Embarrassment

Phew,

Wow, just finished reading the whole thread, and had to restrain myself a few times, from replying til I got to the end. It's taken a few days.

Jason, I don't feel you have anything to be embarrassed about (except driving a green series ;):p), but I have enough empathy to see why you do. Just remember mate, we're all part of the Land Rover family here and as such support each other. You have had to face more personal challenges than most, but you have plenty of support from Karen. She must be one hell of a good mate. Do you trust her? I presume so, if she has enough confidence in you, why can't you take her word as to your value to your family, friends here and the world in general? I'm not trying to tell you how to think, more things to think about. We all have differing skills and problems, but as a team we need to play to each others strengths and weaknesses.

I don't believe that anyone here will judge you by your problems, I have gained an immense respect for you and Karen, both individually, and as a family.

Remember that the written word can be incredibly powerful, but has limited abilities to convey humour, sarcasm and other forms of wit. It is so easy to take things the wrong way in a forum such as this. Before hiding in humiliation at your words, or taking offence at others, seek clarification; good friends are too hard to come by, to lose over a petty misunderstanding. I'm glad you changed your mind about not posting, and hope we here can continue to help you with your problems, as I am sure you would help others in ways that you can. It would be wonderful to see you out wheeling with other AULROians some time in the future. In the meantime, perhaps you could fit Aus' low coolant alarm for him when he gets it.

I hope your life continues to improve and that the house hunting ends soon and to your satisfaction. As everyone here has expressed, if I can be of any help to you I would be proud do so.

All the best to you both.

PS I dont think that a low level alarm to suit a washer bottle could cope with the temperature of the coolant, and at $20 ish from Supercrap I wouldn't want to rely upon it.

I don't want to down play this Jas, but she might be feeling the pressure too.
Don't be too hard on her. By all means punishment is appropriate but don't be too angry. Hopefully she got the scare of her life and wont do it again.

I did that when I was 10:angel:
I'd like to think I learnt my lesson.

thanks for the kind words this site has worked some small miracles jason is slowly learning to accept compliments. sometimes especially lately it seems that i think nothing else can happen then bam something wipes us out more.I know there are other people who have problems have things go wrong but it helps getting it off my chest i'm not like jason i think well people don't have to read this if they don't want to but suprise suprise lots do and all have only warm wishes it helps. Jason always worries that he say to much or the wrong thing or maybe people aren't that interested to hear our "sob story" and i always tell him there is plenty of other stories on this site they can look at and he is continually suprised at the support.Thanks everyone

If people don't want to read and/or help they won't read the thread. That's fine, if no one reads it, but writing it down helps Jason, bash that keyboard son. That doesn't seem to be the case, everyone who has posted has been willing to assist in any way possible. Sorry to hear about your daughter, bloody kids eh?:mad:;)

Hey sleeps do you smoke..?????
