I haven't been here much but I've had his welfare on my mind, and I've missed all you guys, I've just been swamped with helping with thie family reunion. You've eased my mind about him, Ben, and I really appreciate it. :) Nightowl >8# "Don't be a cynic and disconsolate preacher. Don't bewail and moan. Omit the negative propositions.

As long as he is alive, there is still hope. We don't have room for him at my house, and we can barely afford what we have. Our vacation just drained our savings. He knows where to go for help, but is too proud to go to those places. *"Lady I only speak two languages, English and Bad English!" - Corbin Dallas "The Fifth Element"*

I think it's a safe bet that moving-in with you and yours is not an option. Must you explain every ~decision-like thoughtlet that flits in/out, regardless of the implications -- in a public forum? Meaning 'well' rarely counts for shit, actually. (I guess I didn't really care to be informed of how you handle your cash flow, either.)

I don't need to hear about how you're a failure/have problems with X/cannot do Y/etc. in every post of yours. 3. If I posted in the same fashion as you (i.e. every thought in my head, I drool onto the fora) my posting volume would be 10x what it is. Remember Sturgeon's Law : 90% of everything is crap. Including your posts here. Learn to identify the 90%.
