The Sticky Note Hypothesis

[Guest guest]

I want to thank Sue Baily for inspiring the solution that has

brought me back to I & I.

I have acquired a pad of sticky notes. When someone's post offends

me, I will not reply. I will write a sticky note: " Do not read posts

by... " Unless it's a real stinker, I'll forget whatever it was

almost instantly.

Indeed, I have devised a hypothesis, which states that the adhesive

used on sticky notes lasts longer than my capacity to be annoyed by

someone's comments here. If this is true, by the time the note falls

off it should be safe for me to read that member's posts once more.

If it doesn't work, I'll try experimenting with other adhesives. If

that doesn't work, I'll try sniffing their fumes until I'm too batty

to care.

If that doesn't work, I may conclude the list has become

uninhabitable and move on.

But it's not likely to happen anytime soon. I have rarely had an

impulse to snap at anyone here. I can understand why Penny feels

personally attacked, because my response to posts here is for the

most part honestly and overwhelmingly positive. Perhaps that makes

it extra jarring, when something someone says strikes me as

offensive.

So, I don't expect to use the sticky notes much.

Now I know that the air needs to be cleared because Penny thinks

that I have attacked her out of malice.

First, I apologize for any part I played in fostering that

appearance. I have a nervous disease, and can well appreciate how

unpleasant it must be to believe that. I hope you will take my word

for it that appearances, in this case, were misleading.

I bear no malice, not a drop, toward anyone here. If I've given

anyone here reason to think otherwise, I cannot do better than

recommend the splendid motto I found long ago on Penny's

profile: " Don't believe everything you think. "

That is good advice for all of us, no doubt.

As Jim says, " Let's get on with it. " Enough small talk, we have

microbes to master.

Well, there is just one more thing.

Should tensions rear their ugly head again, Tony has agreed to

provide a man sized petree dish and fill it with tapioca pudding,

where Penny and I will wrestle until one or the other of us has had

all they can take.

I figure her superior youth and strength will be countered by the

unpredictable nature of my spastic attempts to defend myself, and

we'll end up having a nice desert with no one getting hurt.

If Penny agrees, we'll videotape the whole thing and use it to raise

funds for the winner's favorite research effort.

You see, there is always a way to work these things out.

See you in the movies,

Agent Scha

Welcome back,

I also have neuroligcal things going on.

I can for example be sitting on the floor playing with the dog and suddenly its

like I am very very tired.

I just whant to sleep thier and then.

When I get irritated I usaually need resting lie down in bed.

Lie down means that breathing is deeper.

To get suffice rest I listen to sound books and decide how many kassets is

needed.

If rise when I feel rested, i rise to early.
