I'm so happy someone took the time to watch. I'm incredibly inspired by them.

IMO, it just shows we're not very different and don't have to be angry at one another.

Thank you so much for watching Linda. Sometimes I think I waste my time for posting.

I've had a few rough days. I've been reluctant to share. My Coop fairy attempted suicide and may have been successful.

I'll miss talking to my friend if she doesn't make it.

I hope your friend makes it and gets help too.

Bama, quark is an acidic dairy product, a bit similar to creme fraiche but with a lot less fat. And the persimons should be pretty sweet, I think the taste would be slightly similar to peaches or apricots.

Felix, I just spent 30 minutes surfing to find out how to make quark. Lovely. My kind of food. A little like kefir that is strained to make a light cheese. I love buttermilk so this is right down my alley.

So sorry to hear this. Earlier this year I lost a good friend to suicide. She got me in to chicken keeping and had the biggest heart I've ever seen. She'd give you the shirt right off her back if she thought you needed it.

I wish we as a society talked more about and accepted mental illness as something legitimate and serious.

Hugs for you and your friend.

As "normal" people sometimes it's hard to realize the depression of mental illness. My grandson is 20 and prays for death daily. Do I think he will eventually follow through? (yes)

We love him and appreciate each and every day that he spends with us. We want so many more.

I found the lyrics to the Matt video if anyone wants to see them.

I may share more later, I can't now.

Chicken Canoe I have seen those videos before and watched yours too _ I just didn't know his name was Matt. I love those videos I always end up crying because they are so beautiful and as you say "inspiring." Why can't the world be like that? Most of the people don't even understand English and look at how well they perform together. If 'EVIL' wasn't stirring people up - we all could get along with each other. I can't dance but, sure would try if he came out here.

I wish you would tell me about the Coop Fairy I really understand .PM me anytime.

Chicken Canoe: So sorry to hear about your friend. I hope she pulls through and that she gets the help she needs. Hang in there and trust that there's a fairy watching over her one way or the other.

I have been clinically depressed most of my life. But only once did I have to take medication for it. My therapy is writing. Not all depression is suicidal...

And not all people who attempt ever talk about it.... to anyone.

huggs to all who are suffering....

I wish for strength to both you and your coop fairy. Hope she pulls through and gets the help to make her feel better again.
