%^% Michael... what you write is partly true; many of us do often go through hell, but so are you, my friend, and you are also a huge part of the support mechanism that contribute to this Forum.
I think you'll find that whenever our depression/problems are acute, each of us don't write much else outside our own pages; lately, I did just that... , for 2-3-4 days, I didn't even read most of the other postings, I couldn't get my head around the words and only wrote a little in my own pages. Personally, I wish you would write more about yourself and, more importantly, on a daily basis, even just to keep us up to date with where you're at.
On top of your ''regular problems'', you are also still in the early grieving process for Wedgie. And, as you know, most of us on this Forum hold our pets very close to our hearts, therefore completely understand how you will be feeling.
Lastly, Michael, if there is any ''obligation'' on this Forum, then it is to write in your own pages, whenever it suits you. Please remember, there are many more visitors to the Forum, who read and draw strength from the things all of us share. I always enjoy reading what you have to say.... funny and sad (cause you are a bit of a comedian!).
Hope today is kind to you *()
