Sesame Street: Norah Jones Sings Don't Know Y

Excellent Music. Perhaps I'm ready to sleep.

Sesame Street: Andrea Bocelli's Lullabye

Makes me laugh.

Songs to listen to when you can't sleep

Fair WARNING: The sounds are actually meant for an incurable insomniac. My alternative advise: Just don't let the bed bugs bite!

Gmail Keyboard Shortcuts Improve Productivity

Gmail Keyboard Shortcuts Improve Productivity One of the biggest arguments I've heard against using Gmail is that desktop clients like Thunderbird and Outlook offer better keyboard shortcut support. To this I say NONSENSE! Gmail includes great keyboard shortcut functionality, you just have to turn it on. You will also have a small learning curve because the Gmail keyboard shortcuts are different than those found in Outlook and Thunderbird. The great thing is, if you turn Gmail shortcuts on once, they work from any computer. The 5 Gmail Shortcuts I use most frequently are: c - creates a new email message. Use Shift+c to open the new message in its own window. / - puts the cursor in the search box. Email search is probably something I do more than any other email fuction. u - takes back to your inbox view from any message. j - moves down the message list taking you to the next older message than the one you are currently on. x - checks the box next to a message.

One last word

Before I sign off, I just have this to add: As much as I would like to (appease my sister and) go back to my psychiatrist, if I had the choice, I'd really like to move on with my life and not get stuck for another millenia indulging in psycho-babble. I'm helping the doctor more than I'm helping myself at this point. A prayer: May God give me the decency of having a "say", a "choice" in what I'm in this world for. I hate to waste (my talk time) out on some psychiatrist (who will only meddle with my thoughts). Maybe I can do it for a couple of weeks but that's the limit for sure. Signed, Adorina

Overcoming low grade Depression

Overcoming low grade Depression : "As depression is a state of mind, being with positive people and things can help you overcome negativity and misery. Keep company with people who are positive and easy to be with. Avoid people who like to criticize or complain." In all 20 years of psychotherapy, this is the Best Advise I've heard of yet!

Objective: Objectivity!

Been to the Doctor (psychiatrist) today, as advised by my doctor sister...before looking for another one to hear my newfound physical complaints. Exclamation 1: I've never talked to him since 2006! Exclamation 2: And it was only yesterday when I had a civilized conversation with my sister. Addtn'l Bit of Record Trivia: Plus I'm 45 and I've never been to a doctor for the longest time (for general check-up anyway). Record Trivia #2: I've taken up Medical Transcription when I was not under his mutilation er...monitoring. Don't tell me having a sense of dry humor is all that bad. Points to ponder: Basically, he says I'm more in focus ...more than he had ever seen me before. That would mean anytime during the whole length of time I've been seeing him since the early '90s. I haven't been taking my medicines since 2005 or 2006, and apparently I've done well without them (...and something he overlooked completely...him!) He didn't prescribe any..
