I used to work ambulance...

Oh cheese and crackers, I don't think I'd be able to handle the stories, but I'd sure love to try.

Some of my closest friends were paramedics and the calls that never ceased affecting them tended to be suicides and anything child related.

I never dealt with a young suicide, so my biggest are all children. Most of the suicides I dealt with were older males (unmarried or divorced).

Any chance you're going to get back into the marriage thread?

Yeah, we can get back into that.

We'll need to work on a schedule or leave it unscheduled.

Lemme know.

Dude, I'm in like a dozen exchanges now, so I don't do schedules :)

I just take them when they come, write a response, and schedule it for a few days later (to give me time to look over it a few more times, listen to it, have the wife read it, consult with my lawyers, etc. :) ) So whenever you write, just tag me or whatever. I read most of your stuff anyway, but its safer.

Suicide is a profoundly selfish act, in most cases.

As a survivor of more than one attempt, I can confirm your assertion.
