Hai guise! →[More:]Lot's changed since last time I posted here. First, 300mg of wellbutrin per day! Second, I got laid... Off.

I wondered where you went!

Is the wellbutrin for smoking, or mood? Regardless, I hope you find it agrees with you.

Argh, sorry about the layoff... not a good time for it, economically, though I guess there's never a GOOD time to get laid off. Did you get a decent severance?

Hi pie! GF and I are contemplating camping. I thought of you a lot. Hope you're well.

Well, I'm relatively well. The first thing I did when I lost my job was to cruise on up to the zen monastery... Seriously, that's been the thing that is anchoring my life. Without my practice, I'd be a far bigger mess than I am. Pup, if you want to meet half way, in southern Oregon or northern cali, let me know!

And this is not to deny that I AM a mess.

Mainly, I'm just rather shocked that my login still works here. I thought for sure I'd be banned!

That can be arranged, if you wish ;-)

Hi, pie! Good about the wellbutrin, bad about the laying off :(

But good about the monastery. :)

News here: gomichild is having a baby - like right now, gaspode is having a baby - but not right now. Chewy got a new pup, Grace got two new kitties and a new job, I'm getting a rescue dog if all goes well. Lilywing is getting married, scarabic is not getting married in Vegas right now, elizard and bitteroldpunk are an item... I'm forgetting some things.

I'm just going to miss drinking with Specklet.

Also, 70mg of prozac/day! Woot! I don't think I could live without my pharmaceutical helpers. Thank God it's the 21'st century.

posted by pieisexactlythree 15 May | 03:20

dg, I thought you'd arranged that.

posted by pieisexactlythree 15 May | 03:21

Anyhoo, My homies are going to get me free admission to this, so I'm happy.

posted by pieisexactlythree 15 May | 03:27

dg, I thought you'd arranged that.
Nah, if I was to do that, I'd have to ban myself as well for much the same reasons.

posted by dg 15 May | 04:07

Well, after you emailed me and cc'd half of Mecha, I thought a ban was inevitable.

posted by pieisexactlythree 15 May | 04:20

So I spent my exile here.

Hai pi!

Hang in there, the economy is getting better, I think, especially for those with degrees (I forget your situation)

posted by Doohickie 15 May | 07:16

Man, no one ever cc's me.

Hi pie. My AC was broken, but now it's fixed.

posted by muddgirl 15 May | 07:42

hi pie! Yay for pharmacology and monasteries! Boo for being laid off :( Yay for seeing you again!

posted by gaspode 15 May | 09:57

Pie are 'round again!

Howdy!

Sounds like you're tackling things in a good way - congrats on that.

Nice to see you again.

Welcome back, (((pie=3)))

Well, the moderators don't quite constitute half of MeCha, but whatever. It's a brand new day and all that, as far as I'm concerned.

All crap aside, I'm glad to see you back here - I have wondered what happened to you a couple of times and hoped that you were OK, so I'm glad to see you more or less are.

As far as news goes - nothing to report from here, I'm still the same grumpy arsehole.

Great to see you!!

Howdy Pie! I am glad to hear that you are continuing to work on the whole "living" thing. I'm doing well with my journey, and I'm really glad to hear that you are progressing with yours as well.

I'm always around via email if you wanna run stuff by me too. Don't forget that. Virtual friends count pal.
