J? is another of the members I forgot to mention (I met with them all again last night). He's a former newspaper reporter, and is loud and funny. He has challenged what I say in rather humorous ways. I mentioned working on a job (I was a construction worker years ago) at a local hospital and told him about tearing down the part of old building. He remarked that he had lived in that city for many years and that his nephew was born in that hospital and told me I didn't know what I was talking about. LOL. I tried to explain I was talking about a different time period, but felt like I was dealing with "are you telling me I don't know my own brother?).

D didn't bother me all that much, and I was able to focus on T and N.

I feel for S? He seems to be coming apart at the seams. He talks long-windedly about his personal problems and the fact he is having trouble paying his mortgage and cleaning up his house and yard. I suspect he's in his 60's. He is having trouble holding it together now that his wife is in a nursing home (actually, I'm not sure how long she's been there), and the fact she is not doing well, mentally (dementia) or physically. I happened to see his vehicle on my way out, and it looked like he has been living in it, even though it's a never vehicle, and looks good from the outside.
