You spelled "dam" wrong. Unless of course you meant a large structure that holds water back. I think the dam you wanted has a "n" on the end. I usually wouldn't comment, except you seem to be very concerned when you pointed out the meat vs. meet from earlier.

I think it must be quite difficult to ask anyone for help. I don't think it matters if is a stranger, a internet friend or family. I also think the good feeling you get from helping out someone in need comes no matter how close you are personally to the one you helped. I'm not sure when we have become a world of people jaded to other's needs, but it has happened. I know that I hear why people can't make their car payments at least 25 times a day. I am ashamed to say that all of the reasons have started to sound the same and they haven't stirred any empathy in me at all. This thread is a little bit of a wake-up call.

Stan - Good Luck to you. I hope you land on your feet and know that there are people here who care.
