HOORAY - I AM A GRANDAD! Three years of gloom are pierced by a light in the form of my granddaughter. I am over the moon with joy!

Thank you guys - I feel positive and happy. Age is a number and I don't feel like I am an old grandad and the best part is that I get to hand her over to her real parents after playing with her. Bliss! Zapatos and Moontanman, good luck when you join the grandad club, I cannot describe this feeling completely.

In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best thing is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you can do is nothing.

An end of an era. Now weaned off metal tunes.

Instead of giving a hungry geezer a few coins, I bought him a week's shopping - and I feel good!

I have no shame in admitting it makes me feel good to help out others. I bought dinner and a hotel room for a woman and her child a awhile back. I ran into her at a local fast food place and she was trying to get them to let he work for some food. She had been brought down from several states away by her boyfriend and he abandoned her and her daughter to the streets a month later.

Now retired early after 22 years of Science teaching. Emotional farewell to classes last week. No time for leisure - bills still have to be paid!

Thank you zapatos. I went back to the school today just to look at it and remember all the fun experiments I did there. It was my chance to say goodbye but I still felt a tug to the heartstrings. I will be now hanging my "arse out of the window" as they say in Scotland by going into the tutoring business.

I am slowly getting into prog rock as well as reggae and dub now. I haven't given up on metal yet.

“Some of you say, “Joy is greater than sorrow,” and others say, “Nay, sorrow is the greater.” But I say unto you, they are inseparable. Together they come, and when one sits alone with you at your board, remember that the other is asleep upon your bed.”

I hope and pray you will get better mate. And that the pain decreases to a tolerable and controllable level so that you can think clearly again. I look forward to your posts. I find heavy rock music to be cathartic when in pain....

Hey mate,
Have you tried using bone conducting headphones?
When you are out on your bike, you can hear the music and listen out for traffic as well.
I bought a set, but the volume is not great. However, they work.

I'm glad you voice your opinion. That is very important,. Please read the private message I have sent you as well.

Hi mate - you seem to have a lively intelligence and interest in many topics

Interesting that you have taken an interest in tensegrity doc. I can accept that mechanical stresses will change nuclear or cytoplasmic gene expression. However, what does the gene expression do? Is it to oppose external stresses or do the genes affect a whole subset pleiotropically? Sorry I was late with the response but I had to mark exam papers with a short turnover time.

I have to speak to you. Give me your telephone number and international code. It could help you.

blike - we seem to have some posts where people are not willing to teach each other basics. We cannot assume that everyone is a graduate here, although there is a lot of brilliance. We are all learners in different areas and we should be willing to teach and learn from others. I thought I knew a bit about Biology but I am blown away by the sheer brilliance of people on this Forum. Well done guys but teach me stuff - I am dumb.

Dude, best wishes for the Christmas/New Year season. Take care of yourself and those you love! Jimmy
