    I see that Priscilla has posted a thread about my wifes situation , sigh, you cant tell anybody anything without it getting around and becoming public knowledge. Im not one to wear my heart on my sleeve or seek public sympathy for my problems, and I planned on saying nothing. Im viewed as a hard man and must preserve my reputation. lol. Still, I am grateful to her for caring and I must admit that reading all the well wishes warmed my heart and made me feel better. It is a comfort. thank you to all.

    I also found Chuckies posts amusing. I needed a laugh. I must admit that, if I were posting that my wife was dying, which, I suppose, she is, and it were not true..in other words Im posting just to manipulate the sympathies of everyone here. Truly, I would be a bastard. I would be a deeply sick individual. I think theres a big difference between stating in forum chat , in the midst of a heated arguement, that your mother died from lack of a blood transfussion, (when in fact it was your father that died)(( which chucky refers to in his posts))....well the difference between that, and posting that your wife is DYING just to manipulate the people on the board is enormous. Even I wouldnt go so far. LOL.

    I admit Ive been a bit testy this week, and said things in Reverend Malks thread that were harsh. I admit that, frankly, I feel very strange within my mind at the moment and am not seeing clearly. I feel a bit emotional and crazy. I do apologize for any inconvenience to Malk. Let those who wish to petition for the tagging of paedophiles proceed to petition with all haste and vigour.

    many thanks to all.

    It's all alright RF.

    We're human, and heaven only knows what kind of stress you are under.

    I think it's nice to see the responses with you (RF) in mind.

    People care, even us maple leaf eatin' Canucks.

    Best wishes, and our thoughts are with you at this time.

    Howdy Refiners. No harm, no foul.

    Actually with your wife's illness as a background, I find it amazing that you're able to function at all. I don't know what I'd do if Nina were so ill. I don't want to intrude on your privacy, just know that some of us care.

    Refiners - Best wishes and kindest regards to you and your wife.

    To those who cannot take criticism and have a lack of sympathy - quite simply - bugger you.

    Refiners Fire,

    I never found you that way - overly critical. I think that you have your ways of thinking, no different that all of us! Please don't let some angry posts chew you up too much. Your views are what make you you. I find that there are LOTS of people here that I totally don't agree with! However, I certainly don't hate them! It's only cyberspace, and everyone needs to know that. After all, it's a lot easier to make a friend on this board that in person; that is how we chat with people whom are pro-war, pro-this, pro-that, argue with them, then move on.

    As for your personal problems, I really do hope that things work out. It's not fair that you need go through all the worry...

    Hugs to all.

    Shamus, It is indeed only cyberspace, but it can tap straight into the human emotions. You can find yourself having a bit of a cry at your keyboard, pretty much Like im doing now reading peoples posts. But having a cry if you feel like one is a good thing. I'll pull myself together soon and head off to the hospital with clean undies and new nightgowns.

    Frankly, when the inevitable happens,a month, a year, two, five years from now, I dont know how I will exist. Constant admission to the cardiac unit at hospital makes you ponder such considerations.

    .."I find it amazing that you're able to function at all."..

    its interesting thaty people you expected to support you avoid you, and people you never expected to hear from rally in support. A sister in law I hardly speak to brings huge dishes of casserole. etc. People are grand really.

    That is how we exist under crisis.
