Happy Blue Monday

according to some Dobin tucked away in a little worm hole somewhere today is the most depressing day of the year.

so...

Happy Blue Monday

Re: Happy Blue Monday

Thanks for the Snoopy cartoon, I needed something to make me smile because I actually am feeling blue on this blue Monday, or maybe more like nerves-stretched-to-breaking-point-stressed-actually-losing-weight-when-I-haven't-got-much-to-lose-feel-like-screaming-sick-of-looking-for-somewhere-to-live-Monday. AAAARGH!

Oh that's better!

At least the sun is shining!

Re: Happy Blue Monday

Not blue, but a bit stiff and sore after a day skiing in Gstaad.

can you settle a long standing argument on this blue monday

is is GGGGGGa'staad

or

Staad ?





EDIT:.............................

"cute things kids say" is family matters/health

but a post about blue monday & depression gets moved to off topic.

Thanks Mr G! It's not quite that bad yet!

And yes, I was relying on one or two 'Thanks' to brighten my day!

It's pronounced 'staad, with an almost imperceptible "g" at the beginning. I'm sure some linguistics boffin will come up the the correct terminology.

Re: Happy Blue Monday

too early to celebrate, according to your link "By the original rationale, Blue Monday will fall on 23 January 2012, however some events will occur on 16 January 2012"
