"On the 24th everyone wants the cake"

So what does 'want' mean?

learning over the PC is not for me <_< Tried few times but did no good. Practice use and lots of self-made notes, that's what I prefer.[/b]

What about reading? Not just referece books but stories. You can learn from them as well.
But maybe that doesn't fit in your educational aim?

Really - complaining and throwing your hand (although that gesture might be too exhausting ) won't help.
You know, I did civil service in a hospital.
There was this guy (about 50) who really couldn't do anything. But all of a sudden he said to me one day:"Gimme something else to drink. This tea sucks." I was surprised and very amused at the same moment, since he didn't have the strength to speak when he arrived.
Days and weeks and months passed. We always would make fun of the nurses and he would gripe about the occupational therapist.
He finally left the hospital at close to healthy weight (he was a fether-weight before) and had just to walk on a stick for longer distances.

Why am I telling this?

YOU CAN DO IT!!! :brain: k:

Pardon me if I am impolitely, but what disease do you have that keeps you from getting out ? I know people with bad dignosis and still go out and talk with someone, they can't stand up, they use a walking stick or someone to help, a wheelchair they even walk on their knees and they still go out. There is no diseases that can keep you from socialising. And finally if you believe in your strenght you will start to feel better, as a doctor said once, most of our diseases are in our imagination.

This is deppresing, honestly, I was once like you, the lonely guy, no one to talk with but somehow I passed this giant, no! try titanic obstacle and you will see how nice is to share your hobbies, opinions on politics, art, BTW your drawings are pretty good, I like them. Anyway try and fight your "demons", or they will eat you inside piece by piece. All artists suffer...

I don't know if I really want to broadcast this, but I haven't celebrated my own birthday for I don't know, 20 years perhaps? Sure it kinda sucks but then again there are days every now and then that are better than any birthday and always for silly but unexpected reasons. I guess the latter is what makes those days so great, and the sillyness of it makes it really easy to enjoy without having to spend a single thought on why it is so great. I'll just accept the day for what it is and enjoy it.

Being "strapped down in solitude" by whatever sort of illness can be brutal for sure but I mean, Stephen Hawking wasn't supposed to live past his 20th, but then he decided he was the judge of that, and so he kept going despite everyone saying it couldn't be done. He simply wouldn't accept being "strapped down" and that decision did the trick. I know for a fact that these kinds of "decisions" won't come to mind all that easy, but I also know for a fact that the unexpected can help us make those decisions.

Ok, I think I've said enough now, but do yourself a favour: Be sure we will have a toast here, so drop in on the 27th and who knows what may come out of it

In Japan, when a woman turns 25, they call her Kurisumasu ke-ki (Christmas Cake).
Get the cruel joke?
On the 24th everyone wants the cake, but on 25th nobody wants it.



Well, I'll turn 25 on April 27th. It gets me pretty upset.

Trapped in my own room from 3 years
No friends. No cake. No present. (hmmm...traditional bday of mine )

Just me staring at the ceiling.

My mother used to bake doorstops, fruitcakes for Christmas that would stop bullets. I loved (and ate) them anyways. Now I am married and I look forward to each November when my wife gives me the shopping list for the next batch of Christmas cakes. My brother was gifted with one of my wife's cakes, this year. To stay within the limits of his diet, has has slowly been eating the cake for the last four months. I cannot fathom why anyone would be less than overjoyed to receive such a gift.

I did not start dating until a few months before my twenty-fifth birthday. After a bad relationship that mercifully never progressed to physical intimacy, I met a second woman that seemed to find me attractive. We have been together for nearly the last fifteen years, nearly thirteen as husband and wife.
