Thank you, Nettie! :-) I can't take the Wellbutrin .. have baaaddd
heebeejeebies from it .. there are soo many antidepressants I can't take ..
poot! so many MEDS I cant take cuz of the creepie crawlies or heebeejeebees
or whatever the hell ya call 'em! ;0) it's like my skin is crawling
underneath the skin ... don't know if it's panic attacks or ??? just know
that some meds make me go NUTS when I take 'em!

Sad tho' about the wellbutrin .. that WOULD be nice! :-) ah well .... at
least I ain't chewin' my baccy THIS time! :-)

Yup, Deffrey asked me to marry him right after we first moved here. we're
really hesitant about getting legally hitched ... do to financial reasons
.... so we may do a 'civil ceremony' ... or maybe jump the broomstick again!
:-)

That is if'n we dont'kill each other before we get to that date and time!
ROFL

the stressof what all we've been thru lately has really had its toll on us!
me --- my skin is sooo thin that you could prolly see thru it! :-} and Deff
..... dear LORD but he's been a CRAB!!

but, i'm sure he'll straighten out soon enough ... and my skin'll get
thicker! ROFL ... maybe I need more vitamin E for my skintone! ROFL

Thanks for your encouragement, it's greatly appreciated.

What you are describing can also be restless leg ... sounds like the same
sort of feeling ... nervous system stuff.

Also congrats on the weight loss. I know you were struggling with that
too.

By the way, thick skin is not always a necessity in life. We are allowed
times when we can be more vulnerable. Don't worry about that stuff ... it
ain't worth it. Take good care ... both of you and keep us posted on the
marital vows!!! I think that's cool.
