That’s a good plan. Mrs Fui got me into that mindset when we first met. I use to just bottle everything and, and then I’d blow a gasket and be right.
But she got me to talk it out with her, which helps me because once I start verbalising what’s in my head, then I can pick it apart and figure out what’s wrong.
Feel free to call me RickyRicky StickStick if you like. I will also accept Super Fui, King Brad, Kid Dynamite, Chocolate-Thunda... or Brad.

Ante’s in Cobargo was the best. The man spoilt me. He had this pizza oven on a car trailer, and would spend a weekend in a different town.
Nothing has come close
Gee. This thread is pretty sweet. I'll be checking back up on it instead of passing it by.
Hope you're getting your ducks in a line dubs. Good advice ricko.
We all need help and support.
I certainly struggle with depression a few times a year and I haven't made healthy choices. Particularly the last couple of years.
The spiral of silence refers to the idea that when people fail to speak, the price of speaking rises. As the price to speak rises, still fewer speak out, which further causes the price to rise, so that fewer people yet will speak out, until a whole culture or nation is silenced. This is what happened in Germany.
If you do not speak, you are not being neutral, but are contributing to the success of the thing you refuse to name and condemn.

You lads are alright.

There are still yellow ribbons round half the trees in Nambour.
Son, we live in a world that has forums, and those forums have to be guarded by Mods. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Nickman? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for Lucy, and you curse GE. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know -- that GE’s moderation, while tragic, probably saved lives; and my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, keeps threads on track and under the appropriately sized, highlighted green headings.
You want moderation because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that forum -- you need me on that forum. We use words like "stay on topic," "use the appropriate forum," "please delete." We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very moderation that I provide and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather that you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you get a green handle and edit a post. Either way, I don't give a DAMN what you think about moderation.
The spiral of silence refers to the idea that when people fail to speak, the price of speaking rises. As the price to speak rises, still fewer speak out, which further causes the price to rise, so that fewer people yet will speak out, until a whole culture or nation is silenced. This is what happened in Germany.

Oh, don't get me wrong, I enjoy both, but they're very different. My own family functions are just more like your old-fashioned drink too much, fall down drunk, abuse each other type affairs, whereas her family just seem so... normal.
Just had a team meeting where we were talking about the week that was.
I mentioned how I’ve been doing control testing on our complaint management process. I was saying how I sent a fax for the first time in years, because our website has a fax number listed as a source of sending complaints.
Out of the blue one of the guys asked what a fax was. I laughed and was all “Yeah righto, good one, only to find out he was serious. He’s 25 and never used one before...
Couldn’t believe it
