Well, I hope you feel better and I will say this:
The confusion I was feeling about the thread did not diminish it's entertainment value my friend! Also it reminded me I am out of beer and need to stop at the package store on my way home.
Good Stuff!
Thank you...my wife lives in a state of confusion around me...meanwhile, I live in Georgia.

Oh, just some depression after back surgery, diabetes and chronic pain. I really should not whine. I am very lucky and very blessed and just sometimes forget that I am.
Hope it went good for you this week. Any good news?

Interview went as good as I could have hoped.... but the interviewer (he was wearing shorts and a collared short sleeve shirt - that was strange) asked me if I knew a person... it was one of my former coworkers, who I did not know also interviewed for the job... Thought every answer I gave showed enthusiasm, knowledge, teamwork, etc etc etc.... he told me that a decision would be made yesterday and he would call..... my phone hasn't rung and neither has my friend's. As she said, 'no one wants us!'

Sorry to hear about the surgery and the pain. Backs are a tough thing - thankfully I haven't thrown my out in close to 10 years, but when I did it was bad.... I just have the depression you are experiencing....and that's bad enough

Well who knows, the phone may ring yet. My wife is very supportive and is a bright shining light when I get in these dark places, so I am truly blessed. Honestly, and this may sound weak, but if I had to choose to get rid of only one, pain or depression, I would get rid of the depression. It is a formidable foe.
Good luck with everything.

He once took the sword out of the stone using only his mind.

He has become a naturalized citizen of 11 countries, just by visiting Epcot.

When he makes ADR's, the chefs come to his kitchen.

If he's caught in front of a proposal photograph at Disney, its considered a sign of good luck and a healthy marriage.

When he rides Toy Story Mania once, he wins ALL of the prizes.

The Carousel of Progress was created based on his life.

He's actually flown the Astro Orbiter into space.

He is the grand marshall of parades that haven't even happened yet.

Mickey Mouse asked for his autograph.

Very creative.

Stay strong - hopefully this will pass. Physical pain on top of mental pain is a lot to deal with. It's great that you have a good support system. Depression is no joke. Try to focus on the positives - I know easier said than done. My husband had some depression issues not long ago - he's doing better now but watching the pain and not being able to help was brutal. Hope it turns around.

Thank you. The depression is harder to deal with than the pain, and being a typical male, that makes me feel weak, which is even more depressing. Vicious cycle. Good luck to your husband, and you.

I think we need some "Most Interesting Man the World" quotes related to Disney...

He once told false rumors to a bus a driver.

When he rides Expedition Everest, the Yeti always works.

(not very good, but you get the idea)

The most interesting man in the world once parallel parked a train.

He lives vicariously through himself.

He once had an awkward moment, just to see how it feels.

His beard alone has experienced more than a lesser man’s entire body.

His shirts never wrinkle.

He is left-handed and right-handed.

If he were to mail a letter without postage, it would still get there.

The police often question him just because they find him interesting.

On every continent in the world, there is a sandwich named after him.

Cuba imports cigars from him.

Mosquitoes refuse to bite him purely out of respect.

In museums, he is allowed to touch the art.

His business card simply says “I’ll call you.”

He has won the lifetime achievement award, twice.

If he were to punch you in the face, you would have to fight off the urge to thank him.

He bowls overhand.

He is fluent in all languages, including three that only he speaks.

He tips 100%.

Once while sailing around the world, he discovered a short cut.

His passport requires no photograph.

When he drives a new car off the lot, it increases in value.

Stay thirsty my friends.

I don't drink, but if I did I'd join him in a toast to him. I just like the way I feel better at Disney...even more interesting. I was feeling depressed and got a smile out of the line about parallel parking a train. It's just advertising that brought a smile to me when I was frowning and thought I would share it. Did not mean to cause confusion.

Got It !!!

Ok I was slow on that one. :hungover:
