(This coming from an adoring reader, no less!) Your precious health, your precious LIFE is what is in question. I imagine you started blogging to help yourself, and you should continue blogging in whatever style or tone you desire to continue helping yourself. More readers, less readers, more or less comments...who cares? Just be good to yourself--that's the bottom line. I wish you successful maintenance and vibrant health, Jack. :)Human In Progresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14141421581818137190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2297412163862522994.post-45696632090670092652009-08-24T15:19:36.548-05:002009-08-24T15:19:36.548-05:00All of the good responses have been taken.All of the good responses have been taken.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2297412163862522994.post-91997060636759188082009-08-24T14:39:15.907-05:002009-08-24T14:39:15.907-05:00What ever you do be true to how you are feeling. ...What ever you do be true to how you are feeling. <br /><br />It seems that's what you do best Mr. Shit.F.
