Graham has asked, nicely, for the truth. I *always* tell the truth, as I've said many times before. This time is no different!
On the third of January 2012, I was notified by email of a new 'Blog' article written by the psychotherapist I'd met on her narrowboat some while back, Sue Brayne. This is what she had to say:-
Well, here we are at the start of 2012. Normally I wouldn’t hesitate in wishing everyone a Happy New Year. But somehow I can’t bring myself to use the word ‘happy’. Not when we are confronted by such global uncertainty.
Yet on a twelve miles walk yesterday across magnificent Cotswold countryside it was easy to forget the seriousness of what humanity is facing. Thank goodness for that. I think the human spirit can take so much gloom and despondency before it innately begins to seek out something to soothe and calm the soul.
The walk certainly did that for me. It always makes me marvel to know – and trust – that the untidy mess of mouldy undergrowth and all those tight brown buds on skeletal branches will turn within not-so-many weeks into verdant hedgerows and flourishing trees.
For me, this cycle of life and death is truly miraculous and hope-filled. So hope-filled that when I returned home, I updated my living will (also known as Advanced Decision). This clearly states that I do not wish to receive life prolonging treatments or to be resuscitated if and when my quality of life deteriorates beyond what is acceptable to me. This includes dementia related illnesses. It was witnessed by a close friend, with a willing and enthusiastic flourish of her pen. That is what I call a New Year present.
Setting aside the current cross-party political debate about who is going to pay for end-of-life care for increasing numbers of elderly people, I believe that taking personal responsibility for how I want to end my life is the most significant decision I can make for my family, and, indeed, for society as a whole.
Dying back in the natural world is about clearing away the ‘old’ to make room for the new. It is also about dead vegetation creating rich compost for fresh life to thrive.
Unfortunately it appears that humanity is hell-bent on trying to cheat this fundamental law of nature. But it won’t work. Nature is already fighting back, in ways that we can’t – or don’t want to – imagine.
So my 2012 New Year wish is for us all to stop chasing the illusive state of happiness. Rather, I wish for us to learn to embrace and accept our mortality. By doing so, maybe we can experience what it feels like to truly give back to each other.
* In response, @12:38 I commented on her Blog page: I said "I’d be interested to hear your views on this article, Sue":-
I agree with everything apart from choose happiness. In my own experience, I’m not sure we can choose to be happy as a permanent state of being. I think we can choose to improve our lives, so we can feel more peaceful with who we are, and what we do. That leads to contentment.
By knowing life in the way I do, it seems we are constantly facing a state of emotional and spiritual flux. As Buddha said, no matter how good or bad things may seem, ‘this too will pass.’ I like that. It makes me appreciated the moment for what it is. For me, life is about making peace with myself so, as Bronnie Ware points out, when I am on my deathbed, I can accept my death without regrets.

In the meantime, I'd made my post about 'The Top Five Regrets of The Dying" on Scorched-Earth. This is a subject which will touch us all, sooner or later - we *are* all going to die!
Perhaps older readers here will appreciate that every year passes quicker than the one before - in the whole scheme of things we'll be long gone in the mere blink of an eye. We *will* all die - and soon.
As the Aish article endeavoured to explain, it's best that we make the most of the short time which we *do* have. It's very simple really.
How SeaNymph chose to *interpret* my words was her affair.
As FTR will vouch, I'm sure, I always chose my words with care.

Talk to me a minuet. What about these blogs, they can be written by anyone is that correct? Most bloggers are just voicing their personal opinion, right or wrong? Do professionals get involved with writing these blogs?

Blogs can be written by anyone. While 'professionals' usually
tend to do their writing where they actually get a paycheck,
many do blog, as do some celebrities. Think of it as a very
wordy Tweet. Most blogs are usually just the musings of an
individual and the subject can be whatever the writer chooses.

