Hello @BlueBay
I think that it is for me to apologise to you, because of the way that I sometimes write things. I can tell you that I am not "over-educated". I did not pass Leaving Cert in Victoria, which was then the year before Matriculation for university entrance. I did a mature age matriculation, but couldn't handle Uni studies. Some might say that I was just lazy. Others, who knew me, might have understood that there were circumstances that really distracted me from studies. The knowledge, that I have acquired and gathered, has been from people with whom I have worked and the few other hobbies, interests and organisations that I enjoyed doing or being a part of.
With what I have written to and for you, may I suggest that you read a paragraph at a time. If you have any questions about the information or ideas in that paragraph, Please, just ask me. I am more than happy to discuss and tease out the meaning of what I have written for you. In fact because I want you to have the information that I offer, and which I would like you to be able to use, it is really important to me that we succeed. And it may be good for both of us.
Don't tell @Sophia1 , but i'm going to pinch one of her statements, and just re-word it a little. I hope that I do not complicate it with my changes. I am sure you will remember reading her original, which I think is very true. Here goes;
{Of course Sophia will know that I have borrowed her words because I have added her forum address. But I hope that she will not mind.}
The person, with whom you are speaking, is the one who needs to change their answer or words. They may not have understood you, or where you are at. They have to keep on changing their answers, or words, until you understand the meaning, that they wish to convey, or pass on to you.
That is in no way a reflection on your intelligence or integrity.
It is they who need to give you the information and ideas; they have the issue and the responsibility to convey, in a way that is clear to you, the information or idea(s) that they wish you to know.
Those last four words are, to my way of thinking, really important.
I hope that you will be happy and feel free to ask me any questions about what I have posted, anything that we have discussed or anything else that may interest you.
I have one other thing that I would like you to consider. I have started up a thread that is just a fun place to be. Lots of different ideas are included and it is pleasant and free-wheeling. The thread is called:
"Henry's Landing Strip & Hangar"
and you can go there with the link in the name above. It is just for pleasant enjoyment, no heavy stuff. There are pictures of planes and roses and moonlit nights, kittens and countrysides, images of the ocean and "delivery cats", {you'll know what I mean when you see it} the imagination runs wild, military Landrovers and rose petals, and a photograph of the wife of Mumi's cousin, sitting, knitting in the snow with someone with a rifle nearby, we believe, in case of polar bears.
Now I am a relatively recent convert to the land of fantasy and dreaming, but that is largely what this thread is about. If you would lke to have a look, I hope that you might find it appealing, enjoy the interaction with other members and quite a different style of writing.
With My Very Best Wishes
