59. please take care of yourself
no, i have not tried any meds or wished to try any, i think some of this may be a genetic thing, if i was going that route then reagan would have pushed me over the edge WAY before now

but they do say that most people in the new orleans area now are on some kind of meds, not sure if i believe it, seems to me you can hardly find a doctor to begin with, but that's what they say
:shrug:

most of human history is wars and rumors of war, sometimes you either have to laugh or you cry

maybe try to browse the cartoons for a few days and look at the funny side of it? or skim bartcop, yes, silliness, but sometimes it pays off in mental health to get a little silly
