<<<If I may be perfectly blunt. OK, but if I'm not, how will I communicate?>>> Well, the message that follows that sentence is terrific. I, too, have been trying to be honest and blunt. Doing things the way we always have around here; that is, thinking out loud. Trying to sort between bad assumptions and.....reality. And foolishness. I really did get stuck not knowing what to do. So I thought I should ask, ASK you guys. Anyone here. I think, I'm guessing, Lather has a bundle of the same feelings. Pissed off. At least. I think I was talking with someone here about "free advice." How people never want free advice. But I DO! "I'll take it!!" Shee-it. I don't want to figure things out by myself. Slowly. I don't think clearly when I get stressed; or angry. I have to tell you, I'm feeling better already, after these talks. More road open ahead. More "Road Open," ahead; than Road Closed ahead. I swear I use to be smarter; more flexible; more able. Because this reminds me of then. When I could see that the ground I wanted to claim, all I had to do to claim it, was to move into it. Begin the process. Start the diffusion. Be there. That was probably fifteen years ago, maybe less; but I don't think it would surprise anyone to hear me claim it's the healthy mind that steps over problems. Succeeds. Attempts. Understands. I liked that Greek tone, there. Neat. I guarantee you, the only thing that made sense to me today was not wanting to lose this family and not knowing what to do. The world for Paul without his friends is also "too horrible to contemplate." Hee hee. I didn't like that. No. You may be very right, here: "We just might be a lifeline to the World At Large, and to the sanity that Paul finds by communicating his Paulness." I was wondering who I would write to. "Who will I write to?" I didn't like that, either. I didn't realize, until maybe today, I need friends to write to. Hee hee. A leetle slow. Not sure I understand that, or if that's the way it is, even still. (Now. It's new.) But YOU just said it, for Pete's sake. Wow. Of course, I'm not sure what picture it creates of the guy. That guy, who does that; or needs to; that guy at this end. But I'm not sure I can think that far. That outside myself. I just hope whatever it is, isn't embarrassing. Or vain, for God's sake. So, your being perfectly blunt ~ I like it. "If you leave us, it may hurt you as bad as it will hurt us." Maybe a lot lot worse. It would be foolish to find out. I think I can feel the answer to that. Maybe. Jeez. Thanks, Coby.
