Oh wow... Does someone mind telling me what is wrong with AB? I haven't been around here much recently but back when Eric was still running the show I used to talk to him quite frequently but that was almost 2 years ago now. Buttercup said something about AIDS? God I hope that's not what it is. A friend of mine is currently liveing with AIDS and nightmarish is the only way to really discribe his situation, though the drug coctail he is on allows him to live a largely normal life. I don't want to email him untill I know what the situation is after all there are a million terribly innapropriate comments I could make if AIDS is the case.
At any rate, let him know that one episode isn't the end of the world, and that with therapy and willpower he can still live a long and happy life. Greg has had it for almost 7 years now and he's still doing fine.
