I was advised to not put my address on the net but it is already out there on FaceBook.
So here it goes.

I am actually a very private man.
Over the past many years I have prided my self on my self sufficiency and ability to handle adversity.
So it is extremely difficult to ask for help and without dire immediate need I would not.
I am moved by all the remarkable folks expressing sincere concern. Even under these circumstances I feel like one of the luckiest people alive. Not the least of reasons is the exceptional friends I have here on SuperTopo.

So how are we doing? The man needs what, $2k to make it happen? I can dig a little deeper if need be.

Philo- we all hate to ask for help. Some times we cannot stand alone; trust me, I know. No one thinks less of you for it except maybe the odd idiot or two.

Well hell! Put me in for $100.00. That is $USD, not that funny stuff you people call money.

I'm now hiding under the table waiting for the wrath of Tami to descend on Lake Forest....

I'm at the bottom myself but will find a way to do something.
Lots of us need help these days, it seems, and we all have
to pull together...

Here is a video of the procedure to be done. This is a single fusion where mine will be at least 3 but it is otherwise the same.

WARNING this is fascinating but really graphic. Please don't watch if you are squeamish.

Tami I can't tell you how moved I am by this. If the rolls were reversed I would bid big on any of your art. This one seems strangely apropos.I love it.

No man is an Iland, intire of itselfe; every man
is a peece of the Continent, a part of the maine;
if a Clod bee washed away by the Sea, Europe
is the lesse, as well as if a Promontorie were, as
well as if a Manor of thy friends or of thine
owne were; any mans death diminishes me,
because I am involved in Mankinde;
And therefore never send to know for whom
the bell tolls; It tolls for thee.

(No man is an island entire of itself; every man
