Three signs that you may be a basket case

Sign #1: You find yourself talking to your computer.

Sign #2: As you reach for the carton of soy milk to add to your morning coffee you grab the carton of chicken broth instead...and you barely even notice the difference.

Sign #3: Tears roll down your cheeks as you listen to Carly Simon's song "It Was So Easy".....

I remember a time, rompin' through the woods
Sun against our skin instead of clothes
When we felt hungry we swould eat, when we felt glad we'd dance
And whenever we felt drowsy we would doze

It was so easy then never takin' any stands
It was so easy then, holdin' hands

I remember a time when our fears could be named
And courage meant not refusing dares
I remember when we took such cares to step never on the cracks, no only in the squares
Or else we'd be abducted by the bears

And now we are grown, with debts and regrets
And broken hearts and sentimental schemes
Now every tender failure seems to overthrow old dreams
Love can drive a normal woman to extremes

It was so easy once, holdn' hands without a plan
It was so easy once holdn' hands
Just holdin' hands......

Great lyrics...funny how some songs can sum things up so aptly in a few words.
