Subject: Some more that must be said

Friends,

Last Saturday night late when I wrote my words of gratitude I left some
people out. You see I had company and could not be rude and so wasn't able
to get to my email till late and was rushed to get my message posted before
too late for the next day. This afternoon as she left to return home from
her visit I had occasion to reflect on just how sweet and surprising life
can be and who I might be thankful to. That's right I have a woman in my
life and I honestly believe Cryonet members have much to do with it.

I've said openly recently to many that my belief in immortality has given me
hope and sustained and saved my present life. Every one of you has a hand in
that and I think of all of you as friends. From the constant posts with new
medical techniques that show promise for mine and other ailments to the
various experimenters sharing their data to the discussions and the
arguments, all have kept me going. Even if there was not the issue of
donation for my funding you all have already improved my life and may well
have saved it from despair.

The positive attitude for an unbound future I have attained and you all
helped foster made me positive enough to venture out of my solitude and post
something to an online date match service. One young lady read this and
contacted me and after getting to know each other through constant all day
long email correspondence for weeks she traveled to meet and spend time with
me. I know it's terribly off topic but I wanted to share what my attitude
gave me the courage to accomplish. As I shared here once I have been alone
for over eleven years so something had to have had a profound effect fairly
recently to finally budge me to action. I feel Cryonet has to have some role
in this. Please forgive me for sharing this terribly "off topic" personal
stuff here but perhaps it has bearing on the personal interest element of my
story and therefore of garnering publicity for CI and for Cryonics period.
So thank you all for your interest in my posts and for discussions and for
arguments and even differences of opinions.

James
