the wife and I could use a hug

Jeez, Joel -- that's a hard turn. Lean on the ones you need right now, and be ready for them to lean back. Good luck!

Sorry to hear BP. 

I hope things turn out okay for you guys.

Yup.... he and Uncle Norm are brothers. Both have breathing issues.

Just got a call back from my friend. He was willing to pick you up a battery on his lunch hour. I told him you had it covered. He said that if there was anything he could do I should just let him know. There are good people in the world that will rally when bad things happen. So that's nice.

Also let me know if there is anything we can do for Norm. I like that guy. M & I certainly wouldn't mind taking him out to Harry's now and again, or just checking up on him. He has some neighbors looking after him, right?

virtual hugs coming your way.

we've been trying to get over there to visit him, but issues with dad and work have made it next to impossible. The sad thing in all this is both he ( dad ) and Uncle Norm havent spoken in years..... and the way this is playing out, they both will pass on never having been able to resolve their issues and forgive each other. Uncle Norm has some really great friends who have been keeping an eye on him. He's still very much mobile, he just can get too far away from his air supply.


Thank you all for the well wishes.

Michelle is home now. I took the boys to get a battery and helped them install it in the car ( then I made them wash it )

The plan is to do some neurological test on dad later today, and depending on what they find..... well, we'll see what happens next.

The wife and I hugged it out in the garage for awhile......I feel less hopeless now.

Umm, how about a heartfelt e-handshake instead? Bro hugs are creepy. 


Awww, ok here's a big 'ol hug. 


Hey, why did you pinch my ass?
