Herb-man, keep it real and follow the righteous path. It’ll all fall into place if you keep focused.
Your life might seem complicated and askew at this junction in time…however in reality, it probably just got a shitload simpler. BE FREE MAN…BE FREE
You sure have a lot of friends here. Keep that with you. --Skip

Herb: I’m sorry to hear about this after you signed off. You’re a special individual bro, and I know you will land on your feet. You have always shared, contributed and passed on so much of what the true aloha spirit is all about. Stay in touch and if there is anything I can do for you just call amigo. Tom S.

Herb, I am also sorry to hear of your troubles. Although we have never met in person, you come across this site as not only a person filled with knowledge, but more importantly a person who is most generous. Good Luck to you.
Herb!..Hang in there, bruddah! One door closes, another opens up! With respect to this forum, you can always pop in at your local library…hell, that’s what I do…I don’t even have a computer! Besides, there is more to life than this. Just keep in that H20 to keep your head clear and BE HAPPY?!. People who give freely (like you) are an asset in this world (and a rarity!). Stay well, “po Mai k’ai” (good luck!). Like Bruce Lee said…“BE WATER”! Aloha, Nui! T.
