Hope you're all well and keeping busy. -------------------- Vanessa There are 10 types of people in the world - those that understand binary and those that don't.

From what I can understand we've all been busy on our own things but still keeping the place nice and active. Hopefully you can squeeze some time to enjoy the place too in the future -------------------- anttisimonen.com - .NET developer

Well actually, a few weeks ago I was the victim of quite a violent attack, I wasn't badly hurt physically but was pretty traumatised because he put me through a four hour ordeal, tied me up with a cable and did various things and I did think he might kill me. But anyway, I'm doing ok, he's behind bars awaiting trial in November, so I can feel safe for a few months at least. I'm just trying to get back to doing normal things which is why I popped back here to say hi. -------------------- Vanessa There are 10 types of people in the world - those that understand binary and those that don't.

Cut off his winky and serve it to him with a cheap Bordeaux. As Linda says, be well.

I'm just trying to get back to doing normal things which is why I popped back here to say hi. My god, that's absolutely horrible. I'm so sorry to hear you've been the victim of a crime that, even from your calmly-written outline, is enough to make the blood run cold. Ugh! It's like something from a horror movie. I hope that you're able to make a full recovery, both physically and psychologically, and that your attacker remains permanently and securely imprisoned. You already sound like you're holding it together pretty well. Just go easy on yourself; no matter how strong you are, it will take time. My best wishes, Mike

Rapid Squeezer Group: Members Posts: 180 Joined: 14-February 08 From: England Member No.: 108	Thanks guys. I've kind of detached myself from it really in order to function, and of course I have two kids to look after so I can't afford to fall apart, but I have lots of supportive friends who are phoning and visiting all the time, and I'm starting some counselling soon. -------------------- Vanessa There are 10 types of people in the world - those that understand binary and those that don't.

Look after yourself and trust me, the counselling should really help you.

Rapid Squeezer Group: Members Posts: 180 Joined: 14-February 08 From: England Member No.: 108	Thanks Rich and Popje! I am honestly doing ok, I'm not depressed and I feel positive about the future. I might be a bit of a wreck in November when the trial is on (which is expected to last one to two weeks), but at the moment I'm doing well, the sun is shining and I've got a box of Jammie Dodgers all to myself. -------------------- Vanessa There are 10 types of people in the world - those that understand binary and those that don't.
