The guys I feel for are those with young families who get hit really hard and then have to cope with kids a mortgage and lots of medical bills. that's when you find out who your real friends are.



Amen Davo. I read some of the posts here from the people who are struggling to make ends meet, who are trying desperately to keep their families together in the face of overwhelming obstacles, and they break my heart. Every day I wish I was a very rich man so I could quietly help each of the people here who were being beaten into the ground financially by AS and the life complications it causes. I always try to help when I can, as I've been very lucky in many ways in my life with AS, but I'm definitely not rich. KA is one of the main reasons I bother to buy lottery tickets every now and then when the pot gets really huge--I always imagine how much good I could do here (and for my family, of course) with all that money.
