That's a very nice thing you said about Christians. Thanks.
MS. Crap. Can't we get you one of those headphone thingies that transcribes your speech? I'll phone you up and read off the screen for you. You could point and click with your forehead.
By the way, how much does your artwork go for? It's sure to go up in price soon. J....K....
Take care and best wishes,
Eduardo
I hope maybe something I said may have helped a person or two
Yea, you did...lots of somethings.
I think about you pretty often, even though we've never met, you became a friend to me by your own choice and that meant more to me than most people can understand. You helped me open my mind and set myself free and for that I'll always be grateful.
Take care, old friend.

Well, that's sad, going down that way w ms. Thanks for saying a goodbye and letting us know the score. At least you were able to squeeze some real living into you afterjw days. At least you have a few pieces of your genetic material walking this planet. That's a lot, not to mention the art that you created and that carries on for others to see. I also enjoyed reading your story parts. I put them back together and saved them in one piece.

I think that you should hang around as long as you can. Never give up. Heck, get a keyboard that types when you talk. There are all kinds of product out there for people with disabilities. I hope that you're just having a bad day and that you'll feel different tomorrow.
Someone sent me this post. I think that you should read it.
Lessons on Life
There was a man who had four sons. He wanted his sons to learn not to
judge things too quickly. So he sent them each on a quest, in turn, to
go and look at a pear tree that was a great distance away.
The first son went in the winter, the second in the spring, the third in
summer, and the youngest son in the fall.
When they had all gone and come back, he called them together to
describe what they had seen.
The first son said that the tree was ugly, bent, and twisted. The second
son said no it was covered with green buds and full of promise.
The third son disagreed; he said it was laden with blossoms that smelled
so sweet and looked so beautiful, it was the most graceful thing he had
ever seen.
The last son disagreed with all of them; he said it was ripe and
drooping with fruit, full of life and fulfillment.
The man then explained to his sons that they were all right, because
they had each seen but only one season in the tree's life.
He told them that you cannot judge a tree, or a person, by only one
season, and that the essence of who they are and the pleasure, joy, and
love that come from that life can only be measured at the end, when
all the seasons are up.
If you give up when it's winter, you will miss the promise of your
spring, the beauty of your summer, fulfillment of your fall.
Moral:
Don't let the pain of one season destroy the joy of all the rest. Don't
judge life by one difficult season. Persevere through the difficult
patches and better times are sure to come sooner or later.
Your story of your consulting trip to bethel should be required reading for everyone here! That truly showcased your talents of expression. I've truly enjoyed reading your perspective on things.

Thanks for letting us know. Thanks for everything you've given.
You remind me that this really is a community--supportive, challenging, infuriating, invigorating, heartbreaking--and whatever we've been able to share with each other will stay with us forever.

Oh Dave I'm sorry.
Reading your Bethel story brought me here over two years ago.
It had perhaps the deepest and most personal thing anyone can find and give: a style.
Every one of your posts had that; it is still here today.
A trail on the sea or a carving on the rock -- not eternal, much better than eternal: yours.
I'm sure many people who know you "personally" love you.
What I can say is I have liked you. Past tense, perfect tense.
I salute you from afar.
Take care,
Didier
just a practical point...
have you tried voice recognition software...that would help because you dont need to type..or see.
plus it would be a laugh cos sometimes it doesnt understand
