Hello Christine, Uh lets see, I... Uh, ff fe ee ee l Uh, ... I don't know, I just can't do it... Mabey tomorrow. Getting in touch with my feelings in front of potentialy 43,000 + people all over the world, well its just a little intimidating, I mean it makes me feel like I am removing my clothes or something. Wait! I did it ! I ff fe eee elll better! I don't mean to be flippant, just trying to be funny. Sometimes I can talk about feelings other times I want to believe I don't have any. Yes I do live in the Seattle area, On the east side, Kirkland. It is a wonderful place, but I have not come to enjoy the rain even after 20 years up here. Now, I do remember one summer in particular when the weather was hot and dry from april to sept. I actually longed for the return of the rain. I thought I would never "feel" that way ever! Speaking of Vashon I had occasion to visit the island on thurday last week. I have been there now a total of four times. Each visit a result of my job. I inspect residential and commercial construction for King County. The ferry ride is short but relaxing, the scent of sea kelp is splendid and greets me just as I drop into west Seattle on the way to the terminal on Fontleroy way. First time I met the island I stopped for lunch, which is significant for this building inspector - I don't take lunches as a rule (don't tell Gary Locke or the Department of Labor) at a section of public access beach which if I remember correctly was opposite Morray (spelling?) Island facing its west bank. I ate my lunch while gazing into the water, taking in a few clouds and then searched the beach for sea shells. I brought some interesting ones home and gave them to my children and they promptly added them to thier collections. Thurday the wind was moving at about 10 miles an hour which made the 95 degree weather all the more wonderful. The skys were cloudless and very blue, it was great to be alive. It was great to be on that island and alone even if it was for work. The only thing I really like about my job is being alone. Or mabey more to the quick - away from all the other commitments and demands of my life. Funny, isn't it, some people go to work each day and long to go home and I find myself at home and longing for the next day so I can go to work. Well, mabey not every day is like that, but just now it seems that way. I reread your posting, the part where you say, " I am feeling very happy more often now because there are very interesting people on the Silicon Investor who are very bright and good writers, too. ..." Some-zink iz troubling you I fear! Some-zink velly deep vith-in your zub-con-zouse, Some-zink zat haz you looking for more than a vay, to pazz, ze time, vith folkze you don't know - at vone in ze mornink! Ah zis is velly interestink, indeed. I hope you find something to fill the void, somehting thta will have depth and lasting reward. But, you know you are lucky to live in the Bay area, the weather is super, the sights are great, you have to be careful about some of the people you meet(mabey a lot of the people), but then that is true where ever you live.. Talk to you again, take care Jim

Help me. Help me.(black and white version) I'm looking for websites or threads where I can find a epi...epa...eped...a skin doctor. I promised S.J. that I would use the PC this weekend to try to locate some help for a coworker's husband who has had a painful skin rash for the last 9 MONTHS!! It came about after a hunting trip to CO. While there he bathed in a stream and possibly injested the water. His wife boiled the water and has shown no signs of having what her husband is afflicted with. The doctors he has seen thus far don't seem to have a clue. Can anyone tell me who or where I might find help to try to broaden his search for a cure or relief from this painful affliction? I've already asked at the "Here's to your health" thread. Thanks for any possibilities Mike

Feelings or I feel awake Does awake count as a feeling ? If said "I feel like a cigarette" would that be enough ? Deep Discussion "I feel gravel in my shoe" "That's not gravel, feel it, it feels like dirt."

"Well, Jim, since this is a place to talk about feelings, let's try. I guess the one policy here should be that everyone at least tries to say something with the phrase "I feel" . . . . at least once during their posting here (although I hate rules in general). I was up at 1:00 am because I was feeling lonely, and not at all sleepy. There was no one awake at my house to cuddle and comfort me, and that made me feel even sadder. I have never really used my English degree at all, except to raise the general cultural level of my life, inculcate my child with a love of words and learning, and develop my thought processes, and that makes me feel very frustrated. I am feeling very happy more often now because there are very interesting people on the Silicon Investor who are very bright and good writers, too. I realize these virtual friendships are somehow ultimately empty, and so I still feel lonely, but now I have something to do at 1:00 in the morning." Grainne at 7/28/1996 11:18:00 AM Well said and those are the main reasons I post, to fill in the empty hours between real contact, of course we also have the psychotic element to consider...
