> Thanks for the support. "We few...we unhappy few...we band of brothers/sisters...for indeed those of you who stood with me through these dark hours are indeed my mentally interesting siblings! From this day forward...until the end of time! Or at least until I get banned from the psycho-babble website!" (My apologies to Mr. Shakespeare. My Shakey's a bit shaky.)

And I'm not just kissing up to you because you {think} I may be smart and/or funny. I know you're smart and funny...i think... :-)

> Remember all great comedy is born of pain. (Not to imply that any of this has been great comedy. Or even good comedy.) Looking forward to rubbing elbows with all of you in the future. Under less "harrowing" circumstances. Hugs and kisses all around...time to pop my Zo-lift...Don't go away, now. I like Mr Shakespeare,too. He was a fine observer of human behavior and had such a way of describing it. I often quote him when I'm talking to myself. For insomnia, I holler, "Macbeth hath murdered sleep". When I do something dumb, I say "frailty, thy name is woman".
I also go around saying, "to be or not to be, that is the question". And then I reply, "That is not the question--I am!". I believe Will knew what it was to suffer from severe mental/emotional stress, or he couldn't have described it so accurately.
For example, when Macbeth was talking to the Dr. about Lady Macbeth, he said, "Canst thou not minister to a mind diseased, pluck from the memory a rooted sorrow, raze out the written troubles of the brain and with some sweet oblivious antidote cleanse the stuff'd bosom of that perilous stuff which weighs upon the heart?" [I don't know that one completely by memory, so had to look it up.]
I'd better skedaddle or no one will want to read this. U'D
