Leave it to you Brad to render me speechless.


...ok, well maybe not entirely speechless. Such words of praise from someone I admire are beyond value - thank you.

As for that beer, let's work on the when and forget the if.

Take care Brad

Chris

Hi there Timo, long time no see.

I'm sorry to hear about that experience but you obviously learned something very important that day. The fact that you didn't allow that experience to silence your curiosity is a triumph - asking questions is so important.

Talk to you soon, Timo

Chris

I'm made of rubber and you're made of glue.
Bounces off me and sticks to you.


I'm still struggling to keep those flowers alive, Possi. I can't wait to send you a picture someday when they bloom.

The trickster has spoken and again, I am humbled.

I once knew a man who was a trickster. He was First Nations, and this role was a hereditary one. He explained it as being a sort of clown who would go about the village and mimic the actions of those who were too proud in an attempt to not only entertain the rest of the village but to hold up a mirror to such people in an effort to help them see themselves as others do, thereby bringing the community closer together and promoting harmony within the group.

You have fulfilled the role of the trickster, admirably Steve.

I thought I would clarify a couple of points though, if you would indulge me?

The T-shirt idea works best if everyone wears one. It would be rather pompous if only one person walked around wearing one, which is probably why I've never done it.

As for making judgements, I certainly hope I didn't give the impression that I am somehow "above" such things. I see the effort to not make judgements as an ideal worthy of striving towards - I am certainly nowhere close to "being there" myself.


and yes, that last quote was a reference to Chauncy Gardener...lol

I really appreciate your input Steve, especially since I see in you, some of the qualities that I would like earn for myself one day. Your journey with this disease is one that humbles many of us who have only just started down this path and yet despite all of the pain and turmoil, you manage to maintain a positive outlook and continue to brighten the lives of others. There are quite a few heroes and angels of mercy skulking about in these forums and I count you among their number.

Thanks for being here Steve

Every now and then I come across a person who is misguided by the notion that what works for them must also be what will work for everyone else.




You mean it's not true?

And here I've been all these years, following that advice that I learned from the Who's "Tommy", after Tommy reached enlightenment through playing pinball:

If you want to follow me,
you've got to play pinball.
And put in your earplugs
put on your eyeshades
you know where to put the cork

No wonder it hasn't been working! That pinball machine goes up for sale on eBay tomorrow!

(glad you are posting again Chris, missed you!)

How much do you want for that Pinball machine? I don't suppose you have the boots to go with it do you?...lol

It's nice to be back, thanks so much

Ahh, Dow... hence the eyeshades. You're not going to give them up, are you?
