I say nay. The time I've been here you've never offended me. > me thinks Xen meant 'nay' - as in: "Don't go" ;) BOINC Wiki . . . Science Status Page . . . |

Kittyman, every person has value. We are a community of friends here and I value your friendship. I will be happy to state that whenever and wherever it needs to be heard. Many amongst us struggle with mental illness. Many amongst us struggle with addiction. I hope that you find comfort and friendship in this community, as these gifts are present here in great abundance. Fondly, Angela |

I hope that others realize that they apply to them as well. When I am strong enough, it gives me joy to lend an ear and a kind word to others who are having their troubles. And I thank others who do the same when I am having a bad day. We do indeed have a lot of good people here. "Time is simply the mechanism that keeps everything from happening all at once." |

I hope that you find comfort and friendship in this community, as these gifts are present here in great abundance. What lovely thoughts, you've expressed, Angela. We've come some way from the days when 'gentle-folk', would pay to visit the notorious Bethlem Hospital, finding amusement in the plight of the patients, and were often provided with sticks to antagonise them with. Sometimes however, I wonder if some people today, are really any better than those so-called visitors to Bedlam. I also greatly value Mark's friendship and I'm more than happy to state that. A big, "yay", "yes", "oui" or whatever. Iona Don't take life too seriously, as you'll never come out of it alive! |

Mark, you have been doing very well this past week. I just want to commend you for a job well done. And thank you, Ozz..... I really DO try.... I constantly have to remind myself that the whole world is not out to get me....... And the few that are, I should be smart enough to deal with....without going ballistic about it.

I enjoy your poetry and musings Mark. My wife keeps asking if you have posted more Kitty pictures - so you are the SETI-poster she asks about. As far as we are concerned - please keep posting. Everyone is different and we ALL have our own difficulties. Everyone has good days and bad days (for one reason or another) - but at least the Kitties can make us smile. Got a wee Tortie (I think that is a Calico in the USA) purring around my feet as I type this now - so I am off to feed her and watch her play. : ) I guess that is a long winded way of saying - keep on posting please.

Yep, everything in moderation. Forgot to say - One thing I don't agree with is "Everything in moderation". Sometimes a little excess can be both needed and enjoyable. Just, only do the "excess" bit in moderation. Just realised how daft that must sound - but you know what I mean. Tom |

Yep, everything in moderation. You should never need to do anything in excess, and if you feel you do, perhaps you should take care of whatever is bothering you instead. And by "you", I mean that generally and not specifically you personally. |

I guess it depends what one means by "excess" I suspect. Sometimes it is a positive pleasure to go just a little beyond what you might normally do. For example, I am a keen amateur astronomer, but normally only observe / image for 2-3 hours at a time. I think it unfair to my wife to stay out until 4 in the morning. But perhaps twice a year, when the sky is particularly clear and still, I will 'phone my wife from my (out of Town) observing site and suggest I stay out VERY late. She has always been okay with this (and if she wasn't, then I would accept her wishes). I guess the excess here is that I don't NEED to do astronomy until exhausted - there can always be another time, but it is nice to endulge oneself sometimes. A wee treat. I agree that alcohol and smoking to excess isn't a good idea (I don't smoke and don't drink to excess - social drinker only). So... a little moderate excess (but then, is that exces?) can be good - just don't get into the habit. My personal view - feel entirely free to disagree - everyone is different and that is one of the interesting things about our short time here on Earth. Regards to All Tom |
