I usually keep mine in my back pocket which causes uneven wear on my jeans. However, I usually have long tops or sweaters to cover the bulge or unsightly square butt when doing that in dress pants (for days when I teach). Sorry that your lady jeans are storage-deficient.

I did have a friend ask me if I’d lost it on campus last spring. He was walking behind me and it wasn’t in my back pocket. I told him, no, I had it in my sweater pocket up front. Then I sarcastically thanked him for staring at my ass.

pocket on the inside or outside of the purse/bag. That’s how I keep mine so I can find it. I hate girl pockets; if only I were skinny enough to still wear boy jeans..

You should totally turn it into a children’s book. The imagination of a child is the greatest thing on earth.

You assume I have not been fighting ongoing depression as well. I just deal with it differently than society expects me to. I do not consider it a “disease to be cured” but rather a judgement by others of how I do not fit into the mold I am expected to.

Exactly how you are judging my response here based on what you are expecting me to say.

I was attempting to say that you should not believe other people when they call imperfections something that needs to be cured.

But then I guess it’s easier to call someone an “idiot and an ass” rather than ask them to explain exactly what they mean. *shrug*

you are an idiot and an ass. do you say the same thing to people who say things like my vision is fuzzy or whatever? no. clearly you have no idea what depression means. keep your medical diagnosis to yourself and leave it to people who have trained for it.

So, what you’re saying Lasivian is that when things are a slight improvement we should sit down and shut up a bout it and be grateful we got at least something? that makes no sense to me. if we aren’t striving for better than wtf is th point of doing anything?

“I cant focus, I fidget, I sucked in school, I can’t remember shit, i give up easily, I’m depressed”

You have a condition known as “being human”, it’s chronic and incurable, furthermore you shouldn’t let other people tell you is has to be cured.

Yes, let’s take a step in the right direction and make sure to call it not enough. That’s always the way to make progress.

Seriously, I think it’s shocking Disney made what they did. Is it perfect? not by a longshot, but it’s not Snow White either is it.

I want more reports on the salve and lotion projects! I am exactly the same kind of dork. I want my brain mapped – just out of curiosity. They can take pictures of your brain that show how a person with ADD’s brain looks different – I think they can do the same with other mental issues too. Even if I already know what my issues are – I would love to have a scan or a pic of my brain that SHOWS that shit so the next time someone says the only thing wrong with me is a lack of B12 – I can smack them in the face with science.

Ultimately – having a child is what made all my issues suddenly sharpen and become impossible to deal with or shrug off in ways I always had done before. Medication and therapy is what has made life bearable and made parenting possible. But everyone has to find their own road to mental health in the ways that work for them – maybe the activity of making natural salves and lotions feeds your spirit in a necessary way. If nothing else – you’ve got kick-ass home remedies to use.

The author was the daughter of our family doctor–”Dr Dudley” of Charleston, Illinois. I have in my possession a copy of the original printing of the stand-alone book “Bad Mousie” which my Mother gave me as a child. I always wondered how wide an audience it garnered–glad to see such a wonderful story is not forgotten..

Hi Wendy! I like to wear mine with boots and skirt!

I’m making a costume for my grand-daughter and needed “boots” so I searched for spats. But looking at the pictures, they are so adorable!!! The question I have is what is the fashion to show off your cute spats? Do you wear them with skirts? rolled up jeans? Does anyone have full outfit pictures?

Yes, and shoes. I also feel perfume and sunglasses should be on that list.

I know this isn’t the answer you seek, but I must say, the Venlafaxine (Effexor) has been life changing for me. It helps not only with the depression but also with the anxiety. I’m also not stoned all the time, either.

Have a really kick-ass birthday. Have such a kick-ass birthday that it needs a cigarette afterwards.

Then, mail me some plums.
