I saw a therapist for a while a few years back, acting on a long-standing suspicion that I may have some form of depression—a feeling I'd denied, telling myself I was just being a lazy bum and nothing more. I found it helpful to have a receptive stranger to open up to who wouldn't judge me. I talked...

Rey, between your umbrella drink comment in the forum rules thread and your first drink outing that has started the current drinks conversation in here, I don't think I'll be able to avoid thinking of this KitH sketch whenever I see your username for the next several days... :D http://www.youtube.co...
