I've rather have the smell of fish instead of the smell of chlorine any day! I've always had a love of trees. We went to the redwood forest in California and it was one of the best experiences of my life!

It's beautiful that even though there are so many differences between each individual, we can still have some of the same memories and experiences. I love it!

Congrats! Here's to a happy healthy family with the bad times in the rear view =)

I'm getting ready to go through a pretty large collection of stamps and get rid of most of it. It's going to be a challenge but needs to be done!

Al least they didn't come away empty handed!

Kaveh is published and the cool thing is he shares a lot of current poets work that I would have never heard of. It's easy to find good classic poetry but current artists are everywhere and not always

Low seratonin levels have been linked to depression for a long time, but it isn't as simple as that. A lot of research shows that damaged neural pathways are a main symptom behind clinical depression.

Thank you =) I see you like poetry. An old friend of mine, Kaveh Akbar, got me into reading his poetry. It's hit and miss for me on what I like but a good way to relax!

I was a kid in the 80s so those are the ones closest to my heart. Voltron, He-Man, GI Joe, Mask, Transformers, TMNT... There are so many! But my wife and kids also have favorites that I enjoy watching

Looks awesome. Just as important as the inside of the house is the outside. Looks like a great place to relax or gather with friends!

Thanks, looking forward to it!

Thanks for the offer. I will let you know if I need any help

Thank you for the kind words!

Thanks for the welcome =)

Wow, 5 dogs! Mine is a chihuahua, yorkie, mini poodle mix. I grew up with big dogs so she is hilarious to watch

Beardgang, i like the sound of that. Thanks for the welcome =)

I wonder what it is about boxes and bags that cats find so comforting. My inlaws have a cat that would try climbing into each one that came through the door. Even plastic grocery bags and tiny kid's shoe

Hell yeah! Grammar nazi bot, I love it!

Sometimes real, clinical depression can only be helped by professionals. Talking to someone might help short term but without fixing the underlying problem it will keep coming back. Often there is a chemical

Feeling depressed can be made better with doing something you enjoy or taking your mind off of the mood. If your depression is ongoing then seek professionaal help if possible.
