Marg why do you seem to take differences of opinion as a personal affront? I actually respect everyone's opinion. My opinion is just that there is too much expectation of support from so called experts and a lessening of the tradition of self reliance which in latter years has shown to be in decline.

Very true about Arafat Brian, unsavoury character that he is. Jim Sharpe Shaw, Oldham. -----Original Message----- From: Brian [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, April 22, 2002 3:53 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [GEN-FRIENDS] Difficulty with the stairs It is surprising what can develop from a simple action. I fell on my nose this morning. Sounds funny and I had to laugh later but my hand slipped when I was helping myself on hands and knees on the stairs, and I landed - yes, you guessed it - on my nose. After losing about ten gallons of blood I recovered my composure and screamed for help - which was not forthcoming. Isn't it amazing that when people want help, their message arrives much quicker to you than yours to them. Must be atmospherics. <SARCASM> My address book now has many more names blocked. I hope you all remember tomorrow is St Georges Day. I knew you would - God bless you - but how many knew St George was/is also the Patron Saint of Palestine? I hope he can help them against the present murderous onslaught. I have to think that had Saddam-from-Iraq had done what Sharon has done he would be no more. I know this is not a political list but the world is going mad and you all know, I say what I think. Pity Arafat hasn't got any oil, isn't it?

I'm tempted to interject "Balderdash". What do you say Brian? Since you opened it Marged I guess you concur with the psychologists? Jim Sharpe Shaw, Oldham. -----Original Message----- From: Marged [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, April 22, 2002 5:18 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [GEN-FRIENDS] from today's Telegraph THE first study to examine the effect of sending emails shows it has psychological and health benefits. University students who wrote emails about traumatic experiences, such as the September 11 attacks, were healthier in the weeks that followed than those who wrote about non-emotional topics, or did not send email. The research, conducted by the psychology department of Texas University, shows that those students who wrote about their feelings and sent the emails reported being sick for significantly fewer days than those who did not, and were less likely to miss class because of an illness. Erin Brown, a psychologist at the university, said that writing, even if it was only by email, helped foster greater self-clarity and stopped a person internalising stress. It boosted health and mood, even among pessimistic individuals, and helped a person cope with the stresses of life. "Sure, email is a fast and convenient form of communication and even a method for proliferating corny jokes and outrageous hoaxes," Ms Brown said. "But results showed that even when administered through email, emotional writing still produced positive health outcomes. People have always known that talking or writing about their problems helps them feel better psychologically. "This study provides empirical evidence that written emotional expression is beneficial to physical health, even when conducted through email." --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
