Welcome home Michael!!! Its really good to have you back!
I think most of us know what those hard times can be like, and how debilitating they can be, but remember we are kinda like family, at least thats how Ive always felt here, and we do understand. In any case, as you say, lets carry on!!!  Sure have missed your posts.All the very best, Jim |

Hi Mark, Thank you so much for your wonderful words. I'm 57 and although being a university gratuated anglist and theologian I've never been a saint (unfortunately this does not relate to many girls or a lot of sex though - I just tried to have my full of other feasts after my only beloved girl left me just to pursue her academic career at my age of 26 ...) I realize that by common standards I should be called a complete fool but I just feel that I always had to be true to myself. And God knows I have. Now my spine is so bad that I can hardly walk. Nevertheless, I guess one of the most important truths I've learned in a hard life has been that in a way I provoked my present situation. In my experience, you're seldom as bad off as you personally feel. As soon as somebody offers a helping hand you're way better off. So all I need is a little kick from my soul mates on the forum now and then and I'll be back as soon as possible for as long as I breathe. Thanks again and all my best, Michael Last edited by Matchlock; 30th March 2010 at 04:23 AM. |

We're all glad Mike is back.
BTW 'Nando, you are even worse than I am with the emoticons et al. And that means you walk the narrow fringe line between sanity and ...not-sanity. De musico, poeta y loco Todos tenemos un poco y nosotros mas... |

Oh my god - Jim, my father figure, You, as ever, have found the best possible words! And I sure do know what them damn hard times (please forgive me my slang, my educated friend - I just love pickin' them up from John's (Johnny Cash's) and Kris's (Kris Kristofferson's lyrics) have meant to you, my friend! Hey my dear one, I'll be ringin' you up on Route 66! Meet you on the phone, Michael |
