I'm with you Dave. I certainly didn't mean to toot my own horn in any shape or fashion. I have been blessed with great parents, a wonderful wife, and a supporting community. Many of you, my q-list friends deal with circumstances that I would never have the strength to deal with. My admiration for your strength and courage is boundless. My point with this money talk was that even with a good income many of the things we need as quads are out of reach. Everything called "medical" from vans to suppositories is just insanely priced. It isn't right or just, but what can we do? If you need it, you need it. Every one of us is just one nasty bug away from disaster. I am one of the oldest members on this list, and I worry constantly that I won't be able to support my kids, or even worse, see them grow up. I'll be 56 in May. The quads that make it to 60 are few and far between. Well, I am just rambling. Thanks for listening. May all of you have a blessed holiday and a healthy new year. God bless. Larry Willis
