mamacita, we have quite a large group of fellow manic-depressives here in
Blogitvillea. It is why I am taking Wellbutrin, tho' I've just begun.
I have been on my own and unmedicated for decades, so it's been a hard row to hoe most months. Meds in my youth were vicious zombie making things, so I gave them up, embracing real life and all it's joys and horrors without them. But, a recent doc insisted and I tried and it has been a sweet release. Life is good.

Benzinha, I won't be here in 2077, so what do I care? LOL!! I just know that blogging, I think, has saved me...from the blackness that nibbles continuously at the edges of my soul...I am a depressive manic-depressive...and it gets real ugly in my world, sometimes....

I would rather not take any, maj, for just these reasons. I rarely, if ever
have been medicated for anything more than staph infections, or such. I don't do well with responsible routines, too flighty and scatter brained.
I will try to not make you have to come down here and arrange anything, gracias.

MayB, I don't want anybody to call. I get two calls a day usually, my
daughter and my girlfriend who is a harried foster mother of a teen and must download each evening, so as not to kill the dear boy. I will never own one, I swear.

maj, no exhilaration, just a burn. It was on fire and unable to stop it.
Wellbutrin must be taken as prescribed and I was getting confused about the hours and numbers of pills that I was taking, the longer that it made me stay up the more confused about days and nights and hours and pill numbers I became.
Doc said to cut it to one a day and then today go back to two, on a fixed schedule. So, I put the pill bottle on one side of the shelf with a sticky postit on it which reads a.m. and then after taking it, I put the bottle on the p.m. side of the shelf. No more confusion. I was going mad. Thanks for your concern.

Benzinha, just take care. The exhilaration of overtasking is fleeting.

Benzinha, it's OK if you only give the number to those you want to call you

vlogging would defeat the purpose then we would have to be looking our best all the time. I have a friend nearby who always wants to IM. I'
d rather speak.

Maybe we'll also get back to
long relaxing telephone chats... So much friendlier that Instant messages and you can't misspell anything.

maj, huffity puffity, I was amused by each generation's oneupsmanship.
I won't be audio blogging any time soon, unless it's to sing my favorite song, "Me Duele la Cara de Ser tan Guapa" My face hurts from being so beautiful........which it does first thing in the morning as I stare at the bathroom mirror and try to open my eyes.
That might be worth preserving for posterity.

I'm with you about cameras. Shovers up your spine, huh? I know that's how it feels.

Blogging meets a need not met by those others (video or audio). They are like ham radio, this is like a party line or something. I wish the pictures could be larger, maybe if we paid them extra...?
PS: they've been saying that about audio blogging for three years, and if it hasn't taken off in three years, it isn't going to.

Entirely possible !! By then gas supplies will be long gone - horse & buggy in vogue - cities dissembled - tiny towns revived - people: face to face once again!! (But, don't count on it.)
