Depression and suicide: what you need to know and what you can do. Depression is a common mental health condition. For some people depression is mild and short-lived; for others, it is more severe and longer-term. Some people are affected only once; others more than once.
​
At worst, depression can lead to suicide. There is a lot that can be done, however, to prevent and treat depression and to help people who are thinking about suicide.
​
The short documents posted below provide information about depression and suicide and guidance on prevention and treatment.

AUTUMN IN APPALACHIA

- Joe Webb
Picture
It’s autumn in Appalachia.

For those of you who live here, you know what that means.


Hillsides and mountain slopes ablaze with color. Crisp, cool days. Daylight coming in at sharp angles as our part of the earth rotates away from the sun in the celestial dance of the ages.

It’s like the world is taking a deep, cleansing breath just before going dormant for a much-needed rest.

A mystical time


Here in the oldest mountains in the world, fall is a mystical time. It awakens old folk tales and songs from the hills.

Perhaps more than any other season, the onset of fall in many ways defines the Appalachian identity.

Our connection with the earth seems just a little more intimate this time of year.

Maybe it’s because it represents the ancestral gathering of the final bounties of the land from the past year and preparation of the soil for the next one.

Dad's Famous Waffles and Homemade Maple Pecan Whipped Cream

Picture
I (Mic) made these last Sunday and they were a huge hit with the kiddos and I even think I impressed Lindsay. If I can do this you can too.

What You Need:
Pre-Made Waffle Mix (I used the Kroger Brand)
Waffle Iron
Heavy Whipping Cream
Sugar Free Maple Pecan Coffee Syrup


Spray your waffle iron with cooking spray and turn it to your desired setting.

Start mixing your pre-made waffle mix together (Follow the instructions on the Box). Make sure you get most of the lumps out - you don't want flour pockets in your waffles (YUCK!). 

When your waffle iron is ready pour on your mix and evenly distribute it over the iron while making sure you don't add to much as it will overflow. Now depending on how you like your waffles is how long you leave them on. We like ours crunchy so we leave them on a little longer than normal. Once they are done place them on plates and get ready for the best part!

Next up the homemade whip cream. Pour about a half cup of heavy whipping cream into a mixing bowl. If you have a stand alone mixer - kick that baby on high and let her do the work. If you just have a hand mixer then you will have to help it out. Mix it till it starts getting that fluffy whipped cream look. Now ad about 2 teaspoons of the maple pecan coffee syrup and then mix until it looks like a cloud of whipped cream goodness.

Put a PLOP (or Two!) on top of the Waffles and add a sprinkle of cinnamon. Next you can add your favorite syrup and Dig In!
