Hi Kalera,

I'm very sorry to hear about your Depression! Keep in mind that
Depression is about having too much in your head, so try to lighten
your load a bit. I have discovered that at least half of my
dibilitation has been ADD. For years I have been told that you can
only have ADD as an adult if you had it as a child, and my mother has
absolutely insisted that I did not have it as a child. Of course,
genetics are a strong influence with it, and people with ADD would see
their child as being normal just like they are! My doctor convinced
me to try Adderol, and OMG I became functional again.

I don't like google for newsgroups either, but my service provider to
me that news groups are just not a priority.

The day after Pete got out of jail our Toyota truck's engine seized,
leaving us with just our big, gas guzzling firewood truck. About a
week later we found a Checker Marathon. It has a HUGE back seat.
Easily big enough for my 6' 3" son, or "Little Pete", my step son who
is 6' 4" and weighs close to 300 lb.

Love your beads -- and you.

Tina

Hello everyone... it's nice to see your sweet virtual faces on RCB
again! Navigation through Google is a little confusing, I wish I still
had a news service I could subscribe to via my mailreader.

I'm having a very hard time since Sooz died. My uncle also died
unexpectedly on Thursday and there's some other rough stuff going on.
I'm pretty emotionally exhausted and I think truly depressed for the
first time in my life. I don't want to be a downer though so I won't
go on about it. I will say that my kids are all lovely and strong
and healthy, and I'm still making beads.
