Oh, no! I was thinking of emailing the last few days because he has been too quiet, but figured that he'd been busy laying out Poser 5 tutorials. (At several hours for each page with picture, it does take a loooong time even after you get a style down.) Well, at least he is alive. That is the important part. Hopefully he is getting the care he needs. I've got less than a dollar in my PayPal account, so it will take a few days to transfer a bit more in. As for not having health insurance? The number of Americans without insurance is skyhigh. Private insurance easily runs $3-4000/year if you are healthy and can get it. If you have a pre-existing condition, forget it. I'm disabled and after 3 years am finally on Medicare. They take money out, but I can't afford to see a doctor (deduction and copays) and it doesn't cover prescriptions (the main one, Zomig, is $600/mo, so I do without medicine). However, if something major happened, the hospital would have to take me in. Small comfort. I can imagine how Dr Geep feels. Too many of my friends have been in this place. :( :deep sigh: At least he knows that we care about him. And, yes, that is a valid address for him... at least it is the one I've used over the last 2-3 years. Carolly
