well folks!  I am off the computer and going to spend time with the family.  Have a good sleep and see you in the morning.  

Night, night, Sonja!    I feel so sorry for poor Zackery.  Give him an extra hug from me, ok?

I'm going to do what people are telling me to do too...go to bed.

So, I'm locking the door on this topic and opening a new one and I hope it's on page 2 or 3 by the time I get here in the morning!

Here's the link for it.
