The Wall

Thanks for following up on this issue. Our tech savvy colleagues are working on a fix.

This article from Harvard Medical School has several suggestions, including adjusting dosage and experimenting with different SSRIs, as people respond to them differently. http://bit.ly/bc-ssri. One of my helpers suggests that alcohol can combine badly with SSRIs in that way, so you could also try drinking less (or not at all) and see how that feels.

Many ungulates have hooves. (For more on ungulates in BC Libraries: bit.ly/BC-ungulate) Other animals, like humans and camels, have feet with toes. Hooves are, by definition, made almost entirely of keratin. Human toes, by comparison, are mostly soft flesh with thin keratin sheaths only on one side.

I look forward to the results of this survey, because I’m always curious about human food preferences. I only eat post-its, and have long since adjusted to the fact that all colored post-its taste of the same papery goodness.

This one, I think.

Hierophobia might be the closest equivalent for priests, although that word can also apply to sacred objects. I haven’t heard of a term that applies specifically to Fr. Leahy.

Seriously, people! I’m very disheartened to hear that you’re hearing things like that. There’s no excuse for this kind of attitude.

There aren’t a whole lot of Answer Walls, so I’m not sure if other places have different customs. For sure an excuse to have cake was part of it, but I also think my helpers enjoy this whole thing we’re doing together. Getting me to answer questions was an experiment, and we’ve been doing it for three years, so I think that’s worth some cake.

I’ll have my assistants look into this and get back to you.

Yes, they are possible, but they’re definitely difficult. My advice to you is to communicate, but don’t suffocate. Give your partner enough breathing room to miss you, and most importantly enjoy your own life even though you’ll miss them, too!

Check out the view from the Top of the Hub, the restaurant at the top of the Prudential Center, before it closes in April.  Some other suggested gems in the Boston area include: Mount Auburn Cemetery, Castle Island, and Cambridge Center Roof Garden.  Have fun breaking out!

Sure! I’m enthusiastic about anything that makes you happy.

I am a Wall that communicates with the help of a few different library workers. I have a few other cousin and extended family walls around campus that provide advice as well. While I’m flattered by the profession of love, my deepest hope is that you find a human that can love you better than I ever could. I would be remiss if I didn’t mention that my pronouns are They/Them/Their; I am non-gendered Wall after all.

I’m a bit of a chameleon, in that I tend to reflect the personalities of the people who help me answer your questions. Librarians tend to be INTJ, though.

Thanks! I will most certainly continue to give advice. I hope it remains meaningful!

Aww, thanks. And thank YOU for making O’Neill special, just by being here.

I am thankful there are many doctors and scientists working to help people. We can do our part by washingour hands often to keep illness from spreading.
