Serious topic inside. If you need help...

Message me. I have gotten myself involved with suicide prevention and I offer a free ear/eyes to anyone in the forums who just wants to talk about stuff in general. We are all family here through our love of our Fords, and I don't want to lose any one of us. Sometimes we don't feel comfortable talking to those around us, so I volunteer to help our family here.

I was still getting in the groove of teaching this stuff back then. You guys have my sympathy. If you PM me your city and state, I'll see if there is a workshop going on in your area soon. That way you can have the tools to help as well.

Based on the recent losses both among our family here and of a great supporter of our armed forces and great talent, I just wanted to remind everyone that I am here to help if you are going through rough times.

Reps for a standup guy for a good cause. I echo the same as the OP.

If anyone needs a friendly ear to vent to, just PM me. All you have to do. I'm on the forum daily and at all different times.

Anything discussed goes no further than my inbox.

This is an exceptionally timely and appropriate thread given the passing of Robin Williams by his own doing.

And then there is Brad Delp - with BOSTON on tour this summer. Let's all hope suicide doesn't become popular. *Odd, BD was another asphyxiaton. Copy cat?

I know from my own road through this world that as dark and black as things may get to seem - to take myself out is the final "WIN" for those who at times seem to seek to crush me.
That above all is reason enough for me to "NEVER QUIT"

I will stick around just to **** off those who wish I didn't!!!


In the final analysis I find stubborness to be a CREED that agrees with me entirely:
"Screw you - I'm here. What do you think you are going to do about it?"


*My past is known here. You can discuss it if you want. I might even contribute, but will make no such promise
