Sadly I suspect that the members of *this* particular international friendship club (F**** Gaijin) would not fit in too well to *that* particular international friendship club.

I could be wrong but I think a f*** gaijin would be pretty poor company. I know I am when confronted with groups of people who for unknown reasons want to be my friend.

<Sigh> There are days when even *I* don't want to be my friend.

Much appreciate the kind words.

Sadly, I haven't been doing so well these past few days. :(

The manager of the local sports club came to the house and very politely told my wife that my membership had been cancelled. He very clearly understood my situation but the owner was very worried I would do something strange. This was very depressing news for me because I really get along well with the trainers and members who all help me when I get 'confused' and forget why I'm there. Even the manager will drive me home sometimes.

Now some of my old symptoms have returned so I have had to up my meds which effectively disables my thinking for hours on end.

Living in some bad days at the moment.
