Gerrit, Here, Here. Thanks for putting it so eloquently.

Hi ya all! STOP for a minute! I am one of the PWP's with depression. It has crept up on me and my current situation does nothing to alleviate the depression. The way I see this pink flamingo vs suicide debate is as follows. * A depressed person will read depression into pink flamingoes, and * a person without depression will not become a chronic depressed person just by reading articles about suicide. Having said this I believe that we must be considerate towards each other on the network. Different strokes for different oaks, etc. Each of us have our specific needs (mine is to attempt o generate money to take my employer to court) and I have always marvelled at the ability of the members of this network to converse eloquently about anything from humour to hard, cold reality issues. This is the strength of this group and I am proud to be involved.

I think pink flamingos are much preferable to dwelling on death and depression. Although I hope not to find pink flamingos multiplying in my front yard. Hgs, Juanita CG for George 74/71/64
