Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Tinnitus / July 2005Two years
I had been quite active on this newsgroup for a number of years, ran a support group and all kinds of tinnitus related activities. Things got kinda too much and two years ago this month I dropped out of sight, totally disconnected myself from the wild and wonderful world of tee. Then last week I heard this in a Star Trek Voyageur episode - the character, Seven, in great discomfort because she could no longer hear the voices in her head: "silence is unacceptable!" It made me wonder, ponder, rethink or whatever. I also remember a posting on this newsgroup a few days before I decided to quit my involvement. A good friend, you know who you are, had written some inspiring words about caring, Mother Theresa and stuff like that. Can't remember the whole thing but it kept on popping up in my thoughts regularly the last couple of years. Over the years I've met a lot of great people on this newsgroup and I must admit, I've missed being here. If nothing else, maybe it's like the song goes: "sometimes you wanna go where everybody knows your name..." If you haven't come across them before, my articles on coping with tinnitus are still posted on: http://www.haruteq.com/tin-02.htm - they might give a bit of inspiration to some. I have also made myself available again by reinstating the email link on my website in case any of you wish to contact me. At any rate, I'll check in from time to time again.

I got out of the tinnitus scene too, although I still visit the off topic forums occasionally. Still haven't bought a banjo, tho I think I've gotten a little better on the guitar recently, discovered a few new tricks. My real email is 9@tonyjeffs.com I'm gonna checkout your banjo site!

And you managed to survive the "ages of hostility". There was a lot of good stuff on Star Trek. One of my favorits was when the "counselor" lost his ability to communicate by telepathy and voice, and had to resort to actual person to person communication, had to adapt to working with a handicap. The other favorit was when the planets had solved the war problem by sacrificing an equal percentage of their citizens to avoid the destruction of war and brave captain Kirk showed them how to sit down and negotiate. And today the only movies are remakes! Thanks for the kind word Murray. >And you managed to survive the "ages of hostility" Like yourself, I tried to stay clear of it as much I could and it's real nice to see things have mellowed out for a change. >There was a lot of good stuff on Star Trek Yup, wasn't there and actually the Star Trek series (whichever one you prefer) ought to rate quite high on the list of hi-power coping strategies - they're on late at night for the folks who have problems sleeping, something to help you float away in a fantasy. Sure, some of the episodes are real sucky but closing your eyes and continuing the story in your own mind's eye sure worked (and still does) for me. Pretty much like active/lucid dreaming, guided imagery, self hypnosis but of course, without the big price tags that usually accompany those "disciplines." Thanks for the welcome back and of course, to you too Tony and Elly (just updated the link for you). By the way, in case you were wondering, I'm quite fine thanks. Bart. - Check my most up to date email address at: www.haruteq.com/contact.htm awesome banjo bridges, tabs, stained glass: www.haruteq.com **may your moments of need be met by moments of compassion** Hi Bart! Hello you guys! I too keep my visits to tinnitus groups at a minimum. Really does keep the squeeks outta the ears now that I've habituated. I have to say that out of all the usenet groups I've frequented over the years alt support tinnitus was the most helpful to myself and hundreds like me. That's because of people like you who are in this thread. Bruce Seattle > Hi Bart! Hello you guys! > I too keep my visits to tinnitus groups at a minimum.

Hey Murray, heard what happened to your Bora Bora Juice merger with Pfizer. What the boys at Pfizer really wanted was to merge with the Nubile Maidens who harvest the root. Sorry bud. Look, it's their loss...

Bora Bora root doesn¹t work the same without their harvesting the root in the moonlight. >On 7/4/05 9:16 AM, in article >1120493772.217706.169190@g43g2000cwa.googlegroups.com, "zuMan" [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] >maidens. Bora Bora root doesn¹t work the same without their harvesting the >root in the moonlight. Dr. Grossan: You never did clarify for us how to measure NUBILITY ??? Most of the 'maidens' that Bruce has recruited on the streets of Seattle just don't seem to have the touch. When Bruce told them to "Get out there and hustle", most of them got the wrong idea altogether, but we still had a profitable day ... go figure ! Ciao-4-now, Bob D.

While you're waiting, try a few belts of our new EERIE WAX GOLD with that smooth 300 proof formula guaranteed to numb anything. It's absolutely antiseptic and Bruce will personally assure satisfaction -- when he gets out of the witness protection program -- but that's another story... Ciao-4-now, Bob D.

Bruce Hi Bart, I will get down to reading it all later. But in the meantime can you please amend the link to my site to read http://eebee.net Just remove the cjb bit. Many thanks.
