That was hysterical. No you're not it's spring and you can be happy without being hypo, which is what I spend all my time trying to convince everyone. My read: If you're not getting in trouble- having affairs, gambling, maxing out the cards, you're fine and just enjoy it! Take care, Judy

Whew! I'm glad someone at least saw some humor in it. I lack in that area, but my hubby comes up with one-liners out of the blue on a regular basis.
Thanks,
Chris A.

> Chris A.True, if you are a bit hypomanic then you may feel sillyhearted at times. But I agree with fully agree Judy's points, just watch out for the "out of bounds" behavior indicative of a true mania.
I thought the joke was funny.
I even poke fun at myself.Please note, some people are really sensitive and take what you may think you are saying in a light harteaded manner the wrong way and crucify you. So be careful (and thoughtful).
Thanks for the chuckle,
John

Hi Chris,I was all bummed out the weekend we found out about Sar and was driving through traffic all dogfaced. Anyhow, I come up behind an old early 80's *Accord*. It was a little *beat-up* with a couple of Dead-Head stickers on the rear windshield. The rear view mirrors on the side looked like someone *made* the perfectly spider-web shaped mirror cracks with a tiny copper ball-peen hammer. But the kicker was the bumper sticker on the trunk lid. It had the icon face from the guy on TCM (Turner Classic Movies), smoking a cigarette and the caption or *headline* on the bumper sticker read:
MARIJUANA: Sponsored by the People from.. Ummm, well, we forgot...
Made me day.
