My kitten arrives on Sunday!! Turns out though, that it might actually be a girl rather than a boy so we have decided that it shall be called Gandalf if it's a boy and Astrid if it's a girl. I am so excited!!!

Finding this.

Remember, I told you folks about going to Silver City with some friends and spending the night in a 180-year-old 'ghosty hotel'?. Turns out Haunted Highways did an episode which included Silver City. (Btw, if you want to see the full episode, you'll have to go to Hul*).

Thought I was behind on labwork in my Circuit II class, turns out I'm ahead!

Third therapist in 5 sessions... and I think that this one might fit.

She's very organised, is excited that I want to work hard instead of being intimidated and is totally on board with the goal of staying off medication.

Miss Absynthe · 11-21-2012, 12:35 AM

I'm not taking any medication.. that's why my goal is to stay *off* of it.

That's awesome MissA! A friend keeps recommending I go to therapy and get on meds, and I've refused it each time.

Miss Absynthe · 11-21-2012, 12:29 PM

Thanks.

I think that therapy is definitely worth it.. even if it's just to learn coping mechanisms to make things easier.. or at least make things not as difficult. But I also think that it is something that is going to just be a waste of time unless the person wants to be there.

I think that meds work for some people - and if people need them and they work for them, then that is great. But I also think that we over-pathologise and over-medicate to a huge extent.

therapy and medication is a joke, you don't need it and are better than them .. at least I hope

Miss Absynthe · 11-21-2012, 04:52 PM

Fuck off, Pothead.

Saya · 11-21-2012, 05:16 PM

We're all aware that pothead is a puppet troll of Kontan or Despanan, right?

ETA: Although if you google image his picture, he's either an elaborate ruse or real. Hilarious.

A facebook page, a street address, a google page, and a very odd video. I'm going with militant atheist christian impersonator friend troll now.

I managed to figure out what the problem with my MSN messenger was! For a few days, it has been lagging severely whenever I wanted to open a new chat or a popup came, and it could take several minutes to respond.
I tried virus scanning, removing malware, uninstalling and everything. Turned out it was when Java updated, it placed a new version of Java but didn't remove the old one, so I had two versions of Java conflicting on my machine.
After removing the old one, the problem went away.

Miss Absynthe · 11-22-2012, 03:39 PM

I can't use MSN messenger anymore.. it was driving me to despair by crashing constantly and lagging so much.

I wonder if it might be the same problem.

I use Skype and GTalk now.. I love them!

Timeless Rebellion · 11-22-2012, 03:47 PM

Miss A: It might be - regardless of the future of your MSN usage, I suggest you check this out as it can cause a variety of other problems on Java-based applications on your machine. Minecraft will lag like crazy if this affliction has hit you as well. And it is an ever-present problem whenever Java updates. For a big, world-wide application like Java, they sure suck at writing proper update extrating software...

Miss Absynthe · 11-22-2012, 04:11 PM

TR: I'll totes check on it. Thank you.

Timeless Rebellion · 11-23-2012, 04:41 AM

Miss A: You're welcome

honeythorn · 11-23-2012, 09:55 AM

I have just replaced MSN with Skype. Since Skype is officially replacing MSN sometime next year anyway I may as well just do it now.

The dog has been cheering me up with her daft antics. She's rather naughty and very cute. She jumps around like a jack in the box, and spins mid-leap when you prepare dinner because she's impaitient and excited.

She'd make a bloody good ratter ( which I was surprised to learn still goes on ) the way she can worm into small spaces down furniture/behind my back/under knees . Very determined to get the "rat" which is in facy my hand. She stands proper four square and really shakes her toys around . I can see why Jack Russels were/are used for ratting !!!

Congrats on finding a therapist that works for you.

Sometimes it's good to go on meds, to give you a break, so alternative therapies can have time to work.

I never wanted to go on meds, then decided I was sick of struggling along, went on meds, while I developed coping strategies and then came off the meds.

I agree we over medicate ourselves, but sometimes you just need to be kind to yourself.

WMMD:- not thinking about tomorrow, focusing on today, and listening to a segment on Radio National about the benefits of meditation practices - a nice gentle reminder that i need to meditate more!
