Well the moment we start to feel sorry for ourselves we hopefully come to the reality that so many people out there have it much worse off than we do... Sorry to hear about the difficult circumstances that you've been having to deal with you certainly are a trooper, hang in there buddy.

Our perspective shapes our reality, sometimes it's good to step back and take a look at other peoples problems. Hope you don't catch the bug!

You hang in there old mate and if you want someone to talk to I will find a way to get my mobile number to you. I am only 100ks away on the Sunshine Coast near Caloundra.
Remember the sandpaper rule "Never let it wear you down".

Good luck I feel for you all, and no I am not religious but I am human.

My offer stands, it is sometimes good to talk to someone "outside" the square.

Never feel ashamed to get pissed off and never be ashamed to cry. My old dad told me that when he was talking about having to shoot his horse in France in WW1.
