In game I can casually say "I am older than your parents" to anyone I meet. I know of one person on Garuda older than I.

Ooooo... I still know of LOTS of depressing songs from my Beatnick folksinger days. Typical plot; boy meets girl, she wants to get married, he wants to get lost. They compromise, he kills her. A great depressing song is "And the Band Played 'Watzing Matilda'", check it out. Or most anything by Lenard Choen (Spelling?) even his happy songs sound depressed.

Angelstar-things will never be the "same". If you want to feel better, bask in the sun. That's what kitties do. That's what I do IRL. There is something comforting about the sun's rays. Warms me through and through. Or- color. Get some crayons and a coloring book! Go to the park, sit outside and COLOR. Sound childish? I'm 28... I do this still. It feels good and silly and fun.
Seems like you need some good silly fun.

Older than you? ZOMG must be a grandad or something
She is a Grandma, it is said a grandson got her the game as one way to stay in touch while he was in Iraq.

Not really, it started out with depressed thoughts, I mentioned depressing songs 'cause way back in the day, there was nothing like an imprompteau depressing song contest to cheer people up.

I recently learned that sunbasking generates one of those feel good endorphin like chemicals in your body. So yes, go and bask in the sun. Bring chocolate.

This is slightly off-topic but... can you see us kitties at like 90-something in a MithraPride retirement village? All basking in the sun with our laptops. Playing final fantasy. Eating chocolate.

{/nod} I believe that has also been confirmed by science. As far as bringing chocolate, if it's a hot day- go with the M&M's for no melty mess
I found the following doing 1/2 @$$ed research on the subject:
The researchers theorize that UV exposure leads to the release of chemicals in the brain called endorphins, which are linked to both pain relief and euphoric feelings.
You do not always get skin cancer from sun exposure. OVERexposure is what we need to look out for. There is sunblock for that. Also, being out there between 10am and 2pm for an extended period of time w/out protection is not wise.
The sun is good for you. We need sunlight. Has to do with vitiman D, plus those afore mentioned endophens.
Too much of anything can be bad for you, but a half an hour out in the sun won't give you insta-skin cancer
Also, in a study about a year or so ago, researches found that sun burns you get as a child are what set you up for getting skin cancer (or not) as an adult. So~ guess I should thank my mom for insisting on smearing that kiddie sun block on me even tho I hated it! (you know the kind: pink bottle, little girl getting her bottom pulled by a little dog.)

Hehe, yea. You see all too much these days people go crazy over one thing they hear that says a thing you like is bad for you, it gets exaggurated a bit over time, and suddenly (I actually had this happen to me in lunch once) someone tells you that the mini plastic cup of nacho cheese you decided to try for your french fries the first time ever is going to give you a heart attack and kill you
Back on the topic, I'm kind of going through all this right now. Though I may not have been dealing with it as long as you all have, It's been long enough to know how it feels. Off and on I try little things to make it better, but so far not much help. But hey, with the 10 or so people saying their stories, it's easy to say you're not alone eh?
Weird you bring up HOT dreams... I've been haveing some lately... Like every night this week... and uhmm... The guy in them isn't an EX, or the current bf /dies
How does one say farewell to hot dreams about other boys (there back on topic, sorta)
Lucky you Tsybil I've had no good times with my ex because I consider them all to be a big fat lie. Hard enough to get her out of my life when she owes me money and still has my tape of Live8 but these stupid dreams are just... GRR Angry kitty!
Tsybil wins the biggest hammer prize!!
Getting skin cancer isn't my idea of a good time
