Since Naomi will not give me the ****ing key I have decided to follow Jesus and be a Christian just like Theland. I am ashamed of my past history here so I'm going to devote the time I used to spend on ab to reading the Bible. No question really because I no longer care about what people think. I'll get all my answers from God from now on thank you.

Theland, Thanks for dropping in for a visit and for sharing the good news (and I don�t mean �The Good News� lol) . . . the pies are stacking up!
The one positive attribute we so often associated with age, wisdom, does not necessarily correlate. �Respect your elders� has never been an axiom upon which to base prejudicial judgments in my experience. If any wisdom I may possess has failed to come through in my presentations the last thing I need is to further incriminate myself by divulging my age (and if you�re now asking, �much younger or much order?�, I rest my case your honour!).
When it comes down to a choice of whether to lead or to follow, mine has with rare exception been to get out of the way!
The term �respect� has acquired a dubious distinction in my estimation. Many apparently fail to discern the difference between a respect derived from admiration and one based on loathing. The quality of respect I pursue is that which is based on an understanding that I have earned by making myself clearly understood. Once this has been achieved my task is completed and it is then up to the individual to make a determination of the relevance, usefulness and applicability of their mutual understanding to living their own life.
I have not come here to purchase alcohol or to find a sexual partner but if you really must �know� and I have not yet made it quite obvious, you will just have to decide whether you can afford to assume the risk of taking my word for it when I hereby declare that I am (if not of a suitable age, none the less) old enough to avert prosecution.
All the same, thanks for asking and thereby affording me one more opportunity to hopefully be understood.

I'm a new woman! (Hurrah! they cry!!)
I've woken this morning realising why I feel so maudlin about this leadership thing. A few days ago I was asked to organise a rather large and complex event ..... and one smaller one ........ and since I have so much on my plate at the moment, I had no option but to say 'no'. I actually said 'NO'! That's something I never do - no matter how laden down I am with other things, I always meet myself coming back to try to fit it all in. Aha! That's it. I was feeling guilty and beating myself up for saying 'no'!! Isn't that awful?! Now logic has sorted itself out, I don't know why I should feel guilty - no one else does - so I've decided I'm not going to - and I feel much better about it today. There you are. I've psychoanalysed myself - and I do believe my wonky brain is a little straighter for the exercise! Thank you for your ears (on AB aka eyes).

Also ... I have an odd story to relate that has been playing on my mind, and upon which I would value your opinions, so eyes at the ready, if you please.
I woke up one morning thinking of someone I hadn't seen or heard from for many years - my best friend from childhood. The impression of her was so strong, I decided to look on Friends Reunited to see if she was there - and she was, so I emailed her, and she wrote back, quite delighted, and asked me to write and tell her all about my life, which I did. I never heard back from her, so wrote twice more, but to no avail. On Monday I received an email from her daughter to tell me she had died shortly after she sent me her message. Isn't that odd? I can't stop thinking about her - I remember her as a child and can hardly believe she is dead. The whole thing seems like a nudge to remind me of my own fragile mortality - probably another reason I've been a bit maudlin.
Coo, what a misery! I'll be drummed out of the Sanctuary at this rate! :o)

Naomi, Depressing? Your tale wouldn't rouse a country&western song. This tune however comes to mind.
Warning: intense
Where was I? So long away I lose the thread.
Anyway, heamatoma - still big and having been to the hospital, and given pills, no improvement. Back to the GP I think. Just spent two days in bed full of coughs colds and weakness, trying to get fit for Monday morning. What a way to spend a weekend!
Thanks for that Mibs, as inscrutable as ever.
Mibs' OMG thread is now on page two, and I've posted on it, and it doesn't show up on the stoolpidgeon sign up top. Could be a new Sanctuary if the Ed pulls the plug at 2000.
It's up to Mibs of course.
That was a strange tale Naomi, about your childhood friend. I'm sure it was more than coincidence you waking up with thoughts of her.
Glad to see you back at work Luna, hope you have no future back problems.
China, the flat, so sorry. Not enough time to browse your law thread. Good luck in your search for another.

This job is very hard physically, and I come home worn out, too tired to even log on to AB as you can see. But, it is satisfying to know I can do it, just about.
Naomi, yes you are a born leader, your posts often reflect you being proactive, but maybe you need to delegate a little more. (How's the 'orrible chairman doing these days?)
I won't bore you with my motives for asking, but why do some people given a little authority over others, abuse it to stroke their own egos? Taken to it's conclusion, we have the third reich, but how many people suffer daily working for "Little Hitlers?"
