Since I'm nearing 80 next month, I was feeling a bit depressed last night, almost hoping I had a good number of pain pills. Instead, I googled 'depression help' & found the # for the 'Let Us Cheer You Up' organziation.
I dialed the 800#. A recording came on, telling me to press 1 for English, which I did.
A guy answered with a very heavy Mid-Eastern accent. "Hello, my name is Herman. May I help you feel better about yourself?"
I asked 'Herman' where he was located.
He said, "Pakistan." Then he again asked if he could help me.
I told him about my depression.
He immediately asked if I had contemplated suicide.
When I said I had thought a bit about it, he got very excited. "Oh good, good. Can you drive a Toyota truck with a stick shift?"
I hung up. Even though I know how, I'm partial to Dodge's.
