It sounds like quite the adventure. I'm so glad you got to travel and meet some wonderful people. Russ and I just got back from a week's vacation to Aruba. It rained a lot (very unusual since it's a desert island), but we had fun anyway. I thought of you and wondered how your travels were going. I think there's a short story at least in your bridge crossing. What a metaphor for life! Apprehension as you approach the crossing, then enjoying the actual experience... Anyway, you should be proud of yourself. I think it's hard for those without physical challenges to understand the difficulties one encounters. It sounds like you manage very well, not just physically, but emotionally as well. And, since we're fast approaching Thanksgiving here in the States, and I'm thinking of things I'm thankful for, I'm really thankful that you are my friend. Welcome back! lots of love Anne ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 24 Nov 2004 08:26:28 EST From: Bobsart48@aol.com Subject: Re: Borderline and Irony I wrote: "Extending Nuriel's hypothesis, once the marriage itself happened, the songs of indictment did, too. As usual, oversimplified due to time constraints. But that's Joni for you." The irony of full disclosure. If only I had taken my little remaining time to look at my final substantive sentence instead of apologize for lack of time, I would not have written the opposite of what I intended. "Once the marriage itself happened, the indictments stopped".

Hell, yes ! :-) Anyway, the only "Number One" song I know is Joni's. Groan.

Sounds like on many levels, that you *needed* this trip... hugs, Steve ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 25 Nov 2004 02:43:17 +0000 From: tantra_apso Subject: pain in the bum It seems my long drive has done some damage-to my bum. I have beenf retting away about this pain which has got worse and worse and now can't sleep. I thouhgt it was to do with my as yet undiagnosed central nervous system problem(if I ddin't tell you, that is what is wrong-it seems i have a central nvervous system problem but don't know what till i see the neurologist) since i am in pain most of the time. Bu this is well awful. so i called my dr friend. i described to her what it feels like and exactly where it is and she reckons i have a cyst at the base of my spine, between my cheeks, probably cause dby the driving. Phew. Of course I thouhgt I had cancer of the bum. So it is off to the dr again in the mroning and show off my bum. John is in bulgaria till sunday which is a bummer. oh ad today i got all the paerwork for my little 'cripple' badge for my car and other stuff. reams of the bloody stuff that just does me in looking at it. i will have to get someone else to fill it all in for me i can't read my own writing at the bes tof times but now my hands don't work properly i just won't be able to write it all out. they work fine for 'heavy' things like steering and changing gear but trying to do up or undo laces is not always succesful. oh fuck it i don't know why i am beating around the bush with you lot. i am really sick and this is scary. not because of my bum but because of the other stuff. it could be MS. it could be somthing else. i don't know. i am scared that i will get to the point i can't take care of my dogs anymore or take care of myself. I feel scared and angry. i spent all thsoe years getting my head sorted and have had 5 happy years because i succeeded and now it looks as if i will be physically incapaciated insted. still preferable to ther mental pain but really i would have preferred just to have been well and enjoyed the fruits of my hard work. but then we all know life is not fair and we haev to deal with whatever comes. codiene makes me feel funny, noit ha ha, and it is very late here and my bum is throbbiung and i just feel like shit and feel like bitching and maybe i am not making sense so should gert into bed writing emails stoend is not a brilliant thing as i know from trhe apst. i am sure joni has a song for me.... - -- bw colin http://www.btinternet.com/~tantraapso/ ------------------------------ End of onlyJMDL Digest V2004 #336 ********************************* ------- Post messages to the list by clicking here: mailto:joni@smoe.org Unsubscribe by clicking here: mailto:onlyjoni-digest-request@smoe.org?body=unsubscribe ------- Siquomb, isn't she?
