Who are we ...?

Thanks, folks! Heady stuff, it is. It is weird feeling giddy and silly and all that schoolboy era stuff

That's your common sense being disconnected from your brain, so your hormones can take over your thinking ...

Oh yeah, I'll probably do a better job of it that way, anyhow :eek:

I've had a few weeks to think about this...

1) I left school at 15. I went to work in a lawyers' office and did nice stuff like debt collection, bankruptcy and winding up and rent and mortgage repossession. I did four Outward Bound courses including a City Challenge when I worked with people in a mental hospital, homeless people, children in an orphanage etc. It seemed stupid to mostly work for rich folks using the law against poor folks.

2) I decided to leave law and became a full-time Community Service Volunteer with people with physical disabilities. I was paid the princely sum of £4.50 a week.

3) I went to college and studied for 2 years fora Diploma in Community Education - Youth Work, Community Work and Non-Formal Adult Education.

4) I was a Community Worker (Senior Community Worker/ Community Development Officer) for 20 years. I got a postgraduate qualification - despite not having a degree.

5) I had a stroke on Sunday 12th. March 2000. Skills, knowledge, experience; qualifications, exist in theory but don't mean much in practise now. Aged 47, nearly 48.
Brain haemorrhage
Brain surgery twice
Post operative clots in leg and chest
Following trouble in chest had angina and heart palpitations
Cognitive disorder (I think slowly. Can't come back with a quick, witty riposte.)
Psoriasis of the major flexures
...dropping to bits...
...nearly 60 now...

6) What do I eat? Most things, except Chicken Supreme which I think is like eating hot vomit!

LOL. My youngest daughter is a university lecturer in China. She's eaten hens' feet, ducks' tongues, cubes of congealed blood and fried cicadas...
