Kimba....I always thought it's kind of strange that on message boards
you spend a lot of time discussing life with people...you sort of get to
know them....in some ways some of them beccome "friends"...at least
"internet friends"....but if you croak.....it's possible no one on the
message boards would ever even know it....it would just be assumed
that the person had got busy or decided to quit posting.

that probly why it`s easier to unload feelings in this venue.

face to face or phone is abit harder to weasel out of subject matters.
but here the limitations are very easy to use.

but that`s us.

some people are too vunerable(teenagers) to be on-line.

I`m overwelmed how communication has changed by the internet.

in fact it`s getting harder now to be unreachable and not look rude.

at least cell receptions is still bad enough to claim not getting the call.

I do miss clear phone conversation nowadays.

<<I don`t even celebrate my own birthday.>>

I always assumed that that was a Chinese cultural tradition. In fact, a Cantonese business associate told me a long time ago that Chinese families didn't celebrate their kids' birthdays because it would have encouraged egotism.  I just took him at his word.

i stopped celebrating birthdays a few years ago....lol
at least I say that...
Mick Jagger was right..."what a drag it is getting oh-oh-old"
i will say...i am much more comfortable in my own skin now than I ever was when I was younger
i couldnt hardly walk into a party 25 years ago without having a drink or two
now i could walk into a party thrown by the Queen stone sober and be totally ok

I`ve never heard that custom,but thiers hundreds(thousands maybe) of cantonese villages so who know s what customs poped up in some of them.

i just grow more introverted at my old age.

I outgrew my need for excitement along time ago.

a simple algerbra problem is excitement enough for me

3x(5+8)=78
x=?

Kimba, my best wishes and hugs for you, I'm sorry to hear of your dad's passing.
It sounds like you're feeling a tiny bit better...I hope so. 
Grief is a process. 
I remember something you said about your dad, that one of the reasons he immigrated was he couldn't stand Chinese opera. Did I remember right?

Sorry to hear about your loss, Kimba.

Whenever somebody close to me dies, I think of this story. Take that for whatever it's worth...
