That you are closer to my age than the majority of people on here seems comforting somehow. Last year I joined a group called the Older Gamers’ Group. It turned out that the oldest member had just
Back to you and where you're at, I'm reminded of the words of the poet Walt Whitman who wrote "Most men live lives of quiet desperation." I think that's still true, though because we live longer, we
Though I have much more I'd like to share, my body is screaming at me to stop. It is both much more difficult to write with a mouth operated mouse and on-screen keyboard, and requires much more physical effort. I am therefore completely fagged out, flogged, and ready for burial.
In my line of work, which invovles teaching and research, I often wonder if what I do really matters (beyond providing a roof over my family's head and food on the table). Most students exhibit no deep (or shallow, frankl;y) love of learning, and most of my research (in the social sciences) is on topics with answers that frequently seem obvious. I _have_ been doing pro-bono work with non-profits, and that seems rewarding.
And then every now and then someone says something so very kind, such as you have. Thank you kindly. :)
ps I've not played the Bomber game yet, as I'm treating it like a present under the tree that I could open, but haven't yet so I can drag out the suspense.
Pardon my nosiness, but before you were diagnosed with MS, did you play computer games?
Currently I've been on a Fallout 4 binge. Prior to that it was Rimworld. After I've burned out on Fallout 4, I'll be back to Rimworld with all its new mods.I'm saving up the game you gifted me for when I'm burnt out on those two.
One little note for the future, When I give gifts, I do so freely and never expect anything in return. That said, I realy do appreciate your gift, and am having great fun with it. Also, truth be known, it was the only gift I got for Christmas from anyone this year, inside or outside of game world, which makes it extra
I have one of the other two (secondary progressive), both of which are potentially lethal, and in any event will take you apart by cuts. The thing is, isn't that what life does to everyone anyway, only by different means? It's like the cheezy line in every B movie made between 1930 and 1950 in every English speaking country in the world: "Uh oh Franky, I don't think we're getting out of this one alive..." Life is the leading cause of death. Get used to it.
One of my best students ever has MS. Hers didn't manifest until her early 20s. Her dad was also diagnosed later in his life with MS, as I understand it. She is now a professor at a university in Alberta doing work on environmental justice.
