  1. The term itself is wrong. There is depression as you describe which is normal. The debilitating kind is something else and should not even be called depression in order to differentiate it. I think this step would make things more understandable to people that have no idea what this type of depression does. It is not depression but something else..hmm, since there is not a proper name yet I will call it No Quarter disease...yeah, thats it...seriously, it needs a different title to alleviate the society stigma associated with normal depression

    I believe the DSM-III calls it Major Depressive Disorder. But I might go along with calling it No Quarter disease. Depression gives no quarter, that's for sure.

    Hi all,

    Not at all.Depression grows,like a fungus,upon itself.

    Totally agree.

  2. i have read a lot of critical acclaim about rushdie but have yet to read any of his novels

    is *midnight's children* as good as the reviews it gets?

    I had this discussion with my oldest son, who turned me on to the book in the first place. He is a Rushdie fan and liked the book, but he's not sure if it really deserves all the critical acclaim it received. I think yes, it does. For me, it was one of those novels that just pulled me in and I couldn't read it fast enough. It's both historical and utterly magical. I think Rushdie is brilliant.

  3. This isn't an easy one to find one, so numbers aren't usuall y good to leave your choices with only one word that isn't popular in song titles.

    I knew that was probably gonna get a complaint. Sorry!

  4. I don't know. As a female brilliant creative artist,

    I want the kind of guy who doesn't seem to exist, lol

    A faithful one.

    A priviledge... have you ever been married to this type of guy? or dated one?

    A man with brains would marry someone whom he is so compatable with that he would never want to stray.

    People really are stranger than strange...

    This is of course my opinion. I don't judge yours however it does baffle me.

    :blink:B)

    I agree with you once again, kabbalahone.

    Being a brilliant artist doesn't give you the right to trample underfoot people's hearts. I imagine some of the girls who loved him must have been crushed by his philandering ways. Yes, they should've expected his behavior, but it would still hurt. And I bet some of them thought they would be the one true love that would take him away from all of the others.

    Oh well, I'm still crazy about him anyway (from afar, of course).
