I vote we end this sticky. Nothing seems to be moving forward, and it doesn't appear if it ever will.
No hard feelings, GeneL! I hope your situation improves soon.
Maybe you could rob a bank. At least you'll have three squares a day, medical care, and a place to sleep! (I keed, I keed!)
So your solution is to give up on the situation? To make SURE nothing will move forward? What you don't seem to realize is that the simple act of having this as a sticky reinforces the idea for GeneL that we support him, that we encourage him to move forward. The continuing conversation itself is very important for encouraging him to find focus and to act, however slowly that may be.
Rick-o -- if reading this sticky makes you uncomfortable or impatient, then just stop reading it. Please don't tell the rest of us that we should stop encouraging GeneL however we can, even if it is just by being present. Presence itself is very important. If GeneL is feeling abandoned and immobile now, just consider how much worse he will feel if we collectively say we don't want to pay attention to him anymore?
GeneL -- we are here!
