FIRST!!!!
YEAHHHHH
HELLO DAVE!!!!!
LOTS OF KISSES FROM SPAIN!!!

SECOND!!!!
OH MY GOD
THAT'S AWESOME!!!!!
BUT YOU STILL NEVER ANSWER MY QUESTIONS...
Just kidding. This site is great, and Dave is one of the best players in the business. Hats off and I can't wait to hear some new shit from you...

P.S. Dave, what ever happened to the Gold Ibanez Custom you had back in the late Jane's (Mach I) days that was based on a Tele body? Do you still have it?

Ciao for now,
Fretboy_1969

dave....very sad now....pouting, no less.....heavy sighs...are you or are you not going to be in the CFR studio on november 12th?

really, I can handle the truth...
jezzi

hey Dave. i have a question. will the paper back version of Don't Try This at Home have any new material that wasn't in the hard cover?

danielle

:)

So you mean it isn't just my Bowflex collecting dust? :)

Have a good one, Dave.

BTW, any of you praying/higher power types out there - I could use some positive energy sent my way. My autistic daughter has regressed and is picking up some violent tendancies. At this point, we have two options - sending her away to a "boarding school" (PC for institution) with other kids like her or the possibility of my husband and I living in separate homes - me with her and he with our other two children - until the right mix of medication can be found to work for her. At this point, I am the only one that she is not violent towards and I am having to withdraw from university for the semester to really help her. I don't know the right decision and it has to be made by Monday.

Amanda

Amanda, my prayers are with you that you find the right path=God Bless. Keep up the good work DN!

Amanda... So sorry you have to make such a difficult decision. I would prob. choose to stay with her, and hope that the rest of the family understood that it's only temporary. If she's put in a home with a bunch of strangers, she may lash out even more. (Just one POV.) But either way, I pray that it all works out for you guys. <3

Dave... Thanks for your answers. It's always nice to hear from you. I sincerely hope all is well.

Maybe I'll "see" you folks around later for CFR.

Love,

Amanda, thoughts and prayers are with you. I hope whatever outcome you and your family choose is one for the best.

Dave, can't wait for the art show. :)

Enjoy Saturday everyone! :)

Peace!
- Sean

Dave, excellent answers today. Lots of insight & help there. Would it be redundent 2 say how lucky Carmen is? :) GREEN DAY 2 Night! CYA@ the 1st hour of CFR!

oops *redundant* AMANDA my prayers are with you.

Wow...good luck Amanda...that sounds like a really difficult situation.
Dave, Thanks for answering so many questions. I recently finished reading DTTAH...great read! After reading your response to the Carmen question, it hit me how far you've grown emotionally. Can you imagine trying to deal with that kind of long distance relationship several years ago?! It never would've happened. You've come a long way baby! Congrats on your new life. :) You deserve all the happiness and love in the world...
Hope everyone here is having a good Saturday and a beautiful rest of their weekend.
Amanda, Claudhina and Jezzi I'll be thinking of ya!

~Amber :)

So is the sundance show on the 19th in Vegas or LA? Im still confused about the situation! :)

Just checking in...
Happy Thanksgiving my fellow Canuks!

Hope everything is going well for you Dave. Have a nice dayy!

Yes..Fun, Dave You're right!!!.....Amanda, Hang in there honey...try to have some fun together...too bad telepathy can't be mastered.... maybe you could communicate that way with her...too see why she is so angry? and find out what she would rather be doing.....my heart goes to you.....

Hey all,
Amanda I honestly don't know what I would do in your situation. But I would really say weigh your options carefully. Things like how good is the "boarding school"? How often could you visit? what would they provide her that you can't at this time? Stuff like that, which I am sure you already have been talking with your husband about. But my best wishes for you.

I can't wait to hear the CFR tonight and chat again. See you guys there. And Jezzi "You can't handle the truth". Just kidding see you in chat guys.

