Thanks Kevin and Bruce,

I appreciate the advice. I'm just mulling things over. Just spending the night with the dog and the tube. Ya know I've been at this site for a little over 5 months. A lot has happened over that time...most of it bad. I've been with the current name since March 24th (I wasn't always La_esperanza) That's an average of 4 posts per day.

My thread will lock up soon so I just thought I'd post the chorus to a song I heard as maybe the final nail in this thread's coffin. The song somehow spoke something to me....not sure what....I guess that maybe that the act of loving is important.

Quote:

I“ll probably never hold a brush
that paints a masterpeice
Probably never find a pen
that writes a symphony
But if I will love then I will find
That I have touched another life
And that“s something
Something worth leaving behind


In the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years.
Abraham Lincoln

It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed.
