I agree wholeheartedly with Zeek. Not to say I know a lot about this particular thing, but I have had to take classes on suicide prevention (not saying your friend is suicidal!!! just saying,) and there was an instance where a person was severely depressed, his friend took him to talk to someone, and after the session he seemed totally better, so they left him alone. He ended up commmitting suicide. Now I'm not, not saying your friend is suicidal, but in cases of depression or bipolar disorder, you need to take signs of improvement with a few grains of salt.
You've gotta expect hissy fits when you tell her you think something's wrong that she needs help for, but I think it's something that needs to be done. She won't like it, but somehow you have to convince her that it's the right thing to do, even if you have to say something that hurts her into finally admitting the truth. preferably before her next down swing, but keep an eye on her. Hope you figure somethin out :\

Sorry, but that made me giggle.
(Considering that I visit RWED...) Nice to see you on the Imponderables though NVG: I'd say that comparing Obama to Palpatine is a bit extreme, but I get the idea behind the feeling. What I've seen/recalled about Obama's statements so that he could become elected as president has me cautious about him as the president...but hopeful.
I've had too many experiences where I found out later my gut instinct was right about something, so far be it for me to pooh-pooh anyone's gut feelings.
Worst possible president I can imagine? Palin. The mere thought that she was second in line was enough to solidify my vote for Obama (I was seriously considering McCain until then). *shudder*
LF: I agree with Zeek and FLT. I don't think your friend is lying, but she might be telling you the parts she thinks you want to hear. I know that I've gotten pretty good at telling "friends" things with a positive or neutral spin when my life sucked for the telling. Those who are really close to me have an idea how bad it was (I started researching moving at least half an ocean away from where I live). But for others -- I'd focus on one or two good things that happened recently and talk about those things. I'm sure that some of them might have had a slight feeling that I might be slightly unhappy but not how bad things really were.
Side note, LF (about the homework) -- as a former teacher, I really suggest you do what you need to do to make your parents happy. If that means doing your homework so your grades are good enough so that you can get back online, then that's what you've got to do. (Adults have to do it all the time -- we call it "jumping through hoops".) I'll skip the parental-type lecture, but I really think you should see this as practice for when you're an adult. (I accidentally started this in the Bar and Grill, so blame me for the scoldings.)
Different note: This weekend was a four-day weekend for people here. Why? Because there was a threat of a huge storm with winds just below a category 1 hurricane. *grumble* I read somewhere that people grumbled because all the state and city workers for most of the state got a free paid vacation day (the winds were much smaller than anticipated). I on the other hand, am royally annoyed that prior to this year, all workers were expected to show up to work no matter what. Sudden freak windstorm cause the tress to fall, crash on your property, and put you at risk? Better show up buddy. Downpour with enough rain to drown the whole island starting at 6 in the a.m.? Well, if you can't make it, we're going to charge it to your sick days.
*grumble* Why couldn't they have figured this out before?

Ugh today the guy in the office next to me bolted out of here. Apparently he got robbed sometime during the day. Is this another fun side effect of the down economy that we should expect to see more often?
If someone robs me they better not lay a hand on my cat or God help them.

I worry about that with our dogs. Though barky, the aren't THAT tough and are easily distracted with food. I do like having them when we are home. People near the yard are warned early and were probably saved 230 grains of weight gain.

YAY DDR!!!! ive been contemplating getting that for a long time, but i dont have the $$
ok, so there was this class i wanted to get into (first time its ever been taught, and the teach doesnt know if he's gonna do it again, but its awesome) but i couldnt because a bunch of whiny seniors were like "EEEEEEEEEE!! I HAVE ONE REQUIREMENT LEFT AND I NEED TO GRADUATE THIS SEMESTER AND YOUR CLASS FILLS IT PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE!!!!!" so all the permission numbers were given and i was left out in the cold.
Sat in on the class this evening and found its mostly online discussion/posting of stuff, but its on a program thats invitation only, so of course only the people assigned to the class can get in and do the stuff.
*Now*, apparently the class wasnt full today, because the professor counted and was like "whoa, im missing some people" --people who never showed up btw. The structure of the class seems to be a bit beyond me, because it sounds like he pretty much just wants the students to do things for themselves, and i havent had a class like that yet ><;; but i'd still love to learn the material if possible.
Ponder: should i email the professor and ask him if any of the people who didnt show up dropped the class, and ask him if i can enroll? once again the structure and material seem to be a little advanced for what i'm used to, (its a lit to film class, tracking the transition from novel/short story to the screen, which ive always been interested in) but i'm going to kick myself if i dont join in and he ends up not teaching this class again. i love college ><;;
