I would just like to say that you have alot of friends on the tractor site and although times are tough, you still have friends, hope we all can help cheer you up in some way

I'm NOT looking to do myself in...but I can understand the thoughts one might have to lead themselves to that point, because I've had 'em too. The people who say they "can't imagine" what drove someone to do such an act, have apparently never felt that kind of pressure. Sometimes you can't work your way out, and you sure can't borrow your way out...so you start to think about OTHER ways out. If I had said I'd never considered it, or if I had said I couldn't imagine how someone else could do it, I'd be lying.

Don't worry about cheering me up...I try to find humor where I can. Even though there are nights I can't sleep because of worrying about things, somehow my wife thinks that I'm still not taking things seriously enough. BUT I know that if it's not my time to go, nothing I try will make it happen...so I'll probably hang around until I'm called away. I've tried to share some of the bright spots in my life, but there are days when it's hard to see the bright spots.

You aren't alone my friend.Was sorry to read your post about the failing of society to help the lad. Having reached the pinical of life(or so I'm inclined to think)I to find it difficult to find much humor, but it's there.Family and friends(of which I now have few because they went ahead of me)are the staying force that keeps me here and the Good Lord's thoughts that I must be still needed.I like to think that!!! Failing health is NOT A JOKING MATTER that we are ALL going to go through unless we choose to exit post haste . Leaves family and friends so bewildered and at a loss for direction so ,so far, it's not an option for me. Keep the faith. and god bless.You do have friends here . Regards LOU.

Buzzman I don't know your Faith or if you have any.
don't take me as a "Bible thumper" I force no one.

Tell you a secret though -- There was a time I slept with a loaded shot gun-- (wasn't man enough to pull the trigger) I awoke and the cold steel barrel against my cheek made me look for help in my friends. some being of good Christian faith.

Though them I found the courage to hand all my burdens to God as I found out He has a plan for me. I have a necklace I used to wear all the time that had the serenity prayer on it. It reads,
God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.

I sometimes now I wear a cross without the depiction of Christ being nailed on it because I know he lives.

Nuff said .

Just having someone supportive, like your wife, around makes a huge difference. When someone is really depressed and they don't have someone real close to help them through it, can make things worse. Dave
