X-Message-Number: 17403 Date: Mon, 27 Aug 2001 14:05:46 -0400 From: James Swayze <> 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.
