    Newsie: AMA

    Er...neither, sorry. I know you're a fan, but both shows were always too cutesy and wholesome for me. Keep in mind that as a pre-teen I was already reading Stephen King and Hunter S Thompson. That said, I did watch some frogawful shows as a tween. I don't think I could handle Gilligan's Island...

    Dealing with depression and anxiety

    That's terrible. I'm sorry. As one who has dealt with weight issues off and on, I can tell you that regarding yourself as unattractive -- or listening to anyoen who bodyshames you -- is unproductive, and does NOT help you overcome bad habits or increase self-esteem. Exercise for your long-term...

    Playing? No. Watching? Yes. I had season tickets to the FSU Seminoles baseball games (my mom went there for her MSW degree while I was in high school), and I was able to attend several Tampa Bay Lightning hockey games. Both are sports which are far better experienced AT the game in stead of...

    The New What Made You Frown Today Thread

    And for productivity. Most companies are understandably not pleased with their employees goofing around online instead of doing their jobs, so in most places, web access is limited or even prohibited. It's just one of those things that has become commonplace. My office has a very strict policy...

    Blocking web access at work is par for the course these days.

    Dealing with depression and anxiety

    You have mentioned some things they've said which seemed a little questionable. Did they really call you fat? I mean, that's a degrading term.

    *Carl* YELLING & THEN EATING STUFF! THANK YOU! OK, not eating anything still moving... I've been working on stress release techniques. Right this moment I'm hooked up & lying down at the plasma clinic, which is relaxing. (Not kidding.) Sometimes I pop in a fave movie; very glad the new MST3K...

    A none too happy update

    Hey, I can't say I have had as much abuse as an adult, but most of my childhood & teen years I was the target of mockery. And spent my 20s & much of my 30s severely depressed. So, if ever you want to vent or just chat, hit me up. I only recently stopped back in here, & I miss you as well.

    MST3k

    Joel's cameos are fab. And the movie choices thus far are wonderfully hideous (I've seen the first 3 eps as of this posting). Dear frog but what were the filmmakers thinking in Cry Wilderness? Was that a kids' film? A weird comedy? A faux-nature film using up the various feral animals the...

    Father-in-law-to-be gave us a shipment of black bar Endler's guppies, with the caveat that we raise them and he'll take some of the offspring. Doling out 10 breeding pairs among our aquariums was...challenging. But I'm happy we have some cute new pishies!

    Happy Easter!

    We used dyes, but also markers, gold paint, googly eyes, xacto knives and even superglue. My nephew made a wicked Portal robot egg.

    It's been gorgeous here -- highs in the mid-60s, lows in the high 30s -- but yeah. VERY muggy. We've actually been turning the A/C on at night!

    Goals You Want To Set

    What about more tangible goals? Trying to exercise more, and to avoid stress eating ice cream. I need to lose a few pounds.
