    What a way to start a Monday.

Umm. Tom.

You said you live in Marlboro? I work in MRO2. Please send whatever you are 
inhailing to my office.

	Thanks,

    Is god an Anagram of Alpha ...??
    
    (Add a few letters, take a few out, Then Juggle them about)
    
    Hey presto.... god..!!

    I tried your anagram rule .... working backwards, I used the word "god"
    added some letters, took a few out and what I got was "Pentium".  I
    then reversed the process (for scientific reasons) and got
    "flabberstundthing" so I am not too sure of the rule, perhaps it needs
    some work.
    

This looks like a string from Soapbox.

It's too late in the evening for this sort of stuff.  My head hurts.

    Tom,
    	you may be right,then again you might not be....
    
    	but looking out from inside this goldfish bowl, IMHO,
        I beleive MOTOROLA will be better for us/me.
    
     SQF Jambo #1

    Maybe, maybe not...
    
    But he raises some interesting points re the open standards. IMO, its a
    bit simplistic and leaves us open to be walked over. But there are some
    nice points.

    .. it is *incredibly* funny reading this whole string after Tom's
    notes have disappeared.... 
    
    Thanks Tom.

    re .52
    
    Where'd all his notes go then?

    Apparently his manic fugue ended, and he read what he had written.
    
    Tom. if you're out there, and you were serious about the three lithium
    pills each morning -- check with your doctor.  Based on your behavior
    the past few days, I think you may need an adjustment in the dosage of
    your medication.
                                        andrew

    Tom is absolutely serious about the lithium.  Manic depressive
    behaviour, like diabetes, is controlled as long as the level is
    maintained properly.  As a diabetic will go into insulin shock if their
    level fluctuates outside the normal range, so will a manic depressive
    have an episode.  It's nothing to do with sanity, it's a medical
    condition.  Unfortunately, it's not well understood by the general
    populace and the victim is oft treated as being "daft", when they're
    not.
    
    An acquaintance of mine will start spending during her episodes,
    running all of the charge cards to their limits in a brief period.
    Otherwise, she's a perfect wife, mother, employee, and friend.
    
    A friend becomes very animated, sociable, and generous, unlike his
    usual quiet, somewhat shy personality.
    
    My sister-in-law will change the children's school, her work,
    everything in the house, and take up sudden new passions like playing
    the clarinet, bow hunting, and landscaping.
    
    A real problem manic depressives have is voluntarily going off their
    Lithium periodically, which will result in episodes.  Why this happens
    is not, I believe, well understood, and I don't mean to suggest Mr.
    Newton has done so.
    
    I'd like to ask that we all try to understand this, have some
    compassion, and check the urge to enter cutting remarks.  Save 'em for
    the wags who really deserve 'em. :^]
    
    Best of, Tom.  This notesfile *does* become more interesting at these
    times!
    
    								Tex

    Tex, I wasn't being faceitious.  I, too have friends who deal with this
    disease, and I was making my statement out of concern -- nothing more.
    
    					andrew

    Sorry, Andy, I knew *you* weren't being facetious.  My post was in
    response to others, not yourself, and I recognized and share your
    thoughts and concerns.  Just hope everyone else will, too.

    And we all know who that is, don't we, Tex? :^)
