Hey all, just got out of a mental hospital, and it's good to see that things are more or less the same around here.

Future '07 TOUAMBIE award nominee as soon as I figure out an appropriately goofy category name.

Since Google is comprised of the words "Go Ogle" I have pretty much determined that the site itself is unsalvageable and plan never to go there aga...  Wait, what does it mean to curb mussels?  Damn, now how I am I going to look that up?

You've made me imagine an awesome newsreel.

"Porn! Nature's innovator! Porn, driver of internet development! Porn, determiner of video formats!"

Just a booming newsreel voice over still images of awesomely nasty pornography.

Thank you for that.

Wow, I hope that you're doing okay as well.

I'm a big fan of the crazymeds, myself. I'm not a creative-genius uberspazz like jerod (epilepsy, autism, bipolar, anxiety disorders, etc), but I still need meds...just like diabetics need their insulin and stuff.

Some of my friends growing up were involuntarily and voluntarily committed at various points. Some of their hospital experiences were helpful and good, and others not so much. I hope that you had a beneficial stay and that you were able to take something positive out of the situation.

Oh, I'm fine.  It wasn't a suicide attempt or anything like that.  Just some out of control bipolar depression, but I'm on some better drugs, have much better therapy, have groups to go to, and all sorts of junk.

In-patient care can be fun (there was a pro wrestler in there!).  It's usually three parts recovering junkies to one part messed up crazy, which is nice, because they're generally more together and interesting than depressives and paranoids once you get them away from needles, bottles, and pipes.  Also nobody gives ugly women drugs, you know what I mean?

In the evenings I'd go to AA meetings to kill time (and yeah, while I wouldn't call it addiction, depressed me wasn't exactly abstaining from the sauce either...) and I have to say Ray and Lyle hitting the steps would make good arc.

So, they don't have internet access in a mental hospital? But they have TV, right? I mean, doesn't that just make people feel worse?

Wow, I... thought you were joshing about that. I thought that was a joking explanation of absence.

I'm.... glad it helped you. I've had panic attacks that have cascaded into small nervous breakdowns before but... I've never quite been in that deep. I'm very glad you found it helpful. I have a close relation who is a schizophrenic for whom the drugs have never fully worked and... his times in-patient have not generally gone well.

Though I suppose that may be more the severe nature of schizophrenia as opposed to the choice of hospital.

:: Also nobody gives ugly women drugs, you know what I mean?

I have never thought of it that way.

I'll take that as the one positive in case my anxiety ever takes me to the inside.

It's also the anagram of wonderful phrases like "goo gel" and "egg loo".

and "log ego".

Isn't a googol a really big number?  I think so...  No doubt Wikipedia will set me straight.


Edit:  It is:  10100

Apparently its larger than the number of particles in the known universe, and is roughly similar to 70! (the number of different arrangements of 70 people in a queue that are possible).  Sagan said its precisely as far from the value of infinity as is the number 1.  There's something to gaze at your navel over.

Apocryphally, its the misspelled inspiration for the name of the search engine company as well.  So it all comes full circle...
