^^^I hope you’re feeling better.

There’s experience in your bones, which yields a special type of genius.

In the New York accent, “floor” and “flaw” sound identical.

^Yeah that's true, that thought made me smile.

I'll be more conscious of posting reactions like this one in response to posts I like, even when I don't have anything to add.

You make great points, Data. Very articulate and with depth.

I have trouble determining whether a reply to a post is expected or not if a question isn't asked and it isn't the first post in a thread. I hope I haven't contributed to you feeling ignored, kraftiekortie - I sincerely apologize if I have. Dragon hugs

Wolfman Hugs to you.

I was feeling sorry for myself.

And now you folks have helped me.

I actually replied to you earlier and it didn't appear on here.
I said thank you I am feeling better today.

I have been out to the shops since and made a coffee.
I have also repaired half the curtain rail I broke last night.

Lol....that keeps the economy going...you hire the people with the “light touch” :wink:

You have lots going for you, Temeraire. Your skills probably save lots of quid.

I bet your tea service has lots of flowers on it.

It's nice when we can help people on here, I'm sure you've felt the same way. Too often, the problems and emotions are so heavy here that it's very difficult to make a difference. Everyone needs someone to listen and understand though, even when we can't or shouldn't advise or help directly. I always try to remember that, when I see desperate posts with no replies and I can't solve the problem.

I agree. Some situations presented here really don't have an immediate resolution.

I do believe it's good, though, to offer a few nice words. It's better than nothing. Some people just need that, rather than "advice."

The key for me is learning when to give advice, or just to say a few kind words. When one is in the midst of a meltdown, a dissertation full of advice just wouldn't be useful.

If somebody takes issue with that, I take issue with that. A kind word is better than no words at all.
