mike,

You have people's support and we can all empathize with what you are going through. It's just that none of us are mental health professionals so some of the stuff you're laying on us is beyond our ability to give advice or rectify.

Bart,

did you ever tried wood powder from same wood, mixed with a little bit of wood glue to fill the cracks?
When you finish it, it gets the same color as the wood.
You just have to take the normal wood glue (don´t know whats available in the US). The waterproof glue avoids that the powder gets a darker color and doesn´t work.

Yes sir tom.....I do use that method quite often. Lately the bow tie key or dutchman repair has become a desirable feature in custom furniture. It has had a revival, and people appreciate the inlay work that is functional. I did not see them very often in the past but lately every furniture maker is putting them in there pieces.

The only thing I was bothered by was the suicide stuff, that was my only bother. We are all here to support each other!! I hope you have the best day possible BC!!! I can't even imagine what your going through!

I didn't realize that I typed anything like that out.
I was just relaying how I would feel if I lost my wife.
I couldn't possibly hurt myself in a permanent fashion.
Believe me, I've thought about it. But thoughts are just that.. Thoughts.
I'll give it a break.

 

[Blak bart]

Guess it's a trend right now.

 

[BC1969]

No BC I didn’t mean to brush it off.
I meant that a public forum is not the place to tell such personal problems.
None of us are trained to handle them.
How would we know what to say?

For whatever reason it is, things like this never occur to me until afterwards.
I'll admit it, I was hoping to strike up a conversation with Crispin...like the old days.

When you had exceptionally difficult math to do in a quick accurate fashion, pops was your Man.

I love you Dad. I miss you.

Crispin is underground. No , not buried.

I , /we can't gauge you online.
Things said to friends in a mental bind are best said where inflection and eyes can be seen. So not to be taken wrong ....

I can cheer for you. But can't kick you in the shin as a gesture rather than hurting you , from here. If that makes sense.
But you have to cheer for me too.

You have quite a wife from your previous descriptions. And a leaked (by you) picture.
And we have similar canine interests.

So , you're not ignored ,or insulted when folks feel overwhelmed by your posts.
An awkward w.t.h. can we say or do moment , followed by a man that's too heavy one. Takes time to fathom , and then too often (with anyone sometimes) a reeling reasons/reaction is it's not my place to reply directly to the issue. But something needs said or it gets repeated?

Foul weather coming in. Gird your loins.
I'll be hunkered down , and you'll probably be out playing in it...

Folks,

Not the best quality audio or video but still a nice tune by 2 musical giants.

Mike,

Here's a link which might lead you in a positive direction going forward.
Dr Jordan Peterson he knows his stuff and explains it very well.

BC Mike, people sometimes leave other people in God's hands. Life is always in God's hands.

It could be that Crispin has already told you all he can offer.

You might try going back to what he has said to you in the past just to make sure you did not miss anything important.

I may have misread it and stuck it with the past........Either way....We are past it today! Maybe I'm just too touchy and have my moments too! It's all good!!

The Thought thing? Real short version......Yeeeeaaaarrrrsss ago! I went looking for someone with a loaded gun on my seat. Thank God!! I didn't find them that night!!!!! My life would have been a lot different. That's just one little example. Thoughts can consume you, and possibly ruin you. Over the years I've learned to sit back take a breath.....And work on redirecting the thoughts to something different. This is why I have so many hobbies,interests, and projects! I have to keep the ole brain occupied! There are people that laugh.."you never finish anything"...I just say.."It's purpose was to redirect my attention and it works" So, I am a quitter!! But I learned(most time) to not let things get that overwhelming to where I want to hurt myself or others...or try not to...If any of that made any sense at all!!! My way of trying to keep from self destructing...I have no clue if it worked? Some tell me I'm messed up! But hey! I have a lot of cool(to me) junk sitting around.


Went to the flea market and a couple of thrift stores this morning after posting..We just got back. Didn't find much. Well? We didn't find anything that I thought I could resell....Maybe I'll try selling on Ebay again this week. I go through phases...

Dang... Where in the world are you BLESSED enough to be able to treasure hunt in such an incredible place?

Just roughly of course..

They are just thoughts indeed images on the wall of your mind,you did NOT create them either Mike.

Do you see you are a prisoner of your own mind? Your soul does NOT live in your head.
