Please excuse my horrible posts yesterday.

I think I have overloaded my brain with so much negative news that I could barely see straight.

I really need to give my brain and heart a break from the very depressing news of late. I feel very sad and depressed and it showed. For that I am sorry.

I think I just need a really good cry. I hope this post isn't a mistake. Damn.

Please forgive me.


See you in the funny pages.

I wasn't on line for the past week, so I didn't see your posts, but I can understand how you might feel about all the horrible news piling up around the world. I've been skipping the front section of the newspaper lately because I can't stand all the human stupidity.

Go for a long walk, sit looking at the clouds, whatever is relaxing for you. Everyone needs to do this sometimes.

No need to apologize for feeling depressed yesterday. We all get that way...it is just natural, especially with all the horrible RWing crap going on in this country right now.

The Hydro-electric dams will come down but I think it is in 2020. The film maker has a new one coming out about water being diverted from a Southern Calif. reservation to feed some cities, and their legal battles.

Best Wishes, ADW

Because EVERY DAY during that joke of a Presidency was orders of magnitude worse than any random day since.

Good advice. Take a break and don't beat yourself up about things you can't control, ever.

We've all had crappy days. I think most of us here have a few posts we'd like to take back, we're human.

Take care and don't beat yourself up. We'll still be here when you're ready to come back.

you feel sorry for being negative. I didn't see your "bad" post, but there's hope for us when folks still have a conscience when they feel they hurt someone.

Thanks for sharing. I think I may have one wet eye, maybe two, not crying, just a bit touched.....

You are right about the negative news (wherever on TV they still have news in the evenings). Maybe that's why they're giving us so much junk because they realize bad news makes people feel bad. Trust TV to solve all our problems...

Take a break. DU will be here when you get back, refreshed.
