You didn't understand the main point: That's not a lesson for you. Life is sadistic!

Man lebt, wie man sich bettet.

Also auf mein Nagelbrett wurde ich gebettet. Seitdem habe ich Wahlmöglichkeiten bei der Farbe der Nägel.

It's so unfair when an interesting thread suddenly turns German. ;-)

you're right. Sorry. Lucky you that i'm not mean as life ;-)

Uhoh, that's quite hard to translate: chaospunk picked up parts of an old german proverb and literally said: 'you live like you bed yourself'
Which really means that life shows up to you like you take it.

I answered metaphorically that the bed of nails i'm lying on wasn't my choice. I can only choose the color of the nails

It’s so unfair when an interesting thread suddenly turns German. ;-)

Unfair... life or German speakers ? :-p

Thank you Der anonyme Nick!

But you can change, @Nick. There is a way. Sometimes you need to wait, but if the time is okay, you can/have to change.

Okay, let's be optimistic. There only has to happen 2 simple things: a very unlikely progress in medicine and a miracle. Never say never.

Research in medicine.

Research in medicine is what i dedicated my life to. But not in areas that are likely to help me. If it wouldn't be so terribly pathetic i could quote Aragorn: ""I give hope to men. I keep none for myself." ;-)

Oh. Aragorn ^^
