:Many thanks, scoobie-dooby.
a blessing here from dogmanun (of the collection can) for you and
your wife. this will no doubt get to Kevin just as he got to you!
I am directing this comment to Mr. Kevin Smith and I understand that
others will be reading it, and I can only hope that this gets to him. I
suffered a severe back injury in late 1999. I was bed-ridden for close
to two years, during which I watched my dreams and my body start to
deteriorate. I slipped into a crippling depression. There was not a
single thing that made me happy anymore, and it actually hurt me to
force a smile, but I did so so I could put my families minds at ease. I
found that I was contemplating the unthinkable, and just days before I
would have enough pills saved up to do the deed, the woman who
would later become my wife brought me Dogma home from the video
store. I laughed. It was orignal, it made me happy again to get my
mind off all the crap that was going wrong in my life. You saved my
life Mr. Smith, and I thank you for that.
