Emma: I am really glad to hear that you have found a medicine that works for you. I have a lot of problems finding medicines that work for me too. some time ago I was diagnosed with narcolepsy, but all the stimulants that they tried for me would work for a short few weeks and then loose effectiveness, but a couple of months ago she finally prescribed one that works pretty well. At first it caused my mind and body to go super fast. I would just keep busy, busy,busy and wouldn't stop to eat or drink. Finally it leveled out and I'm on a ,somewhat, normal schedule. A lot of medicines don't work the same way for me as for others. Now they just recently started using some sort of genetic coding to help them find medicines that work better with my body. I hope it goes well. Also I hope that your retirement goes well. Just be sure to keep busy. I heard that some people that retire go down hill fast. Bree

@Monica: I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed The Well of Loneliness. I'm looking forward to reading it myself! @Bree: I'm sorry to hear about your narcolepsy. I can't imagine how tough it must be to have that to deal with, but I'm wishing you the best in finding a medication that helps you with it. Indeed, about retirement and keeping busy: that's a concern of my wife's. I've also heard about this and I promise that I will try. I think a key is to stay engaged with others and feeling some level of productivity, of being challenged, and getting things accomplished. That's relatively easy at a job because we have to, and harder when we're home alone. It takes a level of personal commitment, I think. I'm sure it will take a change in mindset, and I'm a little intimidated! Take care, Emma

Thank you sweety

I feel so bad for you and your family. I know what it's like to loose such a dear friend. A few years ago I had a miniature horse named peanut. We had been though a lot together.One day I found him with some really serious flesh wounds, some dogs had tore him up really bad. My neighbor gave me some medicine and told me what to do. Eventually he healed and grew his hair back. Well then a couple of years after that some stray horses came by and he found a hole in the fence and started running with them. I noticed him to be missing and went looking for him. It was so devastating to find his body and around my home I'm the undertaker if any pet dies. It hurt so much and I miss him a lot.

I miss our cat too. I miss the funny, weird things she did, and the recliner cuddles. She was awesome, and just suddenly gone and it's okay that it hurts. It's SUPPOSED to hurt. If it didn't, it would mean that you didn't love her, and you loved your cat a lot. We'll get through this, and everything will be okay. Not tomorrow, not next month, but soon and and bit by bit. I can be patient while we do, and you've been good about listening when I tell you how some of your behaviors make me feel. The fact that you CARE is really what matters most to me, not how succesful you are or aren't on a particular day. And the fact that you care about YOURSELF enough to get help to feel is huge. So many people with the various forms of depression just sort of form an identity around it, and accept that's how life is and don't stand up and say "I want to feel better". You're miles ahead of a lot of people, and I'm grateful for it. Love you, in all your cranky and quirky glory.

Update, came home today and the pass-book and documents arrived woohoo.

I agree! There is something neat about the little blue( it was blue when I got mine) books. I have no stamps as I'd never gone anywhere that required Visas. I basically only have it because we go to Canada and the Carribbean often and they tightened the laws. We HAD to have it for a cruise to Alaska because it stopped in Canada for literally four hours. Lol

Hi Briannah, Thanks for your reply. In my case I think they have kept my documents because I also applied for a pass-book which has not arrived yet and in a recent email it was indicated I may have up to three packages. On a side note, I really don't need the pass-book but thought, what the heck, get one

I seem to recall getting the paperwork we provided back with the actual passports. However take that with a grain of salt as this was like 8 years ago and I get confused about little details and Nikki didn't remember either way. I know I did get them back though as I would remember going through another round of the song and dance with the state department to get a copy of my birth certificate since I was navy born in Japan. I envy people who can just go to their birthplace and get the dang thing. The state department makes it such a production.
