Fantastic on resurrecting the head rambler story. It was only near the end that I realised it was a relative speaking, so I feel doubly moved.

Very profound Kate. Very relevant too. Your job must add a lot of stress and strain to you along with what occurs to us all in daily life. I came to realise a long time ago that you cannot help all of the people all of the time. It is a fantastic thing to have a few strong, mutually supportive people around you. That is something I think we all need to build, and to contribute to. But I have found on occasion that I needed to stand up to the blatant users too.

Look after yourself.

My paradise is NOW, grounded in reality. In your comments, I see the mention of ‘souls’. Therefore, there is a belief that when we die, an incorporeal, undefined part of us continues to have consciousness that is continuous with our corporeal previous existence and somehow travels to a nebulous, substanceless realm. Is this paradise, heaven? What is heaven, and what will our souls do during this stay? Belief can be based on sound knowledge, which can only be obtained by two methods: Induction and Deduction. Deduction is the basis of mathematics and logic. If all the premises are true, absolute knowledge can be obtained. Induction relies on knowledge obtained by the senses; this encompasses all scientific knowledge. Although this methodology provides knowledge, it can be falsified or modified depending on the acquisition of new data. Scientific knowledge should be challenged, reviewed, and replicated through peer review. This is how progress in scientific knowledge is obtained. And the method works. There is NO third way to obtain knowledge; we only have these two tools. Now, a belief can be rational, as it complies with the two methods outlined. That is, it is based on sound knowledge, either derived from data acquisition or developed through logical analysis. Where is the data that supports continued existence after our body ceases to function? There is no rational data. Therefore, it represents an irrational belief without grounding or substance, and therefore should be discarded without further thought. What is wrong with Socrates ‘ dreamless sleep? We only get one life; afterwards is oblivion.

Well done, Kate! If I remember correctly in my conversations with your father he had things pretty tangled up what with all the sites he maintained and helped with for various clients and friends including running his own server.No wonder you had such a hard time getting things back up. You should be proud!

Oh! So glad you’re back! I did indeed had that slightly sinking feeling – but obviously (by seeing me coming back again), I didn’t lose hope. Glad, my hope is being proven to be justified!

In reply to Cas. Thanks Cas, we're doing ok! Mum survived a rocky winter on her own but made it out the other side with her carer's help. It's a rollercoaster, you know yerself.

In reply to Elaine. It DID disappear completely, I had such a hard time finding the files! The dreadful feeling of losing it all was such a lonely feeling, if dad was here he'd have it done in a heartbeat. I felt him with me though, celebrating the ressurection.
