Hi Lou - Your thread was locked so I wanted to get a message to you.

Could you please check back in with Gary2 in mlc? It seems like he isn't get constructive advice from a poster there (telling him to GFY - unless I am reading this intent incorrectly?). I just thought since you have experience with the shopping addicted W, you could help him.

Thanks,
SP

According to the Buddha, praise and blame, gain and loss, pleasure and sorrow may "come and go like the wind," but happiness comes if you can "rest like a great tree in the midst of them all."
