Anti-Depressants and Chocolate Cake

So I was on AOL, still my email of choice (after 13 years of hating, comes acceptance) and there was a list of the top ten most searched antidepressants, including all the ones on television, cymbalta, lexapro, paxil, prozac, blahblah blah... and of the ten, i've been through seven (including the mouthful...da.da.da.... Trazedone). What does that say about me? Not much except that I had perscription happy doctors combined with an iron constitution.

On the brighter side of life, if anyone who reads this has driven by a Del Taco any time and NOT stopped by for their chocolate cake, then you should remedy this situation immediately. That chocolate cake should be on that antidepressant list, let me tell you.

Hello from nowhere


I found this girl on some ebay post...with good quality scans. Those are hard to come by these days, what with everybody putting their watermarks everywhere. I collect old photographs... I think I'm petrified to think that one day, my photos will be destined for the garbage bin... maybe it's a tiny bit of my vanity that keeps me rescuing other peoples lost relatives. I once bought a whole box of photographs of one particular family...the last living relative was in a nursing home and the womans estate went up for auction... so I have all of her mother's photographs now... They smile down at me and I wish I had stories to go with their smiles... but alas...

I run my families website, right now through ancestry.com, and busy myself preserving old letters, newspaper clippings, photos, bus tickets... I wonder just how much of this old stuff anyone else is ever going to care about. I wonder if what I am doing is really just a waste of my own time?
