The Old Tin Shed

Well today saying is "Build it and they will come".  There has been a movie (staring Mr Costner) around the theme. For me today is the end of a long process, I have vaguely noted in previous posts of a new project a new start for me.  Something that I can make money with and remove my dependence on others.  Well tonight I have put the last touches on this project and tomorrow we start our advertising campaign. You guys will be first to be notified when we go live.  I hope that this project can give me back my dignity, and give me a reason to look forward to retirement. Again to you all thanks for the support at times this process seemed never ending, and has been hard on me mentally doing all the work that is required.  Its done now and now we can move forward, forward to a better day for all I hope.  Just need a few people to sign up and I am sure the butterflies will go away. thanks

So what do you do when someone refuses to forgive you for something you did?  Well im sure there are volumes of psych study that cover this, and the interactions to lead to such situations.  However I will share my experience in the hope others can get something out of it. My father passed away over 2 years ago now, and I miss him every day.  When he was young my grandparents help raise one of my uncles (non blood), after his father left him abandoned.  My uncle Max and my father grew up together and were close for most of their adult lives. As I have stated before during my mental collapse I hurt my parents pretty badly, and with my financial collapse as well my parents lost the way of life that my income provided.  From the outside it looked like I had intentionally made this happen.  Of course we all know now that it was my self destruction that caused the havoc. My parents and my dads sister forgave me, they understood that it wasn't me during t...

Connor and Stromolo together on the bed Hey all. As intimated yesterday, our old dog has been getting increasingly unwell.  We took him to the Vet this afternoon, and me made the tough decision.  He was in a fair amount of pain so we decided to end it. The old boy himself.  Will miss you mate My partner was very upset, after telling me yesterday he could do it on his own, he now knows why I said he couldn't.   He was a great dog quiet and ever so gentle.  But to keep him alive was the wrong decision.  It hurts to think of him gone, but Im sure he has gone to that big park in the sky with all the other great dogs.  Miss you Stomolo, but we will meet again.

Well i suppose the header says it all.  One of my best friends is in the middle of a major project to bring a business on line.  Now I know lots about the web and computers, I have used just about every version of operating system known to man, and fixed problems that have had others perplexed to the point of replacing systems. So how am I being a bad friend.  When my friend came to me with the idea, I thought it was great.  I convinced him it was worth the effort.  Then the wheels fell off on my end.  I got sick for about 8 weeks and left him in the breeze.  No matter I gave him the guys I use when I have to much work and he has been dealing directly with them.  Cut to this week.  He has just about finished his stock and the website is far from complete.  It needs someones size nine fair up the backside of the main web designer, and a warning about non payment should his lax attitude to this project continue.  It comes do...
