People are often unreasonable, illogical and self-centered. Forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish ulterior motives. Be kind anyway. If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies. Succeed anyway. If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you. Be honest and frank anyway. What you spend years building, someone may destroy overnight. Build anyway. If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous. Be happy anyway. The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow. Do good anyway. Give the world the best you have, and it just may never be enough. Give the world the best you have anyway. You see, in the final analysis; it's all between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway... -Mother Teresa-

Is there anything anyone of us can do to help?

"Oh my! :lol:

To my Hornet/Isida-M3 - ( Oki nikso 'kowaiksi )

What Strategy...I gota' try that one...It's plain to see how that could confuse the opponent..."Thanks for the laugh!"

"Just imagine. I'm going to sever this one dimensional colloquy, so you can say to yourself - "I Win!".

"I don't argue with children, or adults, for that matter."

You got that right!...Thanks

NOTE: To all who might be offended by my (teacher correction) "parody". Bear in mind that it is just that. A "parody", and not directed at the individual...No offense intended.

Your Welcome...From what you have told me, I know he will find his way...It sounds as though you and your uncle are very supportive. And that's the key...Thanks for taking the time to write!

Thank you for your Honest and heartfelt corroboration...It takes a lot of strength to be so open. "Oh! P.S."

It is I, who am enlightened SilentShadow, by the sincerity of your complement..."Your welcome! And thank you!"

Warning: Not for the squeamish.

On a more serious note. When I was young, we didn't have computers. We did have telephones, or you could stick your head out the window and shout at someone across the way. I find that in a forum. One is not judged by appearance, mannerisms, disabilities, economic status, race, religion, sexual identity, etc....As such, it is our choice, whether or not we share those aspects with other forum members. While in a convention, or public gathering of any kind, those choices are obviously limited. When we see a horse, or dog that is shy; we know that animal has been mistreated, or neglected in some way. However, humans find it difficult accepting their own shyness. Perhaps for the most part, because human shyness has been misconstrued as a flaw; when actually, it is not. Those who take pride in bullying, or abusing animals, or humans unfortunately live amoungst us. I too, understand growing up with shyness. The reasons for that are not important to myself now. What is important, is that "you will overcome!" as I did. There is not one person on earth, who isn't a work in progress. If we were all born perfect, we would never learn anything. And some of us have learned a great deal. As a matter of fact, many of the worlds most intuitive inventors, scientists, engineers, thinker/problem solvers, writters, civil rights workers, etc., have all been very shy, and/or reclusive (individuals) at one point, or another during the course of their lifetime. For those younger forum members who might not realize the juxtaposition of these words. Just remember. "In the stability of your humanistic accomplisments, especially in those works you do for others. You will overcome great adversity." After all...We are "Tankiee's" from every corner of the globe, and all walks of life! - Here our roar! "GRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!" Come on. You can do it! "GRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!" - Louder! "GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!" That's it! "Good Day...And Good Luck!"

Believe me, this is as close as you want to get to the monkeyburn....My luminous aura has been know to warp even time and space, which has proven difficult for anyone wearing a wristwatch within a one mile radius...

"I knew it! I always knew there would be trains in space, one day! I tried to tell them, but nobody would listen!" As for the "mecanical part", that goes without saying.

"Trains are good! Trains are very good!" Some people who drive a lot don't get the importance of the engineer...Aside from the cargo factor, thousands, if not millions would have no way to get to and from work everyday...Good Luck.

Ha, Ha..."Laugh now! But we'll see who laughs last when we bring in the "Gold-Cup" for our rendition of "The Nutcracker", at the Grand Finals!"

Syncronized Water Ballet...Although most wouldn't imagine it to be a sport, it nevertheless is a highly competitive one at that. With long rigorous training sessions, and endless engagements. It's enough to make even dolphins seek dry land, not to mention the "pruning" effect it has on the fingers and toes...But it's fun, sort of gets in your blood.
