Wordscanhelp.

This site is the reason that I had for getting involved in computers in the first instance, I never had or used a computer, I didn't need a computer, I do now.

My wife, Sarah, passed away in February 2003, after nearly 40 years of married life, and, as I now know it to be normal, the following period of grieving, a period that is unimaginable prior to it occurring, eventually made me wonder if I could help others.

On www.wordscanhelp.co.uk is my story, I experienced the feelings and pain that all bereaved persons must go through, and, it is only now that I know, that these symptoms are very similar to those felt by others.

To try and let others know that they are not alone, that these feelings are normal, to offer possible steps to be able to start living their lives again.

The site has no advertising, the site is non-commercial, there is nothing to sell or buy, it is anonymous. There is a forum to leave a message, or, just words that you would like to say or share, maybe, a problem shared is a problem halved.


 
 

Statistics.

by joebangles @ 29/03/2007 - 00:06:53

Keying in a word on the "flickr" website displays all the photos with that word somewhere in the text about the photo, i.e._,
"Heaven" brings up 107,151 photos, but, "Hell" brings up 122,553,
"Devils" brings up 112,011 photos, but, "Angels" brings up 291,978.

Other examples from http://flickr.com/ are,

Christian.....163,897
Atheist....... 1,058
God...........216,395
U.F.O.s....... 21
Man.........1,146,141
Woman.......585,375
Good.......1,336,142
Bad...........372,209
Sex............81,802
Superman...26,773
London.....1,928,790
Glasgow......137,552
Barrhead...........322.

That's where I live, at least we beat the U.F.O.s.

What do these figures prove?, nothing, or, anything, just like all statistics.
