The happy times are ecstatic. A kind word from a co-worker or a heartfelt post from a Babbler leaves me blubbering with grateful tears. Hurtful messages seem directly pointed at me, when I really know they are not. I yell "FIRE" when I'm upset instead of walking away and trying to calm down. There is no calm. There is only the highest heights, or the deepest of valleys. Flat roads elude me. I drag you all along on my roller coaster ride, and for that I am truly sorry.

I wanted to say that I'm on that roller coaster with you, but I have a roller coaster of my own! We'll just have to open up a funfair.
PC, don't be sorry. Babble would not be babble without you.

The blah, the boredom, every day like the last.
I call it paralyzed from the neck up.

PC,

><<< Hey! Most of us are glad to be here with you! We get what we pay for (in time and attention). I perceive a fair trade. A lot has happened, so that balance can't and won't change much, no matter what you say or do to us. We're tougher than you might think; at least I am. We'll be here for you just like you have been here for us.
I enjoy your company.....

AutieMel,
>
> I call it paralyzed from the neck up.<<< I'm not looking for glory here... I just remember when and why I started saying that (George) Carlin-esque phrase 30 years ago. I took two semesters of "Psychology of the Physically Disabled" courses in the University, and at the end I was commenting (negatively) about people are "re-actors" that don't seem toooo dialed-in to their World around them. I was, as you are, contrasting those dear folks who are paralyzed from the neck down.
<<< Also, I wax-self-deprecating on occasion, and explain away my poor performance by claiming to be, "paralyzed from the neck up!" I also say, "I'm un-hooked at C5!" ...meaning no connection from my body to my brain due to a break at the 5th cervical vertebrae (in the neck), implying my body is viable and my brain is dead!
<<< I still see it as a funny juxtaposition. I in no way want to deminish the impact of your insight... I am cheering you (us both) onward!!!
Rod
PS: I'm soooo delighted you posted that!!!!
