believe it or not skip, my shrink is my van, here is how. After my crash in 01 for the next 4or5 yrs i lived to suicide, thats all i wanted, i didnt want to live as a cripple, the pain was torture so all i wanted to do was wack myself, the problem was i didnt have the guts, i was seeing a shrink from the minute i came out of my coma, but for at least 2yrs after i stopped seeing him i still wanted to do it. Then one day about 3yrs ago i woke up and i found i was not so eager to end it, that was about the same time as i decided it was time to fix the van or sell it. So i am happy to say that for the last 15months or so i have been suicide free, dont get me wrong i am still in pain that sends you into a sweat, but now that i am hitting brick walls trying to solve how to do things with the van, i dont have time to wack myself  ;) My van and my grand kids are what keep me sane, or insane lol  ;D ;D Maybe i never wanted to die, i dont know, what i do know is the person that took my life away, will never beat me down, for example, this friday @ 1025hrs wil be 9yrs to the day when my world went black, and stayed that way for 7days untill i came out of my coma, so instead of curling up this friday, i am going to be working on my van with my sheetmetal guy. For me this is the best way to beat those that thought i would just lay down and die. I'm here and i'm staying, and if that haunts the junky that did this, tough. sorry guys but black is black, my van is my shrink skippy  ;D ;D ;D so i guess we have the same guy, the most expensive shrink in town. MR  BEDDY.

Much respect George

at just over $100 an hour (at least) for a shrink, the beddy is most probable a cheaper deal - and more rewarding :D

Hey ben, you reckon you could drop it off at my place, i'll take it off your hands, save you on tip fees ;)
There are so many people out there who will tell you that you can't. What you've got to do is turn around and say "watch me"
