Anyone out there?

I'm still here, waiting for somebody to post something, whereby I can respond in my usual obnoxious, self righteous tone...

Please do not disappoint me.

One large (and well practiced) PITA...

Ken,

I'm back to seeing (fairly well, too) once again, as I've had two eye surgeries recently. I've gotten glass lenses implanted in my eyeballs in place of the fogged up natural lenses... that were there. - what are they called? Well, if my brain still worked I'd remember...

I still wear glasses to be able to have far-sight. And close up vision depends on holding what I'm working at a very specific distance from my eyes. But what the hay. Better that than the alternative - right?

I've spent most of my recent time writing. Science vs. Religion. I'm finding that I can still devote most of my time to doing what I want to do - though - I'm not much of a violin maker anymore (oh well) and have also had to give up making the bows. I've been on dialysis now for 33 years and have recently taken myself off of most all of the drugs I've been taking for decades.

How damned refreshing to be able to (well, almost be able to) think once again...

Tell me my friend -how art thou?

Your friend,
ct

Well, I'm here living and writing, but not making much of anything these days. I have been dealing with some of the excesses that go along with being a "medical object" of sorts for some years.
Since this category is " Everything Else" I believe that I will 'flap my jib for a while...' regarding what it is I am currently doing.

Just for the fun of it' I would sort of like to know who's here?
I do know that there are some regulars posting (Mr. Darnton?) and I will readily admit to not really posting anywhere, anymore, for some consecutive months or years.

I am re-setting my shop up, to restart woodworking, once again, and plan to finish off the last violin I started some years back. I have taken myself off of the many drugs I have been on for the past few years, and find that behind the facade that the drugs provided me (as well as all of the benefit they provided, for, at the time I needed them, I really did NEED them.)

So- that's about it.
Should I bother posting any of this here? Anyone else out there interested in starting up and/or joining a new conversation?

Ollieken - ?
