Hi there, I'm sorry you're eligible for this club, but so glad you found us. Here you can whine, commiserate and get great advice from those who have gone before. Please don't doubt your strength -- you'll find resources you'd never guess within yourself, your family and your support network.

Your signature is great, and your screen name's even better. A guy who dubs himself "The Hellion" is up to the battle ahead. Now I wish I'd named myself "The Fury" or "The Wraith." smile
