The Police - Too Much Information Lyrics

(Sting)
Too much information running through my brain
Too much information driving me insane
Too much information running through my brain
Too much information driving me insane

I've seen the whole world six times over
Sea of Japan to the Cliffs of Dover
Oh
I've seen the whole world six times over
Sea of Japan to the Cliffs of Dover
Oh

Overkill
Overview
Over my dead body
Over me
Over you
Over everybody

Too much information running through my brain
Too much information driving me insane
Too much information running through my brain
Too much information driving me insane

I agree Tena- too much information, not enough communication!:D cs

I hope you don't go too far away as I really really like you girl. You too Charley boy.

I know some of the posts have been really stressful and that is bad for all with Parkinson's.

Maybe Kimmy Dawn will come in and let us have her idea of what can be done. I think some of the other sites use some sort of icon or something to illustrate that this is a posting that may upset or stress someone.

But if you are as nosy as I am you will liik anyway to see if it is someone you know.

I myself think that some of the posts tend to go too far and last too long on depressing subjects.

Anyway leave it to her and we'll see what she can do to help.

Peace to you both

Tena you are one of the most read information posters ...lol.

I'm sorry if it seems intense at times.

Maybe an icon would be a good idea. Separating the forums has generally never worked very well.

Tena I hope you don't go too far or too long. You cheer me up.

nite,
Paula

if you think some of the latest posts are depressing wait till Howardh gets into us about New Zealand's "soon to be" glory in the Rugby world cup.

That will be ugly :)

Stay in touch,
Neil.

How about a social place right here?

One can click it from the outside and not even view the main forum for any reason? Would that help?

Suggestions please (if you don't want to talk openly here, don't hesitate to PM). :)

A social forum might be good and we could post the clinical trial stuff in the clinical trials subforum.

I'm up for a workable solution, but have to say that the topic is about survival and finding a cure. The forum is open to everyone needing other patients support and help.

We all need it at one time or another and there are people who are here for everyone.

thanks for suggestions,
paula

I'm up to whatever is going to work here...for the whole.

I've realized that this forum isn't the average forum in that the discussions can be had on various levels and maintained well.

Let's work this, y'all...

We might have a small PD community within this community and I think that's OK.

For instance, we could possibly have a subforum with conversations on the "political edge" (because so much discussion can turn to a political theme due to challenges), or the OT-social, or both.

I've realized something after spending some time with y'all (thank you for allowing that)...and that is that you're a very special group of people and alot of what can help you involves discussing the "difficult". Thanks for the PM's and for the convo here. It's helped me to know you all better. Thank you for embracing me here.

I'd also like to say that anything would need to be discussed and agreed upon before incorporation. *

Would you like to continue the convo here or would you like for me to start another thread?

[kimmydawn]

I want to add, that we (the admin and the core members) are making this forum. We're creating the needs for all PD patients everywhere who might stop by or stay due to need.

Let's create a comfortable "home".

If you could have your "dream home" online, what would it have?

EDITED TO SAY THAT I'VE CREATED ANOTHER THREAD SO AS NOT TO HIJACK, HERE: http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/showthread.php?t=26393

Stay in touch,
Neil.

is going through a tuff period, as we all are, reading about the devastating outcome of one absolute pioneering hero who has touched the very essence of our being and is going through soooooo much trauma no one anticipated, or wanted, or needed. We are at the frontier of research and it is tuff tuff going hearing about such travesties. Through that adversity will come success, and from time to time we need to take a rain check and reflect, learn and improve, so that such traumas are kept to a neccessary minimun. As always the human spirit will not lie down and we soldier on searching searching searching too conquer all frontiers before us now and into the future.

We dream of the day when this frontier--cure for all debilitating diseases-- will be conquered and I can come over to your place mate via Auckland international airport, Hong Kong, & London and talk rugby over a beer or three, before heading off to the Stade de Pareee in early October and watch the mighty All Blacks hold aloft the Rugby World Cup which will give me bragging rights for the next four years.:D

At the moment of glory we can stand together as one in a minute of silence and reflect on those that gave sooooo much.

GO HARD.....SCIENCE

Howard,

You are down right uplifting! Eloquent even..... And of course we all know there is a comedian inside of Neil. Well I got what I needed from this thread thanks guys.

Please define a "social" sub-forum. What would be in there that is currently found in this forum?

Just asking. Don't shot the messenger!

[aftermathman]

Howardh, very eloquent reply.

Neil.

p.s. You are welcome round my neck of the woods anytime, (just give me some notice so I can lock away my wife's jewellery, you know what these Kiwi's are like :) ).

[adelle]

I appreciate a site in which I can ask and receive good info. concerning these issues. It is good that I can read other person's symptoms to be better informed when we visit the dr. I agree that too much data can overwhelm and depress and sometimes we just cannot process any more.

My spouse is 77 yrs. old and has had PD for over 10 years, now changed to MSA, diabetes for 30 years, and AS. We live on a swinging tightrope.

Information is great, and a non serious thread would be good.

Your hard work really helps me keep going and I thank you.

Adelle

[Howardh]

great stuff guys, and Neil the only jewellery kiwis are interested in is the William Web Ellis Trophy tucked neatly away at Rugby Headquarters in Wellington at the end of this world cup. And ready to defend in 2011 when the world cup will be held here in New Zealand.

The All Blacks head off for Paris in seven days in fantastic physical shape. All are doing personal best performances in training and everybody is quietly confident of getting the job done. As you know England, France, South Africa, and Australia, will have something to say about that. Bring it on mate the next eight weeks will be a cracker.

I see you guys have brushed the cobwebs off Laurence Dellalio and rolled him into your squad. At 36 will he go the distance? Good luck to our guys.

GO HARD.......ALL BLACKS
