Hi @tonys 

 

It was good to "share a cuppa" with you. I was reading your reply now & my heart skipped a beat. I don't know how to convey the extraordinary coincidences occurring, for me anyway. It's difficult to put in to words in a way without sounding boring!

 

SANE is my first experience of online socialising. I am a little like you in your first posts, where I'm not properly built for 'mysterious interactions.' My mind makes up fuzzy images of people, I can see some people more clearly than others. I think my brain is trying to compensate the discomfort it feels.

Technology is still new. Human minds are not adapted to communicate this way. The kids growing up today might be worlds away from the us, the last generation to know life without computers.

 

It's an unusual thought to think that other members have fuzzy images of me in their brain!

 

It totally warps the reality of the things.

 

And yet, here I am, noticing a remarkable coincidence, that to me personally, is significant. I also had another common event with another member before reading your letter. 

 

It's fascinating that things that mean so little, mean so much.

 

I have 3 fat cats!