Love on ya

Amanda, I sent you an email, but in case you don't get it, please try to keep your daughter with you as long as possible. Such an important decision should NOT be made hastily, and I don't understand who is forcing you to do so. Also, I didn't know that autism was treatable with meds, somebody enlighten me, that seems scary as well, your daughter,by definition of her condition, is not able to communicate effectively to you what the meds could be doing to her...anyway, I'm no expert, but, as a relative of an autistic, I would say, do whatever it takes to keep her at home
love
jezzi(I CAN handle the truth, but gently)

Dave, Im going to call from switzerland tonight (for CFR)... and do the biggest nastiest sports chalet you have ever heard....

Is that ok?

So we are back to the days of the good ol' 10.

Who will be in the chat for CFR?

I can't believe 10 questions were answered! It's been awhile.I mean, where else could you find this stuff out?!

I can never get into the chat - what's the room password? Or am I just going at the wrong times? Timezones confuse me!

"if an opportunity comes to try something new, I am all for it. I really just dig life, new experiences, people and getting to know different sides of myself. I mean, it's all about having fun, right?"

that's exactlly right!!

Dave...thanks for answering my question! You're really cool.

Dave, awesome show today, You and Carmen are very funny.
And great chat today!

Thanks so much for answering my question Dave. You are a really great person. Keep up the good work.

I am going to start NA next week... Am nervous about it but I need to talk about what is going on and also listen.

Thanks all of you wonderful people I can call friends...because the people that come out of the woodwork when bad things happen are the ones that are worth their weight!

Have a good night, will update soon!

I heard Carmen mention something about you were filming TK as he was looking through the weekly?

Did I miss the CFR cam? or were you filming for later date? Am I even making sense?

jezzi(don't answer that)

So good to hear you on CFR tonight. Loved the show. Great to have Carmen on too.

I just want to explode.

And blast into a million pieces.

Then suck back up into one - free of all impurities.

Non-toxic, clean, free, strong, new.

How do I find myself, here? "Now" is such a long, constant, excruciating process. I try to make myself insane. The more I do, the more sensitive I become. Someday it may happen, but by then, I probably won't realize it.

I want to destroy everything.

I want to erase my past. Every person, every experience, every situation that has made me what I am.

Where is the magic red button? The one that erradicates all memory? The one that fries every shard to a crisp, searing off the corrosion in a shower of acid, leaving only a shiny reflective brushed steel skeleton.

That is what I want. A reset button for life.

Hiya all! Is there a CFR cam? (now I'm getting muddled) Dave, I enjoyed CFR tonight! I woke up right on time for it, but I was too tired to get up and go into chat room. Sorry I missed everyone...not
had enough sleep and rest lately though.

Jez, I can enlighten you on the meds for autism.
Anyone can email me if you want to know more about that. I worked in NJ for several years at CPC Behavioural Health Services. (CPC=Children's Psychiatric Center..they changed it because we had a lot of young adults continuing on there, as well as children.) It is commonplace to give meds to treat autism, especially in the case of aggression, and/or self-destructive, obsessive behaviours. I mean I had people that banged their head repeatedly until it bled unless on meds. So it can be extremely beneficial. It does take some time for the meds to take effect though, and that time can be very tough.
Often people go into hospital during that time, unless they live in a home, where there are several staff members who can rotate to help out.

I shan't go on. If anyone needs to know more, email me.

Take care,
Lisa

Amanda, please email me if you need any advice. I don't want to just jump in, it is yours and your family's decision what to do. I can give you an idea of what the "institutions" are like though, my experience, etc. Really, there are many very caring people working at the schools, and in the residential homes; and the idea is to be part of community, go out, work if you can, make friends, and so on, and keep the family involved. Do you know enough about the boarding school to make an informed decision? Are there other services available in your area?

Gutted i missed most of CFR what i heard was great, ill get organised for next week ! :)

the chat was mint
dave youre an incredible person for answering questions like that :) keep it up! youre awesome.
