I've searched the forum, and can't find anything. Does anyone do the Luke Forehand hits? Does he ever grant quals?

I mean, what's a girl expected to do in a time of crisis!

Exactly! He's never amused.

I almost didn't know who you were with a new avi

I liked this post because of your sig

This has never been a good defense

But I've been using it for years

Only slightly related, I always think @tricker's avi is an elephant. (the little white footies are little tusks)

and how has that worked out for you?

It's one thing to be judging gallbladder surgeries quite another to be judging coronary artery bypass grafting. I can't handle that kind of pressure.

I'm going to anyways, because I want the .91

So since this is the mental health thread today...and I've mentioned depression a few times earlier...

I'm fast approaching my 15 year anniversary of losing my daughter. And guess what is creeping in? Depression. Why is this year any different from 14? It shouldn't be. It's just a number.

But now I'm wondering if I should talk to the doc about a temporary med that is faster acting to get through the next few months and make sure I don't spiral into a bad spot. Most of the time when I feel down I go hug my 12 year old and that is the only medicine I need. But lately...I hug him and think ,"You deserve a better mommy. One who doesn't do this every year." and then my smart brain says, "You're a great mom and a great example of how to deal with one of life's hardest experiences...and he will grow up and learn from you how to continue to function even when things are super hard. And he will learn it's ok to have bad days and good days."

Anyway. I know there are other parents out there who deal with stuffs and have kiddos who rely on them to stay stable. Hugs to all of you. It's not easy, but we can do it!

I don't tell this very often....but I lost my dad in 2003 from an unexpected accident. While I took it very hard for some reason this year on the anniversary of his death it hit me very hard. Why this year as opposed to other years is a question I wish I knew. I was wondering the same thing, why year 13? Everyone processes things differently at different times. Luckily I had his brothers (my uncles) to vent to and while they didn't have an answer why this year was different as far as grief goes it did help to talk to them. I don't personally know you but I wish you the best and hope you find peace knowing that it is normal to have these feelings and hope you find a resolution that helps you with your grief. I don't think the grief ever goes away, but I think as time goes on it becomes a little bit easier although some years are harder than others. You are very lucky to have your 12 year old to give you such great comfort. Sorry to ramble. I wish I knew the right thing to say.

I agree! These had me on the edge of my seat. I had one where the surgeon cut one! I about jumped out of my skin!

He's cyclical.

Pretty well actually. It confuses people when I yell "JADED SAID I COULD" and they just let me do what I want

Something like this can go a long way. I'm sure saying this is more than enough.

Hmm, I'm gonna start yelling @Princess Gina Marie GAVE ME PERMISSION! and see how it goes.

Hit Finder Beta & Hit Scraper not working. When I click on it, it pulls up the regular mturk site. Do anybody know what I can do to fix this problem?

Call me goofy but I probably wont get much work done...I'm watching the final of America's Got Talent. I'm not usually that involved but I really love this Grace girl. She is so easy to relate to & I love that she writes her own songs and most import of all she is original. I hope she wins but if not I think she will go places for sure.
