All I'm going to say, Jim, is that depression is a horrible thing when left untreated. I have severe depression, but I at least have antidepressant medication and weekly meetings with a pshrink to fall back on. J.T. has neither. Hopelessness is a horrible thing for one so young to feel (something that one should never have to feel), and that's basically the reaction that your first post evoked. All I ask is that everyone here remember the first rule of communication: Once you say something, you cannot take it back. -- Turbo Journey

In reply to: Jim Ohki, man who is busy writing the Charter 's message, "Get the hell out? Um . . . NO. If you'd take your ass hat off, you'd see what I said was just a damned demotion. Yes, you're off the Council. Why? You have the MB to take care of, man. And you do stretch things too far. (contd.)" on 06:09:49 03/22/03 Sat

It's the truth, once you say something, you cannot take it back, because even if you pretend you never said it, someone will know, even if it is only you.

At this point, it doesn't really matter what manner of nasty insults were flung my way. While I would still like to know what was said, I can safely disregard it for reasons known to only me... If I am hated, then so be it. That is life; it is something I must live with. It would be a pity if I am hated that much around here, but still... *shrugs* Ah, well. As Menkin would say, "Catch ya on the flipside."

        Miss Kitty have you ever thought of running away
        Settling down will you marry me
        If I asked you twice and begged you pretty please
        She'd of said Yes in a New York minute
        They never tied the knot
        His heart wasn't in it
        Stole a kiss as he road away
        He never hung his hat up at Kitty's place -- Kay "Blaze" Magnus, 22:46:29 03/24/03 Mon
        Kay, have I ever told you how much damage a reed knife can do when utilized correctly? Actually, let me skip telling you, and use one to DEMONSTRATE ON YOU! (NT) -- Star S., 23:03:51 03/24/03 Mon
        Oh, Ms. Nave, how you literally wound me! I wonder if Silver gets this much fun out of tormenting J.T.... ^_^ (NT) -- Kay "Blaze" Magnus, 23:13:15 03/24/03 Mon
        B-)I don't know; I'll ask her next time I talk to her. As for you... Tch, you're not worth losing my temper over. Why bother, since it wouldn't do a bit of good...? ^_^ (NT) -- Star S., 16:23:36 03/25/03 Tue
        Not doing good is what I'm good for. ^_^ (NT) -- Kay "Blaze" Magnus, 21:36:31 03/25/03 Tue
