Am I going mad ????

Hi... Am I going mad like van Gogh ??? I'm not quite ready to cut my ear off yet , or any other body parts... ( Unless I'm paid very handsomely for my trouble).... It's just that I was going to post some info about Whitby Abbey on BigJohns thread..... But I can't find it ! So really...am I going mad ????

And I'm taking screenshots of everything folks... In all the threads , and of all the p.m s ....JUST SO YOU KNOW !!!!

....Yes.....and as it turns out... By a twist of "Fate"..... My "Art ", is indeed to walk across a tight rope...... To those that can achieve that ... I applaud you... There are not many of us that can do that ! I Love Art ....

Oh.....and another thing.... You will all notice that I'm about the ONLY one on the forum that wishes People a happy birthday , and in some cases , pray for them.... ! Nice to know that the other 200.000 can't be bothered , except the odd lovely handful...

Just a bit of perspective on this:-

(a) of the 200,000 odd members here, only around 2,000 are active which just means they've visited this site since we certainly don't get that many posts made here daily! So, it follows that an even smaller percentage ever post and even then only on certain sections...etc...etc...i.e. may not even read that section.

(b) in many instances the person who has a birthday has not recently visited this forum so is unlikely to see it.

Personally, although it may be nice for someone to give me a birthday greeting, unless I 'know' them e.g. have interacted with them on here, I'd be inclined to think it's a nice but somewhat empty/kneejerk gesture. It could have some meaning though if some thought has gone into it i.e. to be more original than just say 'happy birthday' which feels an automatic/conventional response. Just me keeping it real but then I'm a free thinker!.....

Did you find the info about Whitby Abbey on BigJohns thread, e.g. tried using the search facility or going to Big John's profile and searching the threads he's made?

I was gonna say No but one word response isn’t permitted.

Thank you....

....This , as we all know has been a dreadful year for all of us. I myself, was at death's door in October...in hospital for 2 weeks, on oxygen , and in complete agony... As many thousands... Hundreds of thousands, have also been.... But I'm one of the lucky ones. Whitby is close to my heart ...a place I love. So when I wanted to share some more about it on an existing thread that had disappeared , I was upset, as it was a lovely , innocent, little thread, amid the chaos and upset this year has reaped.... And I'm not ashamed to admit that because of all of it, I did, as many have, momentarily "lost the plot".... And it doesn't help , I don't think , that I have also given up smoking, for 2 months now, but it's still hard... All that said, I AM however , very ashamed of how I have spoken to people .. very out of "character " for me... And I could have done this in private, but I chose to do it publicly, because for all that I am, I am nothing if not honest, and will always hold my hands up when I know I've done wrong. I apologize to anyone I have offended by my "tone"... And I owe Osiris a massive apology for the way I spoke. I am sorry.
