I understand being clinically depressed myself. I been on a low too. Try not to be alone that helps.
Sending another hug.
Yeah I thought they were cool. Until I got stung three times on Saturday. And went into a panic when I saw a ginormous one yesterday and went running out of the water.
It was just weird because that particular beach doesn’t usually have them, which is why it’s a beach that is nearly always “apto para el baño.” Oh, and it hurts when they sting you. A lot.
I’m feeling better now, the bad cloud comes less and less often these days 
My mother was stung by a jellyfish (agua viva, they called it in Cuba) when she was 7. She STILL remembers how much it hurt. I don’t envy you your experience.
But…are you STILL in South America? Hot damn, Casilda, how long IS your Christmas break anyway?:eek:
Sorry to hear about you being stung. In Florida their plentiful at times. Their stinger “arms” can be over 6 feet long. OOPPS now you will never visit me. :eek:
Had my laptop stolen of my desk at work a couple of weeks ago. That weekend I got a call from a random person who saw it for sale at an Oakland flea market. Called the cops but they didn’t show up until 3 hours later. Anyhow, the guy took a video of the dude trying to sell my MacBook for $500. Just for fun here is a screen cap taken just seconds before the dude throws a swing at the good Samaritan behind the camera phone.
I went last weekend and couldn’t see the dude or my computer. Luckily almost all of the data were backed up and insurance covered half the cost of the replacement (after deductible).
Maybe the video should find its way on to Youtube…
Here they’re called medusas. I find the name to be much more appropriate than jellyfish.
And I’m still here (diss research woot) but I’m going back to the great cold north later this week.
LOL! Leah, as long as I don’t have to go near them, I’ll be fine 
Do not worry there are warning signs when there is a jellyfish problem.
Stupid eBay seller sold me a SNES converter that isn;t right, and is goofin’ around being a frakking dimmock rather than accepting they sold me an incorrect item.
So, here goes the 3 month long eBay complaint procedure!
I think you are due a cool crap thing in your life.
Me too.
Time to go talk to the adoption people I reckon! :o
My home state of Missouri got ranked 7th Ugliest State in the Union by the Daily Beast. I admit Harry S. Truman wasn’t exactly a romance cover model, but we did produce Brad Pitt, thank you very much.
Makes you wonder what the other top 10 are.
You mean bottom ten. Let’s see
#51 (Look, I didn’t number them) North Dakota
#50 South Dakota (pattern?)
#49 Mississippi (Show me.)
#48 Wyoming (sucks to be a midwesterner, apparently. Or is that just west?)
#47 Nebraska (The pix on the site are all counter-examples)
#46 Ohio (well, not all the pix)
#45 Montana (Us coasties have it good, it seems.)
#44 Missouri (Misery)
#43 Vermont (aka, NYC for ugly rich people)
#42 Louisiana (Napoleon robbed us.)
Skipping ahead.
#1 District of Columbia (The GF is proof of that.)
#4 Connecticut (I’m proof of that.)
Number 6 WHAT UP
Florida number 5. Not bad.
Hey, Massachusetts is right behind you guys at #7!
My car’s decided that there’s not enough going on in my life and turned on its “check engine light.” Frakking cylons!
Look under the bonnet, is it still there? HUZZAH! ENGINE CHECKED!
(monkeys car advice is meaningless and she has destroyed 4 cars in 8 years)
We’re Yanks. Our cars don’t have bonnets.
Frakin’ Tea-slurpers…
