    For quite some time I have been depressed over what my wife was trying to do to me. She knows I have to avoid stress because of my heart ( I had a massive heart attack 10 years ago, medevac'd out direct Lae to Townsville airforce base; converted feederliner for just me, a doctor, two nurses and the pilots. Operations in Townsville/Singapore/Townsville over a period of six months. A lot of you probably know where I'm coming from. For years she has kept coming back, making threats, stressing me out, saying she'll keep it up till I have another heart attack. Relatives, cops, courts, all useless. Today my 'good' brother-in-law from Titek came to see me. One of the benefits of living in a small community is that word gets around. He (Ben) is an important man in all of the surrounding villages, and scolded me for not talking to him about the problem. On Tuesday he is going to instruct the village magistrate here to issue a restraining order on her, to be copied to all village elders and community police in both villages. Instructions will be issued to all that if she steps out of line, she will go to jail immediately for 6 months! I felt like weeping, because I've been fighting an internal conflict - my head telling me I have to leave PNG in order to survive, my heart telling me I cannot desert these children. Now I have hope.
    Please, please spare the time to follow the link, see what I'm about, and why it's important for me to sell my books.

    #12... Brian leave the money and we"ll get you stuffed and offer you to Madam Tussauds for future generations to look at and wonder if you could be in anyway be related to them , especially if they came from Whitley Bay. Cappy being of Nordic Ancestry will just have to be burned at a Vikings funeral. Am sure South Shields council would offer the William Wouldhave to perform this ceremony. Believe they may have by now upgraded the Shields Lifeboat. Cheers JS

    Hi John.
    What a depressing subject!! I think you are what you want to be, if you are young in mind that is what you are. I went to the Dr's the other day he had a young woman student Dr in with him,
    After giving me my implant for my prostate cancer, he asked her how old she thought I was, she studied me for a moment then said those wonderful words, about 60. I'll be 84 in July.
    Cheers Des

    #26 Good to hear Des, your one of the fortunate Peter Pans of the world. Wouldn't dare asking someone strange what they thought my age was especially when the wife says I look about 90. Mind she only says that when I call her an old woman. Cheers John S

    Des, tell it like I do, I am a 16 year old with 55 years experience. Thinking that way keeps me young at heart.
    Happy daze John in Oz.
