    Hi Everyone .... Well It’s been a long time since I sat here and wrote a little about myself like I used to. In a way this is yet another of those updates, only at this point I am angry beyond belief. Maybe that is when I write the best? A quick Health update which I should have done a long time ago. At this stage I am taking two different Anti Depressants and seeing a Psychologist and a Psychiatrist!! Mentally I am not the best which I guess most of you would have figured from my here again – not here again presence in the Bubble. Some would know I lost my job in May due to a Lung Disease. I have had one specialist Appointment about that and am due to have another follow up appointment in early Oct. As of now I find it nearly impossible to do any physical work for any long period of time. As such I need to re-learn how to do normal everyday things in stints. I am finding that hard to come to terms with, but I will get there. Being a small rural town my chances of work here while I am sick (I also get pretty sick late evening to late mornings) are pretty slim. Money wise I now have maxed out my Credit Card. I have never been in this position before, I have always had a little savings and a regular weekly income, so at this stage I am very stressed out living day to day. Why do all the big bills like insurance and rates always come at the same time? I will get past all this. In regards to what is going on with my Ex. This is why I am so angry today. I while ago I had to change from paying a solicitor to getting legal Aid because I could no longer afford a solicitor. The new Solicitor had a meeting with me in Early July and that went really well. Going through Legal Aid now as well, I set it up so that my Ex and I could go to a Mediation Session before anything legal was done in the hopes that we could come to some arrangement that way. My new solicitor requested a few more documents from me at our meeting and would let me know when mediation (if indeed my ex agreed to it) would be taking place. I have written to my Solicitor twice since that meeting regarding extra documents and let him know if there was anything else he required not to hesitate in letting me know. I haven’t heard anything from him since the meeting. I would have assumed that he and I would have met or spoke at least once more before Mediation took place, so I was just thinking it was a slow process and waited. At the meeting he asked me when I would like to be moved back to Victoria and I said at least from Xmas. So … these things take time obviously. Last night I lay awake in bed till about 6am this morning. I had terrible reflux (apparently due to my lung disease) and didn’t feel very well at all. I finally fell asleep sometime after 6am. I remember waking once to the sound of the phone ringing, but because I was so tired just went back to sleep not thinking much about it. When I got up today I found that I had 5 messages on my mobile phone. Obviously someone needed to talk to me so I checked them right away. It was Legal aid Asking why I wasn’t at the Mediation that had been set up for 9.30am today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now I may not be the brightest light bulb in the pack … but in order to have been at a meeting I think it would have been nice to have been told about it in advance!!! Not only now does this work against me in regards to why I am still here in WA fighting a woman who shouldn’t be getting what she says she wants …. but I would fairly say it has blown any chance I have at all now of reasoning with her. :( I wish I could sue all those involved now for all the stress and depression I have suffered leading up to this point … only now to be in this situation. I really feel now I have no chance at all of getting anything that I feel would be fair for me. Basically now I am way back at the point where she suddenly popped up again and said she wanted half the profits from the sale when I sold my house. I don’t know if I can go through all that again :( Angry? You bet I am and disappointed and depressed and confused and lost. What will I do? Mope for a few hours … then live day by day again. I have a Psychiatrist coming around to see me at 3pm. Poor bugger, he is going to cope it all :(

    The Question… Can you give an example of a grammatically correct sentence which uses the word “and” five times in a row, consecutively? The Story… Just outside of Dublin, Ireland there is a gathering spot known as the “Bear And Boar” pub. During a strong storm one night, the sign for the pub broke and fell to the ground in shambles. The next day, the proprietor made a new sign and had just mounted it to the wall when a patron, Flannagan O’Malley, wandered up: “Good day to you, Flannagan”, he said. The owner then asked him how he liked the new sign. After several moments of observing the design, Flannagan responded as follows… The Answer… I like the new sign, fine. However, if it were up to me, I would have left more spacing between the words “Bear” and “And”, and “And” and “Boar”. The Footnotes… I first heard this fictitious riddle from a friend back in the mid 1980’s, and never forgot it. In the years thereafter, I used the bit on many occasions and almost always had good results with it. Learn it. Remember it. Share it…have fun times with it!
