The trouble is when bad luck lasts longer than a day, or, as recently, I've felt things building up to this moment. The smashed laptop screen is the deal breaker and has happened since my original post. It has taught me an important lesson about buying laptops that don't have carbon fibre or titanium cases.<BR/><BR/>Ax, got it. Many thanks.<BR/><BR/>Bertas, I'm blubbering as I type. I don't suppose you know anybody who can fix smashed LCD screens in a Sony laptop?<BR/><BR/>Elberry, I'm sure the Elberry method involves running amok in some fashion. And to be perfectly honest, I'd be quite happy to do that. It might make me feel quite a lot better.

Been there, done it, got the t-shirt. <BR/><BR/>You’re seeing only part of the problem, I’m afraid. Trouble with flying away is that the first person you meet on the other side is yourself. And be aware that this is no fancy personal conceit. Bad luck tends to follow...<BR/><BR/>I much prefer being a pessimist. Never look on the bright side. Happy go lucky might gratify the ordinary person, but, personally, it makes me feel extremely uncomfortable. Rather as if I were being set up for some new and as yet unrehearsed disaster. Fact is, I walk around expecting trouble. Only way to go...<BR/><BR/>DreamySelena Dreamyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11629908887644614404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888062989539166264.post-26573253287566723062008-01-09T18:13:00.000+00:002008-01-09T18:13:00.000+00:00(PS.

On days like this, I sometimes wonder how my life could have gone so wrong. I think I'm just socially abnormal. Very few things in my life conform to the norm. Perhaps if I do get a job, I'll start being like everybody else and grow up a bit.<BR/><BR/>(I was going to ask if you got it despite my very roundabout way of sending it.)Uncle Dick Madeleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01124053234469634414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888062989539166264.post-36416972361113599042008-01-09T17:39:00.000+00:002008-01-09T17:39:00.000+00:00Incidentally, I did get your letter.

I'm much more likely to turn into a big blubbering mess. I seem to be annoying everybody who comes into contact with me. On a good day, this would be deliberate. Today, it's not. I'm a walking disaster zone.
