A learnt a good saying in rehab which was: "If you are pointing the finger at somebody - don't forget that there are three fingers pointing back at you"

This serves to remind me that when I'm flinging accusations around and blaming other people, the first thing I need to do is look at myself and try and understand why something has got me so riled and defensive.

Guaranteed I'll find something within myself that aint so pretty and needs work.

I can then start to feel grateful to the person that Pi$$ed me off for flagging up this chink in my character and get to work on it......

The great advantage of this "system" of dealing with resentments is that I can always change myself. I can rarely change other people, places and things.

Good on yer SuzieQ.  :applause:

I've logged in to delete my messages and am very touched to see that some of you guys have mailed me directly. Thanks so much to you all for your support, understanding and kindness. Appreciated.

I might just carry on dropping in then.....

Not surprised by your (wrong again) opinion at all doganjo. As said, I couldn't care less. I'm taking a chill pill today; suffice to say regardless of any opinion I may have of you, I have taken the time to try and help you on more than one occasion.

The way I see it, at the end of the day there are more important things going on in the world - and in our lives - my cementing of the barn being one of them, so I'm off to carry on with it.

Glad it's not cheerio then, more like au revoir  :)

Good luck with the cementing - hope it's indoors or you'll be cementing the neighbourhood  ;D

What a lot of fuss about nothing!

Forums have a habit of bringing out the very worst retributive (have I just made that word up?) posts which people misinterpret.  When I feel like that, I NEVER reply, but wait overnight and then I see it for what it is most often.  I am sure that Ooh la la will see it like this in a while, and perhaps people can preview their posts and imagine how it reads before posting?  Anyway - love to all.  This is a great place.

Not saying I always practice what I preach though  ;D
