D.R.B. and Dennis, I'm way behind the curve on this story, just want to repeat that. My aim is still to read much more than I talk, much as possible. My main interest here when first posting was to pass on what I'd read about Sinéad--given what I knew about Dennis' connection--and maybe to give a li...

Hi Karin,

Yes I think I took everything the way you intended, was fun, sorry I didn't acknowledge sooner. You're very kind!

Steve

It's nice to know there's sanity out there. Sorry if it sounds like I'm 'kissing up' to this forum. Had to say it. Don't like having to use 'sanity' but nothing else comes to mind offhand. Some information, locally: A 25-year-old father was sentenced here yesterday to 3 years in jail for beating his...

Karin, I think what I have to say is basically "Wow!" to everything you wrote. Sinéad I think says herself that most people know her only from the few seconds, a long time ago now, on the comedy/entertainment show "Saturday Night Live" in which, at the end of a song, she (not hav...

Clare, I saw on drummer Mickey Hart's wikipedia page that he's involved with "The Institute for Music and Neurologic Function", and there are links. So if it makes sense for you: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mickey_Hart Karin, Thanks for having a look at it, and for saying thanks. A littl...

"Mean Mommies in Grocery Stores"!!! Maybe with "Hundred and Ten Pound" in parentheses right before it! Now I gotta quick get some guys together and we have to delete this thread so nobody steals it! God! "Mean Mommies"! Could it be punk, sort of, a little? Or maybe punk...

Dennis, Just wanted to let you know I finished reading the Psychforums thread you linked earlier. Can't think of saying a thing about it that I'm sure you don't already know is true. "Their side" did very much remind me of something; I almost wish it hadn't because I've lost an incredible ...

D.R.B., Thanks much! I'm fairly sure that I'm pushed to the face-to-face business by the fact that a guy stopped my mother from what to me felt like (and may actually have been) beating me to death when I was four. Other people come from other situations and are driven by other things; there's sure ...

D.R.B: I suppose quotations are boring, but "Words, mere words, no matter from the heart. Th' effect doth operate a different way or something." Point is, I think standing for some little kid about to get whacked in a grocery store is at least a thousand times a bigger thing than writing ...

Dennis, I looked at the first two pages of the Psych Forums thread. Didn't find anything disrespectful about your tone toward Angel. Didn't see it, didn't sense it. Little bleary right now, but I don't think anything blatant on your part would have gotten past. Discouraging that a site administrator...

Folks, When I wrote about wanting to deal "face-to-face" I meant more than anything just standing up in person for what's right, and doing it at the right time. People don't read things unless they think they're already interested; I don't want to push books. To me the bottom line of all o...

Dennis It's all the same topic. I'm coming here directly from having looked at the second Powerpoint presentation of Anna Jenning's life. Her institutionalized years through to her suicide. Not going to be able to express myself well. One huge bright side is that her mother successfully has told th...

Dennis, DRB isn't exaggerating--the other "point of view" has a huge lead. Most people I know and care about subscribe to it. Trauma is almost always of course given at least some "credit", though it too often to me seems to fall into an almost "lip-service" category. A...

Dennis, that be fantastic if somehow Sinead could be successfully helped. Steve

And they're winning. DRB: Colloquialisms might be risky in an international forum, but it ain't over til the fat (bald?) lady sings Seriously, yeah that's scary, the lead they have. But for me it's less scary than a year ago when it seemed I was the only person in the world who thought so. Didn't e...