What was the life expectancy of Ferd's son, Graham? He was only 24 and had already cheated death through three separate active duty tours.
Where life and death is concerned you should ignore 'averages' - the
only folk who need to be concerned about same are actuaries.
"Actuaries mathematically evaluate the likelihood of events and quantify the contingent outcomes in order to minimize losses, both emotional and financial, associated with uncertain undesirable events. Since many events, such as death, cannot be avoided, it is helpful to take measures to minimize their financial impact when they occur. These risks can affect both sides of the balance sheet, and require asset management, liability management, and valuation skills. Analytical skills, business knowledge and understanding of human behavior and the vagaries of information systems are required to design and manage programs that control risk." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Actuary
Whilst you may hope and pray that you do live a long and healthy life, your life *could* have ended yesterday. That's *exactly* why most parents effect life insurance to protect their spouse/children - just in case!
You know there are many more elderly folk now than in years gone by. For your stated average of 75.6 years to be valid, that requires many *young* people to die - and die they most certainly do!

I respect your opinion. (I hope you took on board that message!)

You did.

Everything Jenn said was true. I do feel *exactly* that way!
Notwithstanding that, as I have already advised Jenn in a recent video chat, I was well aware that I *was* leaving the door wide open for SeaNymph to hang herself - by making the wrong assumption.
> BD is not telling GM the truth. You meant it in the spiteful way, didn't

Did I deliberately set her up to be *uncertain* of my meaning? Yes, I did! I don't wish her dead but she should, IMO, like all of us, prepare for death. It's not just a possibility .... it *will* happen.
I am truly amazed by her 'head-in-the-sand' attitude after her scare with cancer - in my book that was a warning shot across the bow. She doesn't appear to have learned her lesson though.
I believe in God the Father Almighty,
Maker of heaven and earth:
And in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord,
Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost,
Born of the Virgin Mary,
Suffered under Pontius Pilate,
Was crucified, dead, and buried:
He descended into hell;
The third day he rose again from the dead;
He ascended into heaven,
And sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty;
From thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Ghost;
The holy Catholic Church;
The Communion of Saints;
The Forgiveness of sins;
The Resurrection of the body,
And the Life everlasting.
Amen.

Looks like I had you sussed a long time ago, cunt:
"...doing a 'BD'- deliberately using a potentially ambiguous word or phrase in order to later claim that your intent was that the less malicious interpretation of said word or phrase, given the context, should be taken as read".
Proof positive, cunt, that you're fucking incapable of telling the truth or being straightforward.

Are there any Muslims in Ireland, or do the Leprechauns, Protestants, and Catholics have the ability to take care of it all?

A guy with an AK-47 walking down Royal Avenue in the centre of Belfast, grabbing passers-by, sticking the barrel under their chins, asking them what religion they are.
The first guy he grabs says uncertainly 'I'm a Protestant'. Mister AK-47 shakes his head and moves on.
Stops another guy, barrel under chin, asks 'What religion are you?'
The guy, with a little hesitation, replies 'errrr... I'm a Catholic'. Once again, Mister AK-47 shakes his head and moves on.
He grabs another guy, shoves the barrel under his chin and asks him what religion he is. The guy, with a slight smile on his lips, replies 'I'm Jewish'. Mister AK-47 blows his head off.
The luckiest Palestinian in Belfast!

Sorry, George. I know next to nothing about blogs or blogging. Never had the interest to learn. I hope your question has been answered adequately by others.
I might set up some blogging software on my server, just out of curiosity.

In order to convince you that he wasn't addressing SeaNymph specifically and with malice, he now has to imbue you with the notion that, on a balance of probabilities, the less malicious of the two possible interpretations ie he was using his words in a general way with biblical connotations rather than lashing out at SeaNymph.
What he fails to take into consideration is that there is history on his part (and admitted in the past by him) of a vendetta against SeaNymph, and therefore, at least as far as I'm concerned, he was attempting to stick a knife into SN and twist it.
He's just a slimy cunt, unwilling to admit his malice. See the sig again, mate.

Credit where credit's due, though: I first encountered that joke in either 1969 or 1970 Possibly as late as 1971) in the Queen's University Belfast 'rag-mag', whose title is 'PTQ'.
The title refers to the acronymic version of the first three words of the Belfast civic motto, 'Pro Tanto Quid Retribuamus' ("For (Pro) so much (tanto) what (quid) we shall repay (retribuamus)"):

What you fail to take into consideration is that SN is out to convince everyone just how much of a victim she really is so she can further her own agenda. Her first response will always be to assume the worst. She wants to be seen as a victim so she can complain bitterly and get everyone to see things her way. She's got you hooked and landed.
