  • Bob, I'm so sorry to hear that. It's quite the adversary, isn't it? I'm glad you told me, and will continue the rest of this in a PM to you tomorrow. Hang in there, friend.
    Thank you so much for those kind words!
    They are most appreciated. :cheers:
    Very best regards;
    Gianfranco
    Thank you, Bob. So much. You're a wonderful friend and I really do appreciate you and am so glad you're among that 52.

    God bless you too and I hope you're keeping those health issues at bay. Take good care.
    You're much too kind. Thank you but I think maybe time has softened your memory. :eek:

    I miss being here. Sometimes I'm my own worst enemy.
    I think how someone responds and reacts to animals tells us a lot about a person.
    My wife has some of the same side effects as I do for entirely different reasons. Her mood swings are worse than mine, so I don't always share what went on at work. We are in this together, for our love for each other and our love for Jesus.

    May God give me the strength to live the life He chose for me, be a good husband to my lovely wife, and help others see Jesus' love in me, to the best of my ability. In Jesus name, Amen.
    Over the last few months, it's become painfully obvious to me that I have holes in my short-term memory, difficulty concentrating at times, and my sense of humor (yes I had one once) has mostly been replaced with sarcasm, and a quickness to verbal anger (not physical). I'm not the person I was when I started here at TOL. I firmly believe this is the result of taking my anti-siezure meds which I will be taking the rest of my life. So far, I been able to apologize to those people I need to here, home and at work. (If I've missed someone, please let me know. I have about 10+ people on ignore.) Depression and suicidal thoughts are also side effects. My anti-anxietiy meds have actually help reduce "incidents", but I had to double the dose, doctor's recommendation and approval.
    It's fascinating to read how life works and unfolds for people... the multifaceted aspects of a person are also seemingly always surprising for me :)
    A couple times while reading, you almost had me want to tell you I could relate to some of the bad times you were talking about - and some of the good too! (I felt very good in Oregon but also some pretty bad happened. For a long time I thought I would never be as happy again as I had been in Oregon.) I hope you are not so depressed now. If it is any comfort we are all in this together. :eek:
    I am so sorry to hear that, going on to my prayer list.

    I think you are so well thought of here - I hope this place cheers you or at least takes your mind off of things...

    I just got through looking at news about Boston's new statue - it's of Edgar Allen Poe! I thought how depressing - for some to hold him up as something great when I think his life must have been so unhappy...

    Yet looking at him may purge people - it may have purged me just looking at the photo of it?
    Or maybe we can all be sad together? The one who made the statue
    did do a great job, maybe she felt she could relate to him.
    I don't know... But don't be sad SObG - you are not Edgar Allen Poe.
