Aloha All,

I don’t know if there is anyone here who will remember me, I don’t see any names that I recognize off the bat, but I just wanted to stop by and say hi. HI!

OK see ya. Just kidding.

I thought about coming back to BT all the time, I really miss it, but it’s been near impossible to do so as of late. My world has been eat, sleep, and study for the last couple of months. After 30 something years of being away from school, it has been difficult at best to get back into the swing of things. With pain still being an issue, along with my pain meds, my concentration and short term memory are all but shot. Yes I’m still taking these stupid meds. I imagine that will more than likely be a lifetime affair, and I’ve tried to wean myself off of the meds, but to no avail; I’d rather take the meds than deal with the pain. I am sitting a lot and this sometimes becomes very difficult unless I take the meds, so meds it is.

May God Bless you all, you certainly have come to the right place. I would have been lost with out this hamlet, especially in the early days; I found and reaped countless benefits and kept my sanity with a place to recite all of my quirky little rants and vents. There were some pretty heated exchanges, but that is what makes this place so special, and interesting. There were some wonderful people here that helped me get through one of the toughest chapters of my life, as far as that goes, I am still basically in the same chapter, but I am very glad that I found this site when I did, it truly did make an extraordinarily difficult state of affairs bearable.

I wish that I had more time to spend here and fire off some exchanges, but the next 3 or 4 years are going to be very trying and will be the foundation for the rest of my life, so my presence here will be minimal, but I am planning on popping in from time to time to stir the waters. I wish everyone well and may you all find that magic potion that makes life bearable once again, it will get better, at least that’s what I tell myself every single night before I go to bed. It will get better…it will get better…it will get better…g’nite!

Hi SW

Just wondered if you realize this is not the original BT. A few people made that mistake at first. The original crashed a while back but should be back soon. Here's the link, in case you don't have it, so you can check to see when it's back up and running. http://brain.hastypastry.net/forums/

Hope you are able to locate the old friends you were looking for. Or perhaps you can make some new ones here.

Aloha MoonAngel,

Thank you for pointing out my faux pas. I guess I was so anxious to post and say hello that I didn't bother to check the site out fully. Perhaps that explaines why there were no other replies. It's unlikely anyone here would remember me. Thank you, as well, for posting the old site. I will watch for, and look forward to, BT"s return. If time allows, I may even pop in here from time to time as well.

Keep the sun shining in your hearts. Best wishes to all.


SW
