"Thank you Anita! Much appreciated. I know that I am hard-headeed. I hate Hitler and probably took my feelings a bit too far. The fact that I was too verbal, adamant and probably expressed my views too strongly and with poorly chosen words...and you still took time to comment...makes it even more special.

"Braden, Sorry, I too was hoping for something funny this week and then I was convinced to go ahead with this. I still feel funny about having posted it, but it's done. Next week: "Cross-Dressing Men of the Planet Jupiter: Good for Interplanetary Business?" (Nothing against cross-dressing men of course...love ya!)

"Valentine, I can't imagine how difficult it must be to grow up without parents. My father was a jerk, but my mother was both mother and father for me and my sister. She was the greatest even though now she is a little wrinkly, cranky 82-year-old pain in the butt! I just can't imagine what it must be like to not have parents to turn to for hugs, support and love. As far as raising your own children, you seem like a great guy with a terrific head on your shoulders. I am certain that you will give your children what you yourself missed getting from your parents: love, stability and care. The most important things for kids are that love and knowing somebody is there for them. I wish you luck and strength in your journey forward! Thanks for your comments and thoughts...they mean a lot!

"Heidi, You are a wonderful person and a great florist. Now please...PLEASE let me make you a website! For free! Well actually I'll do the content for free...the website itself you'll need someone else to do and it'll probably set you back about $3,000! :( Yoni"My Business Story: How I Transformed Disability and Despair into a Career as a Professional Writer
"Alan, I will ask the webmaster about your problem with comments. Thanks for the prayers, though prayers for world peace would benefit more people. As far as the post: there's always, I guess, the feeling that you might come across sounding "whiney" and that was something that scared me.

"Duncan, Thanks! I think finding a creative outlet helps get people through things. It can be cathartic and stress-relieving. I didn't start out with writing thinking it would be the source of a living, but I'm glad it sort of turned out that way. Now...our electricity is going to be shut off on Thursday, can I borrow 60$? Well, that's the price of being a freelancer...good thing my wife has a 9-5 gig :) Yoni"My Business Story: How I Transformed Disability and Despair into a Career as a Professional Writer
""Rays of hope"...i like it! I think that sinking into depression is the easy part, extricating onesself can be difficult. Especially when you get into the "Gilligan's Island," "Brady Bunch" "BJ and the Bear"...cycle. There is definitely something about TV that can make things worse. Had our TV not broken, I would probably still be watching. :) I was also lucky to have a great family doctor who recognized the signs of depression and referred me to a psychologist. She prescribed "happy pills" which were instrumental in restoring my happiness. Even if Tom Cruise thinks psychology is the work of the devil, I believe there is a time and a place. Thanks for your kind thoughts and wishes."My Business Story: How I Transformed Disability and Despair into a Career as a Professional Writer
"Braden, How was flying? I need a new hobby, though RC planes sounds expensive. I'm seriously thinking though of investing a hundred bucks in colored stones and making a mosaic-style mural. Work is good, but I need a diversion. Yoni"My Business Story: How I Transformed Disability and Despair into a Career as a Professional Writer
"Ronika, Thanks! My wife says lovingly that I won the lottery! It was difficult to share, mostly because I was scared of coming across as being a whiner. Deep down too I was/am fearful that people might think I was using the sympathy factor to drum up business. I got an email today from a thirteen year-old girl who's cancer is back for the fourth time. Her mom showed her my story. The girl said it made her smile and she would like to meet me. She lives in New Mexico and I don't have money for a plane ticket. So I'm doing the next best thing...sending her a teddy-bear! It kind of made the post worth it :) Yoni"Subscribe

"David, I know a guy who was given 6 months to live in 1982. He died 2 days later! Hah! Just kidding. He's alive and kicking. I have not much faith in statistics anyway, being it was the only class I failed in college. Yoni"
