here is not Al-Anon Conference Approved Literature. It is a method

For three days I couldn't even find the link to MIP eventually running over the entire list of bizarre "could bes" and then finding my way back into acceptance and letting my HP work it out. Now here you all are again. Happy it wasn't a blackout. LOL
Wow Jerry... it's almost surreal.. .it's like... you are stuck in a beautiful tropical paradise, kinda like Gilligan's Island.... pineapples and coconuts and beautiful women in grass skirts everywhere.... it must have been tragic....
hehe.... oh yeah - I forgot - it's all true!!!!

Getting back to putting stock in your imagination again I see. Just for your information most grass here doesn't grow that long. Seriously folks...not having MIPers in and about during the day, time to time makes the day seem arid and empty..."Where'd they all go and how do I get them back?
Glad you made it back. I guess I'll have to learn to make smoke signals. The chatroom was down for a few days, I didn't realize anyone was having trouble getting to the board...
(hugs)

Gosh Jerry, and here was me thinking I alone had been abandoned or even "Sent to Coventry" and wondering WHY, what have I done to be expelled from "The FAMILY"! SO MANY LINKS, so many derivatives, so many it could be's ,am I spelling something wrong, has MIP gone for ever?
PANIC PANIC PANIC resolve, "God grant me the serenity...", it's NOT PERSONAL....it's the gremlins in the ether...they have been etherising and freaking out...IT's NOT PERSONAL (but I really was feeling that it WAS personal).
PHEW, back again...even if I had only been reading and not posting...and taking breathers and contemplating for some weeks now.
At last, I am back in among my sweet family. I hate it when the net goes down and my links are all screwed up. So, what did I do, I got out my notes and I thought of you and the HONU. Yes, I knew they would not let me down.
Hmmm, guess we may have been meant to get back to reliance on God alone and TRUST that 'All will be well, and all will be well!' so...with dragging feet I just kept coming back to the door until it was opened when I knocked upon it and ....
IT WORKED and I am back, just as you are.
Mahalo my friend.
