A Niggle and a Nag

Post by Dare2 »

I have to do this.

For a while I have been unwell, and was quoted a 10% chance of survival. (this is not a sob story, btw).

Approx one week before Christmas I was in the Brisbane Private Hospital and going under the knife, the definitive cut, as it were. :? Funny things go through your mind as you lie waiting on the trolley thingo. Including things you should have done, and haven't.

Anyhow, everything went well, and I am very lucky.


The niggle?

One of the things I was regretting was not telling everyone here how much of value that this community has given to me. I still haven't, and it is niggling at me.

So, to everyone here, thank you. Sincerely. Not just for the code.

(And to Fred, I have tremendous respect for your skill).



The nag?

If you smoke, throw away the durries! Or any other similar crap.



Anyhow, you're a great bunch, each day is a gift, and God is awesome.

...mmm, the problem is just that. The look is taken only inside the mind, just where the gods are living :roll:
