Hi @Former-Member
I was successful in getting an appointment for tomorrow !
I am pushing and fighting like Lesley Knope @LeChuck
I pushed and was told again and again he's fully booked no chance for me to get in...so I thought to put it in writing and emailed emailed them "just confirming there are no availible appointments earlier and that I shouldn't call to get one as there aren't any"
After putting it in writing within 5 minutes I got a call offering me an appointment.
I had got to a point where I felt so low and unsafe in this mental health system I think I had given up completely

Very kind words @Former-Member and more credit than I deserve . . . but I'll put em in with the grapes, and this years crush will be a vintage.
I'm just an old scribe that never went to school who likes to pick his own wild mushrooms. I leave it to you to join the dots.
I do have a guitar and follow it everywhere. I'm blessed with a patch of fertile soil hidden in the mountains
and a big old farm house thats more animal than mineral.
Pickers and pokers alike are drawn to the produce in the warm months, and in winter the ghosts evict them and a silence takes hold. I love it . . . but Its time for a change.
You have the feel of someone who has worked with people a lot. A unique skill set shows in the way you control the pages you write. leader ship qualities maybe. . .
Its fun to imagine who's behind the words hey mate.
You put a lot of work into people and have a steady hand, thats what sparked my interest.
I have to tell you I am no leader. Even the girls picking the crops order me around all day, and I'm barred from the packing shed. And then My booker, . . . she scares me. .
So I'm going to go out on a limb and say, I think you do a great job of keeping this vessel centred, and my punctuality with most thinks I embark on barely qualifies me as crew.
As I said once . . nice boat, you have.
I do enjoy the company of the other pirates that keep your thread afloat and will plunder for treasure whenever fleeting gusts of time allow.
Bless you all. I'll send this and have a quick peruse to see i haven't missed a post and
then , Its down to the river to check the yabby nets and savour the thought that I have you folk as friends @LeChuck @EternalFlower @StanD tonys moon base 1

@tonys yabbies! Yabbies!? I haven't had yabbies since I was a little tacker on the farm. Did you get any? Hope you are feeling good today and the moon base is running smoothly 🙂

@LeChuck @hanami @EternalFlower @Former-Member @tonys
hello crew mates,
@LeChuck you sound good. Happy to have your sparkly spirit back.
@Former-Member I respect how you organise your mind & carefully reply to each person. thankyou
@us
I was wondering why we are on a ship. And how we got here. And why are we pirates? I see us as a crew of bandits or misfits - pirates did awful things. I don't wanna be a pirate.
Does anyone else feel like we are gaining more crew? I feel hundreds of new members, maybe afraid to speak yet, or more comfortable listening. I feel a growing silent crew surrounding us, watching, listening.
File:No. 47. Crew member taking a movie of ice berg from the ship, Greenland, 1939
I found this & thought it was cool.
Great work @EternalFlower your success with Dr is inspiring. I have given up too.
Good & bad 🤷
@tonys your imagination is unparalleled. We all need a farmer like you in our lives. May you harvest be plentiful friend..sorghum eh? What can't you grow? Amazing⭐
At least it's not love boat, I guess.

@StanD maybe they are referring to me? My username is based on the ghost pirate LeChuck from the monkey island games. It's a pretty whimsical take on pirates, they battle with insult sword fights and use rubber chickens to get things done. I do think pirates can be that way, abunch of free spirits on a ship, maybe not making a living because they don't want to rob and murder people, maybe just scraping by with buried treasure and camaraderie to pay the bills 🙂
I think this thread is wonderful and I hope more people start to feel comfortable joining in. To anyone out there who feels us, jump in! Join in! Get on the boat/train/car/plane and let us welcome you. Xx all, I hope everyone is ok today. If not, I'm here to chat.
