Hang tough, Brother...

Yes, I know how hard it is to smile with all that is happening...

Thankfully, my Wife and I make each other laugh...

That’s the kind of honesty that keeps this place real. The world’s mean right now and it takes work to stay soft.

A little shopping, some Cabernet, and a live chat with friends sounds like the perfect reset. Glad you’re keeping your spark lit. See you and Mooch at 7.

I talked on a video with Wendy the Druid yesterday about Seasonal Affective Disorder. Don't know if that's what you're experiencing, but... 'Tis the season for depression.

I’ve actually been feeling somewhat better after Tuesday. And I think what ever happens with Trump is going to happen soon.

Thanking Mr Mouthy and understanding your situation!

rumps so vile, my ill friend' s Dr. told him to limit thinking about rump! Only 15min a day would speed his recovery! So your not the only one to get overdose of rump lying poison! Me too friend!

Keep the faith and never weaken!

I've read more than one article about the deepening of the mental health crisis due to the antics and politics of donald tRump and his hateful coat tailers.

For me, the best antidepressant (since not smoking bud in decades) is a nice bottle of Grand Cru St. Emilio.

Another great antidepressant is a Big Beautiful Blue Tsunami!

I may have mentioned this to you before, but I actually had to go on antidepressants/anti-anxiety meds back in March because of this exact reason.

I also do a gratitude meditation and a sleep meditation to help me fall asleep. With my swimming, yoga, and gym, it's all helping.

I’ll do my best to be with you at 7pm. I’m in VA, EST, I’m still not sure about the time zone differences across the USA. So I hope Substack will send out an alert, when you’re going live. Or I hope they do.

Like you, I’ve been feeling very isolated and lonely lately. I’m trying not to become depressed. Fortunately for me, I have a new therapist to meet up with next week. So just being with you today, will help get me through the weekend. I have a question. Someone asked me if I was an empath? Not sure what it means. Does Mrs M know? Could you be overly sensitive too? An Empathetic Person? Maybe that’s why you β€œfeel” as deeply and as raw as you do. I’d be interested in hearing any thoughts from you, and otters on that. I’ll leave it open. Thanks. Be with you later.

Do I just put my email address here Jason (for you to send Lzzy Halestorm stuff as we said on your live chat) or where/how to I send my email address to you? I Loved being with you and everyone on your live chat. Please let’s do that again. I’ve never joined in a live chat before. Just goes to prove how much a need like minded friends to hang out with. I’m lovely living in a red county in VA can be difficult, but so far no one has been a wanker. Fuck them if they try. I’m a very mouthy Londoner. They would soon be told where go and how to get there! Keep up the great work you’re doing. Love to Libby the mooch. Your gorgeous pooch. Always. Deb.

It will email you a link if you're a subscriber when I go Live. Otherwise, it should show up on a PC or laptop near the top of the home screen. Looking forward to seeing you there, hopefully!

I’m one of the people being affected by tRUMPS illegal movements. It’s coming at the time that I’m being affected by thiefts - good grief! What is happening? One break in and they stole the TV my grandson had given me. Another, they stole $500! Someone used my bank card number and stole $90! There was another, but I’m so overwhelmed with those, I can’t remember what it was at the moment! You can see, even $5 is out of my reach at the present time. 😱 Ahhhhh

Take Mooch and go outside and walk for a while to have that change of scenery., You also might lay off reading every blooming thing. I have found that helps. Also the Dworkin report is uplifting and Jack Hopkins give you a way to get a stronger outlook and keep you feeling more positive. Hope you feel better

Don't forget that we're still dealing with the end of daylight savings! That always takes me a while to adjust to. It's only been a week. You got this! πŸ‘Š

I know what you mean, my mind is reeling with all of this stuff dump is doing to the middle and lower wage earners.
