Howdy Doody. lol I love that. I remember that saying from a tv show from the US that I can't remember the name of at present. Where is my brain?

Thelma,
sometimes you confound the socks off me.

Bear with me please as I'm a little frustrated this morning after attempting to post something that I feel is important on another site which in the end took me about 40 frustrating minutes or more from go to woe...

"Is it to be a social club for chit chat or a serious entity in the world of neurological help."

Why on earth would you think that a newsletter is akin to a social club or that the newsletter would not be handled in a discreet and proper manner to begin with?

What if it was a type of social gathering or a floating get together anyway? Who would that actually harm or hurt?

"i think you are referrring to a sort of floating get together of sorts"

What on earth is so wrong with people finding companionship with others anyway? You obviously don't like doing it but other people might have different needs. I'm far from the social butterfly, but I don't mind if other people find a bit of relief in chatting or humourous pursuits.

Obviously what this site is in my eyes is different from what it is in your eyes 'cause that's what you keep telling me. I've no idea really, because I'm not sure you do know what it means to me personally nor have you ever asked. e.g. do you know anything about me at all? I'm just saying this as an example, it's really a rhetorical question so no need to answer.

Some of us have known each other for 10 years. Some less of course. What's it really matter? The only thing that matters to me is that people have died, people have been born, people have done well, people have struggled, people found no answers, people did find answers, and in the middle of all that people found friends who helped them through it. Some with relevant information. Some with a hug for support. Some came bearing gifts, Some others send messages privately. Some others barely speak yet we know they love and care for us or others nonetheless.

Heck, a lot of us actually don't get out a lot and find it barely impossible to make friends anywhere else, let alone go shopping or do regular things. We need to remember that there's a whole lot of stuff goes on in people's lives that you or I probably know nothing about. I prefer to try to learn a little about people 'cause I love people and I care about them and what's going on in their lives.

:/
