Everything that happens is for the best, right?


can't agree with that. Things happen in life at random. And sometime this mean only bad or sad things. Can't find some good part in what i did experiment last automn !

but that's only my own personnal particular feeling.


You're certainly right, Erik. I'm sorry, that was very insensitive of me. I was just trying to keep my own spirits up after a rather long and fruitless day (not really looking forward to being homeless in a few months, or however long my savings last). But your point is certainly more valid. I'm sorry, wont do that again.


Yuri, it's me who should apologize.
Was in a bad mood at the time of post, tired (and many people react badly when tired).
And everyone should remenber that others people are certainly suffering problems. I mean real problems. Being homeless, being workless, being sick (a big disease), loosing a parent/friend, being robbed, being in divorce : all this are real problems (and i certainly forget some).
So once more i apologize, i won't pretend my problems are worst than yours (i hate those who make such judgement), and i must admit that trying to keep positive is also a very good point !!
Respectfully .
Eric


No need to apologize, Erik. As GFU keeps pointing out, it could always be worse. The truth is that my problems are largely self inflicted (too much ambition, not enough patience, overestimation of the job market, etc). Yours are completely not of your making. In short, I think that youre right and I was wrong and please accept my apologies for blurting things out that got me on your wrong side.

What I really need is a little of whatever Mike has, outlook on life-wise.

Saw job listing Sunday down here that would fit you, Nik. Ever thought of migrating somewhere else to escape the soul-crushing drudgery of the corporate chattel house?


I had not in the recent past. I really like it here.....but now, after a year of frustration......i'm starting to reconsider......


What area you referring too?


North Carolina...Raleigh-Durham area.


Lots of wood. Nik would fit right in.

* Darius I, one of the greatest rulers of the Achaemenid dynasty of Persia, dies and is succeeded by his son, Xerxes I. During this time the Persian empire extends as far west as Macedonia and Libya and as far east as the Hyphasis (Beas) River; it stretches to the Caucasus Mountains and the Aral Sea in the north and to the Persian Gulf and the Arabian Desert in the south.

[edit] Sicily

* Gelo, the tyrant of Gela, takes advantage of an appeal by the descendants of the first colonist of Syracuse, the Gamoroi, who had held power until they were expelled by the Killichiroi, the lower class of the city, and makes himself master of that city, leaving his brother Hieron to control Gela.


[edit] Deaths

* Darius I, king of Persia (b. c. 549 BC)

At the same time, he would move some of the commoners and nobles from those cities to the new one, giving them much larger estates. Presto, no civil unrest.

Jeepers what a charmer. Except for that, you know, whole misunderstanding about that whole, you know, sending everyone into slavery bit.


Well, they did have very different standards for customer service back then.

Heh...I thought you were talking about enjoying a beer with a pretty girl.

No-AE is a wife-free zone, as her fiber arts are a husband-free zone. Different strokes for all and all that...


So are you saying that your wife isnt pretty or that she isnt a girl? Answer carefully now.....

Someone noticed the pic behind the engine It's a Jumo, recovered from a Ju88 shot down above Lincolnshire. Even as late as the 80's farmers were bringing up quantities of aircraft debris from the war. Not all of it was actual aircraft parts either


Jokes aside, how would anyone have known that if you hadnt left the picture in the shot?

Yes, things are better. But of course there are many things that must improve.
And for you, things are OK ?
