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 |

Don't you ever get tired of seeking external justification? There's nothing to be gained from your question or this thread. "Stay or go", it's up to you . . . and you will do what you want to do anyway. You've caused a lot of problems in the past and I suspect you will cause more in the future unless you find a way to control the source of your problems. Stay if you can stop being a problem, go if you can not. It's really a simple answer to your question, just difficult to implement . . . apparently. |

Often, people create problems where there were none - just for the sake of it. Don't take life too seriously, as you'll never come out of it alive! |
