Grrrrrrrr!!! Blogger's new beta version apparently doesn't like Mozilla Firefox (at least not at Erica's joint), but works just fine in Microsoft Internet Explorer.
On top of that, now the Munuvian weblogs (at least for Bou, Harvey and T1G) appear to intermitently utilize Klingon punctuation in Firefox, while once again performing admirably in Explorer.
Would someone please take out a cluebat and whack the good folks at Google upside the head? They need to work out all the bugs before they unleash the new beta version. And they need to quit fooling the hell around with the old version at the same time. Arghhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!

_____
Egads! Even Chicago's finest aren't all that fond of Big Brother.
_____
For anyone out there who is struggling with depression and feels isolated and alone, go read this right now.
You are not alone, and you will be surprised at the support you get when you start being open about your struggle and the steps you are taking to regain control of your life.
How do I know?
My friends and family shocked and amazed me when I finally admitted I had a serious problem and sought help for it. I still struggle with panic attacks from time to time, but not nearly as much as I did for a while there. And one of the most healing things for both the depression and the anxiety was finding out that I wasn't alone -- or didn't have to be unless I chose to.
Many people were aware something was very wrong with me, but didn't know how to approach me to ask. Once I opened the floodgates of conversation, however, I got more support and love than I ever dared hope for.
There are a lot of bloggers out there who are publicly dealing depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety and more. Moody Mama and Bloggo Chicago are probably two of my favorites, because they hold nothing back about their illnesses. Fearless -- just farookin' fearless -- ladies. (And Dooce. How in the world did I forget to include her?)
I doff my hat to Danny and Angie and Barb (and Heather) and anyone else who's willing to open themselves to honest self-examination, let alone share it with the rest of the world.
And if you're sitting at home feeling helpless and isolated -- pick up the phone and call your family doctor. Ask for a referral. Take those first steps back out of bleakness. If you don't like the first therapist, fire 'em and get another one. You can do it. I know you can.

Finally, school systems across the country are sitting up and taking notice that not all kids want to be or should be on a college track. We need more skilled laborers -- especially in an economy when some college grads can't make much more than minimum wage with their bachelor's degrees alone. (In fact, I worked for one consulting firm that would require MBAs for candidates for entry level secretarial positions because there was such a glut on the market at the time. Disgusting.)
Offering the option of a good, solid vocational track in addition to a college prep track is just common sense.

In my family, food is and has always the center of the universe. Ask any member of my immediate family about their most recent trip, and before you hear about any local sites you'll get a complete run-down of restaurants visited, a complete description and critique of each meal ordered, and a report on service and ambience. Oh. And we went the beach. It was nice.
When my dad was going through a bit of a mid-life crisis and my mom chided him about his weight, his response was, "Leave me alone. Eating is my only pleasure left in life." He got over the "only" bit eventually, but eating being one of his chief pleasures never stopped.
Most of my good friends know I'd rather have a savory than a sweet for dessert. However, on occasion, when the pastry chef is particulary well known for his or her decadent goodies, I will indulge. While visiting Santa Fe, New Mexico, a friend and I treated ourselves to dessert and coffee at the Anasazi Restaurant at the Inn of the Anasazi (at the time rated a 4-star restaurant). My friend had a lovely apple tart with caramel and white chocolate sauces, while I indulged in a huge pot of cappucino creme brulee. So huge, in fact, that I could not finish it. It was a sinfully, silkily sexy whisper on my palate. The taste buds were tempted, but the tummy was done. We had no mini-fridge in our hotel room, so there was no way to take a doggie bag. I practically wept. I threatened to roll around in my plate and wear the rest of it home, rather than leave any behind.
Where is all this leading to?
Well, it seems this passion for foods -- particularly decadent foods -- runs in the family:

On the drive from Helen back into Atlanta last Sunday, I was listening to a terrific oldies rock station. It has had the unfortunate effect, however, of planting these alternating earworms in my skull. I must admit that if I've gotta have earworms, these are better than most.

| What Your Bathroom Habits Say About You |
 You are a giving soul. Way too giving in fact. You often get stuck doing the dirty work that no one else will do. Your look is put together, classic, and stylish. You always look fashionable without trying. You are a very outgoing person. You are true to yourself, and you never hold back. In relationships, you are practical and realistic. You have a romantic side, but you only let it out when it's appropriate. |
(A tip of the cap to Deb at Accidental Verbosity.)

| You Are Balanced - Realist - Powerful |
You feel your life is controlled both externally and internally. You have a good sense of what you can control and what you should let go. Depending on the situation, you sometimes try to exert more control. Other times, you accept things for what they are and go with the flow. You are a realist when it comes to luck. You don't attribute everything to luck, but you do know some things are random. You don't beat yourself up when bad things happen to you... But you do your best to try to make your own luck. When it comes to who's in charge, it's you. Life is a kingdom, and you're the grand ruler. You don't care much about what others think. But they better care what you think! |
Hmmm...

| Your Life Path Number is 6 |
 Your purpose in life is to help others You are very compassionate, and you offer comfort to those around you. It pains you to see other people hurting, and you do all in your power to help them. You take on responsibility, and don't mind personal sacrifice. You are the ultimate giver. In love, you offer warmth and protection to your partner. You often give too much of yourself, and you rarely put your own needs first. Emotions tend to rule your decisions too much, especially when it comes to love. And while taking care of people is great, make sure to give them room to grow on their own. |
That's enough of that for now.
