If I'd been *really* trying, I'd have said "I" instead of "..",  "Z" for 
"--..", and "T" for "-".  Or if it was --, "M".

She only I cause her Z?

She only I cause her MI?

She only I cause her TTI?

I don't know that that makes any more sense. ;-)

BTW did you know that if he became president Jamaicans would say that you were
still waiting for a black president?

The same here.

Your answer makes sense but I have a nagging feeling it is not a good analogy. I
may come back to it later.

I am, believe me. (There but for the grace of God go I) [Not that I am
religious]

Not really, you describe it well. I don't have personal experience of clinical
depression but I have seen it close up second hand. I've been depressed by my
situation in life, sometimes to the point of being paralysed but for me a good
kick has got me going again. I know that if I had been clinically depressed that
would not have worked. Funnily enough the phrase "pull yourself together" has
never crossed my lips. I am just about perfect :) ROTFL
