Although Izal is now banned internationally under the Fourth Geneva Convention (General Provisions, Article 3(c)), suspicions remain that it is in use by US occupation forces in Afghanistan and Iraq and at Guantánamo Bay. I believe that Bronco is held in reserve should Izal supplies run out. Obviously, I cannot reveal the source of my information. Some cowboy, presumably....  |

At this point, I'd like to pop my Mod's hat on and suggest that perhaps we should remember that this isn't intended as a waffle thread: it's my fault for starting the diversion, but the main aim of this thread is to allow those who are not in the best of spirits to open their hearts and for those who wish to offer support to do so. For really serious problems, don't forget that we have the 'Totally Devasted' thread, though I'm pleased to see that not only has it been dormant for a while, but that the member it was set up for seems to have sailed though the difficulties and is now back on course.

OK, well I am down, very down but I can't even talk about it on here. Pity that, it could have been useful perhaps!

Give it a whirl if the spirit moves you, A. Ron, you're of course quite right to point out at waffle is inappropiate here, but I would add a favourite observation of Alex Comfort I remember when I'm doing theraputic stuff-the idea of outwitting the problem ,which can occasionally look like formative waffle.

This is a very well-named thread, because most of the challenges/problems are able to be solved/rectified if only people would MEET them rather than shelve them, or wait for others to solve them instead.

That's a very glib statement. Oh the luxury of having someone else solve my problems for me!!! Unheard of. Unfortunately, I'm not the "shelve it type. Fortunately however I am usually up to the task. Just as well really!  |

Agreed, Milly.
It's a very good thing to share one's problems. Sometimes just declaring them can help to solve them. Advice from intelligent and experienced people, of which we have many on this forum, is very valuable sometimes, and often the fact that we don't know each other personally is a distinct advantage.

I'm glad that someone's commented on Baz's post. I wanted to, but decided I wasn't sure what was meant by it. Perhaps he will expand.

We all need help sometimes. No man is an island, etc., etc.
Sometimes it may appear that one is trying to pretend a situation doesn't exist or is desperately trying to ignore it simply because of a complete inability to find an answer to the problem. Worse still, sometimes there is no answer except to lie low and let it all happen round you, just for the sake of peace. I do that a lot rather than go for confrontation. If people are determined to go for confrontation, my personality is such that I'm more than equal to it but I'd rather scrub the Promenade by hand than have to go through the hassle.

Thank you Mary - it wasn't intended to be in the slightest bit 'glib', and there have been times when I have contributed to this thread as an encouragement and support to the difficult times some are going through. It is extremely important to find support and encouragement from others as a way of facing difficulties, and this thread is a wonderful means of achieving that. My comment, specific to the case, was only a gentle way of pointing out that in the end the difficulties can only be put aside meaningfully when the sufferer (having thought carefully about things, and no doubt thinking positively about encouragement and advice that may have been received) himself/herself finds the strength from within to MEET the challenge and resolve the difficulties. These challenges are, in a way, nothing but a 'test' (and sometimes a very cruel one) that has to be met. Others who may interconnect with them in the difficulty must also eventually come to terms with it, and then together all parties can (ideally) proceed in harmony. But my comment was not intended to be as 'glib' as it may have appeared to others reading it. Baz |
