Since we've started the chat I've had my windows distorted to different sizes so I can view more than one at a time.
Subject line: WILLOW FLOWER HERB
Opened it and this is what it said,
E-mail this to a friend with urination problems.
If you can't urinate, you will in a few weeks. If you are urinating frequently during the night, that will stop. If this by chance does not work for you, we will refund your money. Willow Flower strengthens the prostate, has been shown to get rid of the swelling. Get started and watch. We do not fully understand how this herb works but we have seen it work over 90% of the time. (Not FDA tested or approved) These cases include frequent urination, urination blockage, some effect on erection problems and more. Willow Flower Herb comes from Finland and has been in North America for a short time.
This is not a capsule or tablet. It is pure wild grown herb that you make tea out of. Tea is the best method to use in order to get the maximum benefit from an herb. Warm liquid that extracts the nutrients from the herb while simmering is far more potent then ingesting a pill.
Willow Flower Herb has a history of working well with women's urinary problems as well.

Haven't been capable of such humour. Not been a well bunny. Tis a mystery. Is funny though.
Contemplated the exit door but zoloft rescued me.
How much seretonin does it take to change a light bulb...who needs light when I'm blinded by blue static in my mind.
Email thing? Flushed it down the cyber bog talk about insane! hopefully was a joke someone was playing if not then there's hope for me yet.

Oh sweetie, I fear you've developed "multiple personality disorder." I much prefer your kitty personality versus this bunny one.
> Contemplated the exit door ...
The only exit sign you are allowed is the one on a plane that plants you here in the colonies. Start saving your pennies by the pounds, because I'm hoping to get our chat crew together in the summer. We can plan a proper tea party and what would that be without a Brit who doesn't do tea?
> How much seretonin does it take to change a light bulb...who needs light when I'm blinded by blue static in my mind.
Tis only the season. I've always loved the autumn, but now it's starting to be drag since it seems to be doing a number on us all. My head is in such a tizzy I even stood Kazoo up. The guy finally invites me out for a night of earthly pleasures and I missed it. I want to blame something, but it doesn't really help. I guess we just need to bunker down and wait for the snow to fly. Once the ground turns into a fairyland and we all become snowblind, we'll be able to see the beauty through all the static.
> Hope your doing well.......
Here comes the guilty part. I made a blunder. I went and took the mirapex again, the other drug just didn't stop the twitching. So for three nights I haven't slept well but haven't been tired during the day plus aches have subsided, but the con is it has turned me into a raving b** dog. I figured I could control this keep it under the covers, after all I am a big girl.
Wrong! I ended up reaming on the bride. Six days till her wedding. To make a long story short I'm all dressed up and no place to go.
I felt insulted by her and her other bridesmaid. And I ended up telling her this, and said that I wouldn't feel comfortable spending the day with their company. The big girl in me is saying I should apologize, but part of me is screaming that I've done nothing wrong just spoken the truth at an inadequate time. Perhaps I'm just being selfish?
> Temporarily beyond depressedreamer
Gees I wish I could give you more than a cyberhug. If I wake in the wee hours I'll check into the chat. Maybe our paths will cross ...

funny how, after a short time, you can feel so influenced by the "status" of some folks here on the board. I am so sad that you're not feeling well, dreamer. In some ways, I see you as the rebel leader, leading us into wild and crazy situations, but if you're not feeling up to it, we have nothing to do but sit and twiddle our thumbs...
How goes the painting? Do you paint at all during these times?

I have been a major B****h on Wellbutrin and Prozac (at the beginning) so I understand. I don't think there's anything you can do. It's uncontrollable and frightening.
What are the alternatives to mirapex? A young girlfriend of mine, 25, explained some symptoms to me the other day that sounded so similar to what my sister and I had experienced starting in 20's -- and I warned her that Dr.'s will not be likley to take her seriously, and to get together a list of tests she'd like completed first.
I think of you up in the cold Autumn - it was hot here yesterday - no good.

Again, why so normalized all of the sudden? I know this goes against some of my other postings, but I felt slightly hypomanic today, and I was so glad. If I could just keep it at a certain point... MY biggest problem is how self-destructive I get when manic.
My three dogs and cat, Schmeckle, send their best wishes.

> > Willow, Willow, bending in the wind, give in so you can wear a pretty (?) dress for a day and dance into the night.
Oh Krazy Kat the dress is beautiful and flattering to me. What happened was the two pounced on, I called to say that my feelings were hurt, I was in tears. I've been asked to step down. Oh well, probably for the best because in all honesty I don't think the tension between the two bridesmaids would have ruined the bride's day.
The thing that hurts is that it is me. The bride has complained about this other girl, her long time friend from the beginning saying she is going to ruin things. Well the bride was right, except she had managed to ruin it for me. : (
I tried an alternative but it didn't stop the twitching, the side effects were stronger than the pros of it, so I've started the mirapex again. It feels so good to be without the pain. So what if I'm a little frank?
My girl friend says she likes me more like this, that being a timid soul is not the real me. And it bothers her to see me this way. I guess real girlfriends stick together. : )
I would never make a good barbie-doll.

=== Going to one this weekend I should be in because of my intimacy with the bride but am not. There are many tensions and hurt feelings surrounding weddings, aren't there?

So what if I'm a little frank?=== Was the twitching from another med? Do you need yet Another med to offset the crankiness caused by the mirapex? (Isn't this all insane?) I don't think it's a problem if you're more open; but if you're short-tempered, suddenly, that's probably the med.

> ===I haven't had the ambition to write since early twenties...I have the desire but not the fortitude or the burning ambition to keep me going. Here's my latest plan to try and kick start me, forced writing for an hour. I guess it is called brainstorming, not sure of the correct word when it is done alone. Is it still brainstorming? No editting, thinking of the right word, or even a plot line. I figure once I get enough I can cut and paste, and just perhaps the hour will turn into a more productive thing, maybe even turn into a burning need?
Feel free to try it!

It's a good idea.

Brainstorming, with many or only one. Writing is re-writing. You never get it write (lol) the first time. There are two different aspects to creating: for example: when you write, first, the creative part where anything, I mean, ANYTHING, goes (DONOT WORRY ABOUT SPELLINGH VOR EXAMPLE) and second, the critical thinking, editing part. Dont put the two together. Do brainstorming. Put it away, later, pull it out and analyise.
That is all I know. I even have A BA Ed,Lanugage arts concentration, to prove it...

> === I'm sorry, I don't quite get this... who's the two?
The bride and her two bride's maids, one being me, went to get unsightly hairs waxed. The other bride's maid quite abruptly stated how much was to be removed from me. I was startled. Ouch!
The two are strangers to me, I'm a friend of the groom or at least was. My timing is always off. Well what's the saying? Always a bride never a bride's maid.
