I'm just going to put my fish nets on and I'll be right over Well, you know, I'd love to hang around and play 'troll' with you all evening XxaP, but it turns out I've got to go down to the police station and render my report. It's no big deal, just the local constabulary want to get my official version of the fracas between me, the trolls, the old lady and her poodle. She's filed charges and they want an accounting. I guess there's a fine to be paid too, something about "disturbing the peace". sorry to hear that dear. then again, maybe we've "played" with our "troll dolls" enough for one day, eh? you know, Mr. Steadwood, (if that IS your real name) i can totally relate to your desire to create a warm, loving, safe environment for your inner child. and i think it's really neat that you've been able to project parts of your own persona onto the troll dolls you play with. i'm also deeply impressed that you have managed to create such a richly imaginative world as a backdrop for your adventures. i mean really! the redwood family! treacle mines! brother redwood being 'banged to rights'! you are a very creative fellow, Mr. Steadwood. BUT there comes a time in all of our lives when reality must take center stage. when we must put aside those things from our childhood - no matter how dear to us they are - and take up the toils of adulthood. mortgages, bills, jobs and the daily grind of the real world. these are hardly substitutes for that which you've created, in your own mind, for recreation, now are they Mr. Steadwood? a troll family gathering around the supper table has a great deal more appeal than a mortgage payment, isn't that right, Mr. Steadwood? and yet, somehow you must find the strength, the courage to relinquish this troll fantasy world and join us in the real world. for it is here, in the real world, that you will find your true fulfillment. here is where you must be in order to grow and to realize your own personal potential as a living, breathing human adult. i wish you luck on your journey. a sensitive, caring fellow such as yourself would be a genuinely welcome addition to the world where we all live. but, only you can make the decision to joint us here. only YOU can put away the trolls and pick up the threads of your life in the real world. i sincerely hope we see you here soon. .

You must find what makes you happy, without hurting yourself or others. Mine was taking a train ride to Nagasaki on Sunday morning. I felt good all week. It is just a matter finding a release for your feelings 'A pillow covered in all our tears' | |

I'm manic bipolar (manic depressive) and I have to take med's everyday. Last year I wounded up in BRENTWOOD (mental hospital) and I was out of control. I don't remember the first week there. That how bad it was. But they put me on some anti-phycotic meds and it started to work and I I was let out after 2 weeks. It felt like a month!!! It sucked so bad. Really hurt my dad. After all that I started dealing with it in VERY unhealthy ways, smoking, drinking, drugs, etc. I still have bad days, but I'm better than I was. *B glad that U are free. Free 2 change your mind.

music. plenty of music, and plenty of walking/hiking while listening to music. i even found a spot to claim my own on the mountain/hill side where the wind was always blowing, sometimes really strong, and i could just sit there with no one around and listen to music. the spot overlooks the city it feels empowering to be above the city, looking down at it all and having the wind blow in your face while your listening to some of your favourite music. unfortunately development has put a fence around my rockledge and blocked me from being able to sit there. i'm tempted to take some wire cutters out there one night. i feel an urge to go there again just to think.

How wrong they are It's only the knowledge that the Trolls are REALLY here that keeps me sane... I just don't know why Keep up the work Mr Steadwood . [Edited 10/23/06 8:18am] It is good to know there is ONE person who knows the Trolls to be real The Constable just gave us a ticking off and asked to join the next picnic... He says he likes playing with Troll dolls too Long Live Sanity | |

Can he dislodge THOSE? How about people? Can he treat real, living people who have things lodged up where they shouldn't be? that may be beyond his scope of practice, but it wouldn't hurt to ask | |
