Speaking of enhancements... we discovered a line of wrist and ankle braces that make her look like one of the Borg when she wears them. Yummy. mmm....reminds me of a flic one of our home-town boys made. David Cronenberg. otherwise known as the king of venereal horror, wrote and directed the car-crash fetish movie, "Crash". Braces abound. ...gives new meaning to achey breaky heart (..but I digress. No. No. back Mr. Hyde, back...ahhh!)

If you're depressed, you might want to have a look at a book on self-administered cognitive behavioural therapy like "Feeling Good" by Dr. David Burns, but as has been said above, diagnosis is key. Fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, hypothyroidism, infectious mononucleosis, anemia, dysthymia, depression, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, sleep apnea, diabetes, hypokalemia...there are just too many possibilities that might account f

I really need some help that’s not “go talk to someone” or “see a doctor.” I know I won’t listen. Everybody has a doctor. In your case, right now, it's yourself. Not a good choice. Never was for me. That's my experience. Get some real help. This is not enough.

Yeah, inordinate payment delays are pretty much the rule with workers' comp in Canada too. Sometimes I think these frustrating delays are intentional. I didn't get around to properly setting the wireless access today, but will use your suggestions tomorrow. At least I know I have a proper driver.

Thanks Mason. Very useful. I'm seeing the network OK. (it's an agere orinoco card) The ndiswrapper stuff would come in useful if ever I Linux-partition my main machine though, as it is Broadcom. Thanks for the boot tweaks too. I'll sort out the WEP encryption tomorrow. Didn't do anything too useful today in that regard. Been playing Warhammer Dark Crusade, learning some Blitz3D Basic Language, playing with a new POVray modeller called Bishop3D --- gosh I'm good at wasting time. I'll ke

The fact that the change in attitude that I made didn't become clear to me until years later helped, because if I had understood I might very well have been tempted to change back, out of sheer laziness. As it was I was confronted, constantly, by a simple choice: kill myself or struggle on. And suicide is now and was then repugnant to me. I understand and I identify. First, I've chosen to live. Then the idea of personal change and accepting the reality o

How's the Linux thing coming along? Yeah, I did the install. Did the xwindows config. Haven't finished setting up the wireless internet connection just yet, though. Thanks for that linuxquestions site, it was very helpful as was the Slackware site. I was very impressed with the amount of stuff that comes pre-packaged in Slackware, and the amount of helpful hand-holding it did during the install. I'm sure I'll be OK with the rest. I did do an open-so

you're right, we're perfecly imperfect... it gives us something to aim for, to work on ..whether it's a character flaw, a relationship, parenting, whatever... it takes honesty and courage to begin to take these positive risks

Addicts in recovery, such as myself, often find we have almost as big a problem once we have stopped using as we did before. As is commonly said around the rooms of AA and NA, take alcohol away from an asshole and you've still got an asshole. In rehab we are taught that recovery will be 10 percent about giving up our "drug of choice" and 90 percent about learning to live life without the use of that drug, that is, about changing oursel

It means I have to carry a note book around with me and write the idea down. Sometimes, I lose them before I can, which is annoying but I accept this as part of the whole. Very strange you should say that. I started carrying a tiny notebook around just three days ago. Why? Because I found myself at Sunday mass fervently writing things on a coupon book I had in my pocket because I didn't have anything better to write on. As you were saying, the o

I have never been any good at offering that at all despite repeated attempts at trying. I'd make a piss-poor Simon Cowell! Me too guys and gals, but I'd be willing to try if it were invited in a statement following the draft. I am an erasible people-pleaser though.

btw ... East of Eden is a very good movie. yeah... James Dean was the perfect Cal (ie. Cain in that)...the way I sometimes picture Shovel's persona I loved the miniseries "Kaine & Abel" from the book by Jeffrey Archer also on the born "good" born / born "bad" theme. Kinda like stories about getting stuck in family roles we didn't ask for.

Cheers! (I've downloaded the slackware images. If it's the case that I'll have to do more at the CLI level I won't mind at all. It will be a good refresher for the college course I had on it a couple of years ago. It was actually a split AS400 / Unix course.)
