Plus pictures, maybe? Some people might argue that if you've seen one example of a certain sort of car, you don't need to see further individual examples of that sort of car, but I really don't go for that line of thinking. Cars are people, too! No, that's not quite right--I think they're more like really big pets. Confession: Sometimes I pat Charlotte on the corner of her trunk and tell her that she's a good car. Yeah, 'tis true....Abbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08006869065347995309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6957758174408171291.post-71954606111663508362008-07-13T12:09:00.000-06:002008-07-13T12:09:00.000-06:00Oh Abby, you're right!

You would laugh if you saw the cars I drove as in the UK we do have funny little cars to choose from. I still love my car, and I am so grateful that it holds all my sports equipment and doesn't require me opening the bonnet (hood for you US peeps) and disconnecting the fan so the battery didn't die... those were the days.<BR/><BR/>I suspect your doc managed to say 'you're too thin' more delicately than me, and I know i've been pushing it, but you know, I hope, that it comes from a place of love and care for you (and I am very attached to your bones and endocrine system....). I will tell you that when I was underweight I was CRAZY, really crazy. Gaining weight, too, with all the shifts in my body made me SUPER CRAZY, but not I am pretty stable in my weight I am only a little bit crazy :-)<BR/><BR/>Love you, missy Brie. Have fun this weekend and be in touch.zubeldiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09540610591568098744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6957758174408171291.post-23376484572404606682008-07-11T19:02:00.000-06:002008-07-11T19:02:00.000-06:00That is so cool you have a new car!

My doctor didn't officially diagnose me but said I had symptoms of bipolar. Bipolar NOS, really -- not major bipolar I or II. <BR/><BR/>In the mixed state, my mind was racing and one minute I'd have a good idea and the next second I'd think "This is the worst idea EVER" and I was uber depressed and anxious at the same time which makes one very impulsive. Mixed states are often when people try to kill themselves because not only do they feel absolutely horrible and effing crazy, but they now have this major impulsive energy to just go for it.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, it was the closest to batshit crazy I have ever, ever felt, and it was miserable. It sounds kinda like what you went through and I'm so sorry that you had to go through that. Hopefully the new meds will even things out quickly.<BR/><BR/>And hey, it doesn't hurt to have a BRAND NEW CAR! Mmmmm, new car smell. Love it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
