It's doing new stuff that keeps you young, not antiwrinkle cream (she says defensively)<BR/><BR/>Re: 'printing' - I learned to 'touch print' several years ago after mum said "If you can type you can always get a nice little job." A shit, badly paid, nice little job but a job. Mind you if I were Editor of The Times my mum would still describe it me as having "a nice little job, but have you seen the state of her teatowels?"Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16329937118727831213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2235466434053435852.post-65531681653314658682008-10-10T15:45:00.000+01:002008-10-10T15:45:00.000+01:00Intraweb... love it... aren't mums great? and mad,...Intraweb... love it... aren't mums great? and mad, obviously. Mine's been doing a computer course (at 68! love her for that!) and she was explainging to me one day how frustrating it was leaning how to print, that they'd spend a whole lesson on it but she still couldn't do it. It was really frustrating her. I found this a bit confusing. Printing? A whole lesson? Yes, she said. And she could still on do it with two fingers, she said.... She's still calling typing, "printing" almost 6 months later....Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03888867108777389254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2235466434053435852.post-29379990365399045082008-10-03T19:10:00.000+01:002008-10-03T19:10:00.000+01:00It's the only illness I can think of where the suf...It's the only illness I can think of where the sufferer can be made to feel ashamed for being ill. Don't know if you've read Shoot the Damned Dog by Sally Brampton but I found it brave and inspirational.<BR/><BR/>We should keep talking about depression - drag it into the light, where it can be examined, scrutinised, and maybe dismantled. And it's heartening that the film has had such a positive impact.<BR/><BR/>xJanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16329937118727831213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2235466434053435852.post-20830742582973993032008-10-02T14:10:00.000+01:002008-10-02T14:10:00.000+01:00Oh my gosh, what a film!

I've been suffering from depression on and off for a few years and I've lost count of the "friends" who think I should snap out of it.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for linking to the film.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
