A week or so ago, there was a report that stated that anti depressants didn't make any effect on mild depression, and based on that report, I stopped taking the pills the Dr had prescribed for me.

In it's place, I decided to use massage and aromatherapy.

Well, today another report was released :

Aromatherapy May Make You Feel Good, But It Won't Make You Well, Study Shows
ScienceDaily (Mar. 4, 2008) — One of the most comprehensive investigations done to date on aromatherapy failed to show any improvement in either immune status, wound healing or pain control among people exposed to two often-touted scents.

Now, the reason I think I am biased is that I fully believe the first report ... but I think the second is a load of shite.

So I'm biased. So sue me

Well, the new puppy arrived last night. Thankfully, the kids decided to call him Oscar rather than Spot (whew!) and he really suits his name.

He sleeps an awful lot, and is scared of his metal feeding bowls. I have had to buy him china ones. Daft Mutt!

The other boys like him a lot, and he really enjoys their company, but unfortunately he is about the size of Angus' head, and he keeps getting trodden on. I am sure he will be able to hold his own when he is bigger, but just now, I keep having to put the big dogs in the other room, because they think they can rough and tumble with him like they do with one another. I'm frightened they are gonna break him.
