Paxboy .... You mentioned Bulemia in one of your posts as being similar in some ways to depression. I have a very close friend who's daughter is at this moment at death's door...literally, with an eating disorder, which in reality is a mental problem. We do not know if she is going to survive. Now some people have suggested that all she had to do before this disease took hold, was to eat. She could no more eat than gouge her eyes out.!! She was held back by the mental state she was in. She had no control over herself and the mind was saying to her "Don't eat....you are fat and look horrible"
There are those, in this thread, who suggest that the subject of this thread took the easy way out and left his kids and family to fend for themselves. I suppose that is the practical outcome of all this, but did he intentionally do that.?? No one knows for sure, but close friends of his in this thread have suggested that he was a lovong parent and father. In the depths of depression, people do strange things. Whatever your views are on this...right or wrong, can we keep a human viewpoint on this tragedy and shed a tear for a fellow human's weaknesses, and think of how his family are feeling at this moment.
Belgian Beauty.... In this case "What does this button do" is a real PPRuNe non de plume.
It was "What's it doing now" who so raised your ire. So perhaps you owe the one you hit so hard an apology for calling him what you did.
