Thank you Norm.

Well Norm I realised a few things tonight which a falling view of myself hid from me...and it is this.. I have wonderful friends who I do not see but that they are simply so important to me.. Its hard for me to understand this because of the way I am but I really have tonight appreciated the beauty of this over the net friendship ..I was very moved tonight ..and happily moved in the right direction..up up...and leveling off at a nice cruising level I pronounce I am normal..for me

Alex,
Sorry to hear that your going through a bit of a rough time, though I am sure that things will eventually have to improve but sometimes things can take a little time.

Regards Daniel.

Thank you Daniel.. you are right but I am not wasting any more time on it.. life is like poker really in so far as there is no point thinking about the last hand and how you could have played it ..you gotta play the current cards dealt and win the game

Hope you make a speedy recovery from the surgery alex .. and that a little time passing may let some of the other pain settle some for all concerned.

Dear Alex,

I was wondering why you hadn't posted for a while.

Really sorry to hear about your recent problems. I hope you are recovering from the surgery more every day.

Such a shame to hear about problems with the mother of your daughter. The mother of my daughter has caused me nothing but pain either so I fully sympathise.

I'm really sorry if I was too harsh in that gravity thread. I've been going through a messy falling-out with my business partner. His ego has just exploded with increasing sales and his greed is out of control. Consequently I'm winding-up a successful business with so much of my intellectual property tied up in it and returning to full-time work.

You're words in this thread have made me realise how much I have been letting this get to me lately, and regrettably that it has lead me to be harsh with others.

I sincerely thank you for indirectly bringing my own behaviour to my attention.

Wishing you a speedy recovery Alex

Take care,
Doug

Doug I dont want you to think I took anything you said such that it upset me.

I cant not express to you firstly how much I appreciate a real scientist taking the time to talk to me and secondly that you can be frank and express your thoughts.
AND I feel if I have to I can give out as good as I get ... I sortta like being placed where I can present an alternative ...

I dont like to hear you have the problems you are experiencing.
If I can help please let me know..legal action or pump action I can manage one as efficiently as the other...mission impossible scenarios no problem...

So I would like you to believe with that kind of back up you can feel relaxed knowing that it is you who has "him" on a short leash..

I was a salesman and ego is the driver in that game... but knowing this as you do means you are perhaps best letting him play with his ego whilst you deliberately move toward the new future the outcome will provide...

Thank you for your thoughts but please dont punish yourself as honestly nothing you said upset me.. my reply I hoped was pleasant even though I aired my view...

AND as I said as a representative of the establishment your duty is to say what you said... its the same for me.. my duty is to represent those who would like to say something in opposition to the established thinking but are less chatty than me.

I had what I would call a spiritual experience once where I was washed over with an appreciation that I was selected to carry the push thing forward for humanity because I was probably (I thought) the only person with a thick enough hide to run the gauntlet of constant rejection of the idea...

Sure it will take a little time to move science over to my way but I am up for it..and so I could never be upset with those who have not fully accepted my views...

So I hope you are convinced that you or anyone here ..or anywhere... can upset me... even the ex ..its not a case of being upset with her just a sense of loss..patting my dogs takes me past that spot..I dont miss her...and I never had much of a problem with the ladies ..there are a few possibilities even around here... never live with one again however..I am very happy by myself really.

Take care
alex

Hi Geoff

Er well in truth I went to the Tabby pub around lunch time for an orange juice ..did not see Jimmy but I did see him a couple of days ago and we had a chat..He seems pretty fit to me and really has not changed in the 15 or 20 years I have known him..yes it must be new 20..

And after the rounds of the ladies in the afternoon drifted to the pub around 5-30... had a game of pool even.

My mate got back last night and the boat he went to look at in Victoria was a dud so we are here this morning getting a list of possibles around the Gold Coast...so all is terrific...and he gave me some pain killer he got from a bloke in the Army and man its working fine

Have a great day.

alex

I'm thinking of you Alex, hoping that you find that place within that will allow you to cope with your pain.
Take it easy too. Take your time and allow yourself to heal. You don't want to have to go back and do it all over again.
