There are probably times we all need a primal scream. I am with you on this one... and am tempted to join right in..................................................................

Polar: Yeah, I remember that. I thought it was funny at the time, but you may have had something there. And yes, there are a lot of big changes coming up. I can usually deal with that kind of stress... god knows I've gone through it often enough... even this kind of change coming up where I have very little idea of what the changes will actually be... I think it's just the complication of having to deal with all the enfuriating paperwork and details of getting my financial life in order... and having it come right at the most inconvenient moment possible... when all i ever wanted was a maintenance-free lifestyle. You know, it takes a hell of a lot of energy to disappear off the face of the earth. If I wasn't such a wimp, I'd walk away from my small nestegg completely and just walk into obscurity somewhere. Using my wits to survive would be so much easier than trying to hang on to what little I have.
skald: Thanks. I always appreciate your support.
ed: Yes, somewhat. It seems like some of the problems will be easier to fix than I thought yesterday.
queen: My dear, I am on permanent vacation! But you may be right anyway. I'm taking off on a hitchhiking trip to Turkey in a couple of weeks. Hopefully everything will be set by then, and I won't have anything left to worry about.
moon: okay, okay, you'll get your turn. But don't you think our screams could resonate with each other? Come on... we could make beautiful music together! I'll have to get busy on finding some charming Eastern European villages. Maybe Cesky Krumlov would be a good place to head after Prague. They've got a beautiful castle and lots of nooky little medieval pubs and restaurants where you can warm up in front of the fire and listen to Gypsy music. (check out my travelblog for photos). Hmmmm, that gives me an idea... we could try to find some Roma villages and dance the night away to those soulful gypsy violins.... :)
Alyss: I wasn't feeling much less like screaming until I opened up this page and saw all these wonderful comments. Amazing what a little attention will do for a body, isn't it? Thanks for dropping by. :)
PAPER: Great to see you again! Where have you been?
botoni: You are so sweet! {{{{{{BIG HUG}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}} re: the doc... I tried Prozac once. Great stuff. Too bad about the side effects. Oh well.. you can't have everything
MsStar: Well, here you are, like a blast from the past... I haven't seen you in quite a while. Nice to see you. {{{{{{hug}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}
beyond: Yep... to tell you the truth, it might have given me more immediate relief to have done the scream in real life... but this way sure has its benefits. It's nice to have all the support. Time to go home??????? Hmmmm, and where might that be?
RollingC: This one was a long time coming... I think my exhaust is still leaking. :p
Mimi: It's getting there, kiddo.. it's getting there.
softball: Ha! It wasn't nearly as long as I wanted it to be. I just wanted to lay on the "A" key and let 'er rip, but the darned text box wouldn't skip down to the next lline on its own, so I had to go to a certain point and then press "enter." I mean, how effective (or primal) can a primal scream really be, if you have to constantly interrupt it to press "enter?"
DogLips: I love your handle! You took the words right out of my mouth, Ohhhh it must have been while you were kissing me.... ewwwww, dog germs!
boyzmom: I think we've got a group going now! Let's all scream for world peace... or ice cream... something like that. Reminds me of the story of the king who wanted to hear what it would sound like if everyone in the kingdom screamed at the same time, so he ordered all his subjects to come and scream in unison on a given date. But there was one little boy who also wanted to hear what it would sound lilke, but he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to hear it if he was screaming himself, so he decided to just open his mouth and pretend to scream, but really just listen. Only he couldn't keep a secret, so he told a friend what he was going to do, and his friend told a friend, etc. Everybody wanted the same thing, so when the fateful moment came, everyone in the kingdom gathered and opened their mouths and listened to the sound of the whole kingdom screaming. Well, the king and everyone else came to the conclusion that the sould of the whole kingdom screaming was silence. :)
Zayda: Thanks, girl.
Jenna: I appreciate your support. {{{{{hug}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}
Susmaryosep: Just what I needed to hear.
taz: Okay.. it's unanimous. At this time tomorrow.....
