    Posthinking - I am so sorry to hear that. As you say, bankruptcy is NOT the be all and end all.
    Please accept my deepest condolences - to you and the rest of your family.
    I quite understand that you need time to reflect on the true values in life.
    I hope that, one day, you will feel up to coming back.
    Once again my heartfelt sympathy to you.

    OMG. I'm so so sorry Dave.

    Just a quick post for now as I'm not sure what to think, let alone type.

    Everyone here you have got to know and those you've helped with advice, experience, and humour will be thinking of you.

    Take care and come back and post if you ever feel like it.

    Dave,I don't know if you'll ever read this but Dear God, our thoughts are with you. Words really are completely inadequate. Dave, I'm sorry mate, there's nothing I can say, I feel truly helpless. If ever you need someone to talk to, on the phone or in person, you only have to call.Rich
