I in NO WAY am minimising the impact on what has happened to another deppie- I plead with those of you who might not want to do this just to, well not!

So things are a bit blacker here than normal. Being an online society we can not have a wake or do many of the normal things people do when they are grieving.

So I thought perhaps, with the aim to share a little more of ourselves and to perhaps inspire and bring a smile to our faces we can post amazing stories, strange happenings or just random posts as something just a little different from the norm?

Heres something:

A man in the Kimberly lost his leg and half a foot in an accident, then crawlled 1km to get help. What a tragic story- but one of amazing human spirit!!

I got told by someone I very much respect that I was great at my job today (yay me)

I have too many stories of the stupid things I have done, I will think of something that will carry over well into a post- or you will just think I am weirder than normal...

Even with depression we can laugh sometimes ... between the tears... a couple of friends send me jokes... which make me smile sometimes... tv on the abc on a wednesday night makes me laugh... so it is a good idea you have...

take care

I was at the dentist today, laying back in the chair, glorious plastic oversized sunnies on, watching tv while the dentist was jabbing me with a supersized needle in preparation for yanking my tooth out...

I was watching a movie of marine life- tropical fish darting around, massive wrinkly old turtles eating their lunch, stingrays dancing in the sand, beautiful coral and sea anaemones brightening the dark seafloor...

Now I gotta say, the dentist is very straight laced, with wonky eyes that look anywhere

and everywhere EXCEPT at the person he's talking to... Very disconcerting to say the least!

His assistant's a fairly young, geeky girl who's probably never kissed a guy in her life... very meek but a good match for the dentist.

So there I was sitting there thoroughly on edge, watching all the bloody fish swimming around while he's got his hand in my mouth trying to pull my well rooted tooth out, while the assistants standing behind me with her hands around either side of my face, holding my chin tight so

I couldnt move, all the while saying- firm pressure... just a bit of firm pressure... your doing really well... just a bit more firm pressure...

Like give me a friggin break, I didnt need to be TOLD it was firm pressure, I could damn well FEEL it!!

So while all this was goin on, I was watchin th stupid fish swimming, the turtles eating, the stingrays dancing, the coral and anaemones adding colour...

And all I could think of, despite all that, was one of the final lines in the tv show "House" last night--
