Yep, Ol-pine did a good job of breaking up my psychosis, Gave me a chance to almost step away from the things that were consuming my mind. I stopped taking it though, because the nature of my work demands a sharp mind, and Ol-pine made me really drowsey, I can't swallow tablets too well, they get stuck in my throat, and on a couple of accasions it only went down to my gut the next day, and of course I was falling asleep on the job. But my sister Jen, still takes it (as I said, when she wants to) It does calm her down a lot and helps her sleep well. But I think she fears weight gain....

I'll keep you guys posted on her progress...

Yep, Zimbabwe, a white-boy from Africa! Without getting too political on the scene. I left 5 years ago, as there was a mass exodus of the white population, murders, beatings and torture. My entire family have up-rooted and come to the UK. It's quite tough not having a place to call home. I don't blame the black population of Zimbabwe, I would prefer to point a finger at the colonial British who oppressed the Africans in the years before my time and took their away land. However the story has now changed and the country has been raped by the greedy dictatorship that now exists there. I went back last year to get married, it broke my heart to see my homeland in ruins, but it was good to smell the air, feel the sun, touch the soil, see the wild animals and experience nature once again. It was an enlightening experience and as I battle daily with having to adjust to such a different culture, I will live knowing that there truly is "no place like home"... So I guess I'm a nomad who seeks a simple life...
