I'm so sorry about your sister; the impulse to logon where there are people to talk to was a good one, it just wasn't the right discussion, is all. When I'm feeling down there are programs I can't stand to watch, some kinds of music don't appeal. A political discussion isn't soothing.

Kebroxu and Mrrzy and Senoufou (we haven't heard back from her in ages, how is she doing?) among others will tell you that venting in a thread like this one is helpful.

You've participated in a lot of the guitar threads here on Mudcat; was your sister also musical? Did you both play and sing (the unique quality of family harmony is something that has been discussed here in various threads, I'm sure!)
