Ok, that started a search that got me nowhereā¦ Figuring itād take some new level of gall to get you going, I was interested to see what prompted you to disengage rather than, well engage and be irkedā¦
Wishing you peace and continued strength Pete, and yeah, stay away from that which doesnāt add value, thereās enough on your plate.

Problem is the drugs Iām on make you hyper sensitive, the member might have just said something theyāre entitled to and thereās a chance I may have read it wrongly. I didnāt want to offend anyone and thought disengaging was the safest option.

Weather in Cape Town today is a balmy 29Ā°c and AC brings much needed respite.
Catching forty winks then starting a fire/braai/barbeque to bring the weekend to an end.

Wanted to chime in on comments further up around your completed painting.
Awesome work Pete, was great for me to have seen the initial sketch of what you proposed to complete and the finished work capturing the essence.
You knocked it out of the park.

Hey Pete, to begin with ā¦ very nice piece of artwork. Really enjoy your style. Itād be nice to see it in the flesh with the tones and textures that would add to it.
On another note, I was thinking about you and the stress youāre enduring lately. As you know, weāve had a whack of legal issues over the last 3+ years that have been causing us a lot of stress, aand itās been showing up in us in all kinds of ways. Things like, sinus, gut, arthitic, and muscular (mostly neck & shoulder pain), and the main cause of all this is the stress.
My point here is: about a month back, my wife was having multiple issues with her teeth and her sinuses, which are often related. Neither the doctor nor the dentist could find any physical problems with her teeth or her sinuses, then finally, after listening to her stress situation, the dentist prescribed some Valium. Well, bugger me, if it didnāt do the trick and eased her pain.
I have a whack of stress-related isses Iāve been dealing with, so I thought I should try a drug test on myself. Hmmm, reminds me of the 70s ā¦ but seriously, every night for about the last 5 years, Iāve been taking 2 major decongestants and 4 or even 5 antihistamines, just in order to get to sleep without drowning in snot.
Soooo ā¦ a few nights ago, instead of taking all the sinus pills (which actually swell yer prostate and make it difficult to pee), I took just 1 antihistamine and one of my wifeās Vallium and that did it. My sinus were completely fine because the Vallium reduced my stress level.
So anyway, if you find that all this extra stress that yer dealing with is causing you any other physical issues, you may find that something like Vallium or CBD oil may alliviate the pain or discomfort that the stress is causing.
Just some thots, hope this helps.
Love,
Dave

Stress causes all sorts of health issues and thereās all sorts of stress some good some not so. I normally donāt mind a certain level of stress and my working life was full of it. However I think the stress of my condition and the unknown plus the stress of building has become a problem. Iād be more inclined to use medial cannabis than Valium but Iām always open minded and itāll depend on what happens next.
Glad your other half is now ok though.

Yes, like you I owned and operated my own business, so I was also very used to a stressful work environment, which, depending on being in the busy season or the slow season, it canāt help but add some stress to your home life as well.
This stress that your family and our family are currently enduring is different as it is more deeply personal and seems to affect us much more severely.
The CBD oil that my wife has been taking does not have any THC in it, but works very well. I have a strong tolerance for drugs from growing up in the seventies, but my wife is quite sensitive to drugs. It was strange that neither of us felt or even noticed the Valium in our systems when we took it. Weāve always heard so much about Valium and expected to feel an effect. But having said that, my wife is more comfortable, as you alluded, to taking the natural CBD oil gummies over the narcotics. I havenāt tried the the gummies yet, but I will soon.
