....I'm busted. All three career paths and somewhat accurate overlapping traits. Still, I could have done worse. ;-)

....When I first studied this I was struck by how textbook Davey seems, almost as if he defines it. Still, it may take this kind of shock to his system to at least make him recognize the problem. But me thinks you be right, he needs help from a Pro.

Btw, reason may be wasted but sympathy is not. You might ponder that the next time you require some.

As long as you (generic, not you in particular) give him a sympathetic ear he will come back, rather than seek help.

I did not have any patience for cry babies. Then it happened to me. I saw myself completely unable to shake the bad feelings of a failed relationship. I just hate to lose. Then I had the proverbial epiphany. I was being a crybaby....I then was more compassionate-I have become less so but I still remember how it felt!

True, but only because I need others to help me understand, that's all, plus Natasha took all the money, I cannot afford to see anyone even if I wanted to.

LP gives great advice and it is helping.

and now I am just shootin' blanks. That's what I get for all that target practice!
I could always adopt U!
If we cannot have one we may bring a couple of young'uns from FSU over to adopt. I ask my wife if I could adopt a couple 17 year old blonde girls.......... She said no.
Oh well
