H deep in A & MLC, need support 4 roller coaster!

[Dawn of Hope]

I thought I was going to bed...HA! I'm starting to think I'm addicted to the board!

I've been meaning to post this for a while, but kept forgetting; see what you think of this:

H has a friend (male, although H's friendships are becoming more and more heavily weighted toward the female side as the years pass) who was his best friend throughout high school and college, although the relationship got less tight as friend and his W kept moving and now live halfway across the country. Shortly before or after the bomb (can't quite remember), this friend called my H (not a common occurrence) and told him he had just been diagnosed with a brain tumor, and might only have a few months to live. He hadn't even told his parents or siblings yet, but he called to tell my H. H was pretty shocked, I think, and was considering flying out to Seattle to spend some time with his friend. We have been getting regular mass e-mail updates about friend's condition since about January, and he has been through a lot (and he's got more to come), but seems to be doing okay, all things considered...he's still alive, that's for sure. Anyway, H sometimes sends a short e-mail response to his friend regarding the updates, but he hasn't so much as CALLED his friend in the year or so since he found out about the tumor. So...H's longtime best friend is fighting a possibly fatal disease, at 44 years of age, and H can't even be bothered to call him ONCE in a year's time, much less spend some time and money on a visit to see him...and yet H talks to OW on the phone for a couple of hours EVERY #$%^& DAY and sees her about twice a month (despite the distance, although it's not nearly as far away as Seattle, granted), and spends money on her like they're going to stop printing it!!

All together now, MLC INSANITY; it's all about H, H, H! The Mother Ship has a FIRM hold on this one!

What do you think about that??!

Okay, it's really time to get off the board now...

Peace,
Dawn
