Merry Chistmas, To one and to all! All the best and may the coming year bring you all greater happiness.

Pottermania has swept this part of the world again with the launch of the latest book. Working in a library system I guess that I am a little more exposed to this sort of thing than others. It amazes me just how excited some people have been over this. I have not read any of the books - not my...

As I write this there are 4 members and 84 guests. Perhaps it is time to allow guests to have their say again. What do you think?

Courtesy of alcohol I had an amazing experience. I was staying on a semi-tropical island (Great Keppel Island) and I approached the swimming pool late one night when some women started chatting my name "Brian, Brian, Brian". It was just amazing. Because of the alcohol factor I somehow managed to...

I have trouble understanding how some women get upset over males leaving the toilet seat up. I mean hey, it only takes a fraction of a second and virtually no effort to put it back down again so what is the big deal? I suspect that there may be a power play involved. This is not something...

I have always thought that for true love to exist between two people there must be a complete reciprocal bond of love. What I mean is that love must be equally given and accepted. The question I ask is whether it is possible to have this kind of love if a person has issues in regards to...

The thing which really gets to me more than anything else with SA is the nagging thoughts about not living the life that I would like to have lived. The fear of not having a past that I can reflect on with satisfaction like remembering my school dance (I didn't go), the missed opportunities...

Hello Folks, I have found two books to be of real help to me in regards to rationalising my thought processes more effectively to deal with S P and stress in my life in general. I can't recall the name of one which I loaned to a friend whom I haven't seen for quite a while...

Before I developed S P I had no problems with having my photograph taken, in fact I quite liked it. Since I developed S P I have a fear/dread of having my photo taken and I don't seem to be able to smile. The photos usually end up with me looking terrified or pulling a funny face. Does anyone...
