Kevin,

I was only commenting on someone who would give up something important to
themselves (i.e. JimH's boat and DonW's privacy) to help someone else. Both
of them were very selfish, and I commend that. As much as Don loves his
Mom, I am sure he gave up a lot to have her move into his home. The same
with JimH and his boat.

If you remember both of these comments were made in passing, and were not
requests for accolades or sympathy. I seriously doubt either one of them
thought about it at all. I didn't even mention it at the time, but it did
make an impression on me. I only mentioned DonW's selfless act, when
someone made a derogatory comment about Don living with his mother, and I
only commented on JimH's situation when someone made fun of the fact that he
was boatless.

Kevin,

From memory, I don't think JimH ever said his wife wanted him to or made
him
sell his boat. I remember him saying due to health reasons he was
selling
the boat. Even if she wanted him to sell the boat for selfish reason, I
commend JimH for helping his wife through a very difficult time. A
chronic
illness if very difficult for the sick person and their it might be even
more difficult on the family.

I'm not Kevin, dip****.

You aren't any more of a man than Jim if you condone his actions. He
has repeatedly said nasty things about my dead mother, my wife, and now
even my children. Do you find that an act of Jim's that you would
"commend" also? He, and now you, chime in about his wife's illness. I
find it amazing that you and he think that because of that, it is a
taboo thing to say anything about, BUT, you find it quite acceptable to
say ****ty things about my children, my wife, and my dead mother. If
you agree with his actions then you are as classless as he is.
