Yes Dinavan. Good luck to you and I hope the recovery continues to go well.
There is a lovely line from Steve Stills "Suite Judy Blue Eyes":
"Fear is the lock
And laughter is the key to your heart".
Mark Twain was not much of a comedian according to Shields Folk. You are certainly one of a kind if you believe that. To be fair to the great man, I did quote that line from him out of context. Maybe tomorrow I'll have time to look it up... I certainly could not live (or die) without humour. W.C.Fields was caught thumbing through a bible in the months before his death. When challenged with, "What are you doing?" He replied, "Loking for loopholes!"
