I Stopped Taking Cipralex

Yesterday, I called the work counsellor, but she did not want to see me until 3 months have passed. Even then, I would need a referral.

I felt that it was not worth the risk to buy pills that could potentially do damage to my body. I do not even know if any of these people would be helpful to me.

In the next 3 months, I would need to get a job to buy pills and to have an income. What would be the point of taking the pills to get counselling, if I would have a job to pay for the pills? I might as well just get a job and keep it. Unfortunately, I need job!

I have some left over sample pills, but I will not take them, unless I get interested them again.

Cipralex Results After 1 Week

So far, I do feel better, but it is all subjective. I also feel worse in some ways, because my job situation just feels more and more hopeless each day. Also, the doctor said that I will not feel anything until quite a while, so any good feelings are probably coincidental. At least, I do not feel any side effects, other than what is described in the consumer information.

Using Cipralex To Deal With Depression

I began taking Cipralex just a few hours ago, after midnight.

I will be blogging about my experiences with this drug. If you would like to learn more and/or follow me on my journey of dealing with depression, then subscribe. Read the remainder of my blog entry for more info on how I got the pills and my thoughts about it.

Opera Font Problems Disappear With Version 11.10 Build 2092

I do not know what happened, or if the problem is just hidden, but when I try to change the fonts as described in previous journal entries, there seems to be no effect, and the fonts seem to be okay.

More Photo Progress For Railway Photos

Jonas Lee Photography made more progress yesterday. I am confident that we have enough photos for the preconstruction phase of the new home of the FVHRS. I hope that we can get a few more, but I do not think that there is much more to record.

More Info Regarding Opera's Font Problem

It seems that the font is Bitstream Sans Vera [bold oblique, or whatever it is called]. I noticed a font problem in Konqueror, also. I am convinced that this is an operating system level problem, or desktop environment level problem.

I improved the situation by deleting the font completely. The problem is still there, but the web pages are much more usable. I will continually use the same work around as mentioned in an earlier blog entry, but at least, I will not have to, if I do not want to.

I noticed a peculiar thing, when I deleted the font. The default font seemed to turn into FreeSerif. It is as if the software expected the chosen font to be at a certain place, and when Bitstream Sans Vera was deleted, they all moved up a space, while the software kept looking in the same place.

If you know what is going on, then please comment.

Opera's Font Problem Work Around

It seems that all I have to do is go into Font-family sans-serif, and then just reselect the exact same font. I need to do it each time I start up Opera.

Opera Web Browser's Font Problem

For quite some time, I struggled with getting Opera to stop displaying everything in a bold italic sans serif font. I tried everything.

On Sunday early morning, I upgraded to 11.01 [build 1190], and then played around with the fonts, and it seemed to have worked. I do not know what I did, but I was playing around with "Font-family sans-serif", in the preferences dialog. It was finally set to FreeSans.

I booted up the computer again, before lunch, and it went back to the sans serif italic bold.

I do not understand it, at all.

I Visited The Future Home Of The FVHRS

We are embarking on a momentous journey. The FVHRS is moving to a new home in Cloverdale, this year. It is no longer just a vision or a dream in the hearts of rail enthusiasts and civic politicians. It will soon be an established part of our community. Read the remainder of the blog entry for the details of my trip.
