Here is, as always, my 2 cents worth.
Since I am back to the board on a regular basis I feel at home here.
I found a family here.
I come to this board often now. And it is not that I am always on the look for
medication tips or therapies.
I want to know if the new Humor post from Nancy is there. I want to know if Bob came up with
something new and fantastic idea like the Kip Scale. I want to see if A Dame made the hole in one.
I want to read about DJ's experiences with the jet ski.
I want to know how Carl is. I want to count the "F"-words in Drummer's posts.
I want to get hugged by Mom.
I always looked for the travel updates from Elaine.
There are posts regarding the search for Drs in the USA. I can't help with it and often I feel sorry, that
I am of so little help. But then I see that there are so many others that can and do, and I feel good.
There are questions I can answer and I do.
Sometimes I just want to vent. Then I do it. I know there are people who care and who understand.
My friends here do care as well, but they can't understand, they haven't been there.
Some people vent here, so I try to lighten them up with my two cents worth.
When I had a nice day, I want to share it with you. To the people who do not like this, I can only say
"Don't read my posts".
When I post what works for me, or when I throw in my experiences people can agree or disagree. But they can't
tell me I am wrong, because I know what works for me and what doesn't.
I am always open for discussion but not for being lectured (when it comes to clusters that is :) )
There are bonds between the people on this board. Some are stronger, some are not so strong.
Some people like to be bound in, others want to keep it more on a professional level.
Ok with me. But don't blame people for their tight relation on this board because you don't want them.
My opinion is, that every person who wants to be part of the family can be it, this is what I found out here.
I do not have a supporter around me here in germany. So the family here are my supporters. And they do a great job.
I feel awful when I think of the next four weeks. I am going to stay in a headache clinic for that time.
No TV, no Radio and no Computer allowed. So I will get withdrawals!
I already feel homesick. And home is where the heart is. And the heart is with the family. Here. On the board.
Tomorrow will be the last time for four awfully long weeks withmy family. Sigh. This gives me the blues.
The whole post probably doesn't make any sense and I probably wasn't even able to state my point, but
that is what I am known for :)
Wishing all readers painfree times,
Lars
