Don’t Worry, Mom

 woman with noose
(Sophia at our wedding)

No, Mom, I'm not depressed.  Please stop calling me today.  Ten times in one day is enough.  I was trying to talk about this success seminar in an interesting way, not make you worried about me.  And Scott was just joking when he wrote in the comments, "The most honorable person, in my opinion, is a person hanging from a noose with an unopened bottle of Prozac in their pocket with their miserable suicide note."

I hope.

And there's really nowhere to hang a noose in my apartment except where that planter is hanging in the living room, and I don't even know where you buy a noose.  At Home Depot?

I guess I can just walk into the Pacific Ocean, but I'd really like to get my legs in better shape before I put on my bathing suit.

To be honest, I'd really like to be more depressed, but I know you'll just bug me about it.  So, it's not worth the effort. 

Thanks for calling.

Why be depressed when you can just be self-loathing?

Miss thing up there with the noose should slip it around her neck. For god’s sake, one button gloves with a strapless? And what’s up with those scarves? Is she trying to hide those horrible sunburn lines? Not to mention that farmers tan half way down her arm…

i have a friend that is dark moody and depressed, he makes it seem so easy, but it’s actually very hard. we have home depot here, but i’ve never seen any nooses. maybe try a pet store, they have leashes that would probably work, or maybe you could get a puppy instead.

*hugs* I hope you feel better soon.

I’m sure with a bit of Googling you will be able to fashion a noose out of 1 or two of the extension cords laying about your house. Or two bedsheets tied together.

If all else fails, you can strap several orange and strawberry ice-pops to your torso (be sure to use clear packing tape) and sprint across a runway at LAX.

I think I've seen those ice-pops at the 99 cents only store. That is probably the cheapest alternative. Why ruin nice sheets?

 And I'm going to get depressed more often if I can get hugs from Anne Arkham. 

Joking? Me?

Thanks for the link.

Hello, Neil.

And here.

Hey! Maybe you need a crafts class! You know–it’d cheer you up, and you could learn how to tie a noose. Talk about having yourself covered.

If all else fails, you can strap several orange and strawberry ice-pops to your torso (be sure to use clear packing tape) and sprint across a runway at LAX.

I’d probably end up eating the ice-pops before I made it to LAX and then feel even more depressed about my lack of Will Power.

Geez, on the one occasion I said to my mom ” You have no idea how close I am to putting my head in the oven.”, she said “Really? Where are you standing?”

Mothers are intrinsically weird.

“and I don’t even know where you buy a noose.”

Well, be careful if you’re shopping in LA, you might end up with a trick noose. The popsicles would probably work, but driving to LAX is always such a drag…

And thanks for making me laugh. (again!)

Don’t be depressed, Neil! Get your butt down to San Diego to kick our ass with your Texas Hold ‘Em skills! :)

How could any of us be depressed when we’re all consumers? Life is fab, baby, and it’s online and it’s digital. Whoo-hoo! Obsessive-compulsive is cool; depression is so 90s!

Life may not be easy for a pimp but it’s jim dandy for a consumer!

Wow, Sophia looks hot with a noose. I now see why Michael Hutchence was so into that scene.

Sorry, that was just terrible.
