X-Message-Number: 12198 Date: Tue, 27 Jul 1999 06:33:59 +0000 From: Kennita Watson <> Subject: More on methods Some more random thoughts on Mr. Griggs' message: Ginkgo has been scientifically tested. I found 108 references to "ginkgo biloba" on Medline (www.healthgate.com); you may want to check them out. Much of your message seems to come directly from a depressed mental state. "The Feeling Good Handbook" (available through Amazon, of course, for about $15) is very highly rated for the treatment of depression by The Authoritative Guide to Self-Help Books, among others. I recommend it highly, even before therapy and antidepressants, but use any combination of those you need to handle the depression!! One point I'd like to mention by way of motivation is that you're much more likely to win your ladyfriend's heart if you're not depressed. I've spent many dollars on beaus who hadn't expressed a romantic interest in me, always to no effect. Extravagance won't help. Good self-esteem might. I can't recommend highly enough buying your own PC, modem, and Internet account. Having to schlepp back and forth to school or the nonprofit's computer lab can severely cramp your computing style. Live long, and prosper.
