   Heard from Mike Curtis late last night.He’s heard back from his doctor. He does not have an aneurysm, after all. He does have a slightly enlarged blood vessel, but it is not life-threatening.What he has raised on the GoFundMe site so far shouldb e sufficient to meet his needs.All of Mike’s friends will have something to be very thankful for next week.

   It’s not about politics. It’s about helping out a friend.

   Please, everyone, try to keep your eye on the ball.

   Consider it addressed to both of you. but you’re the one being listed as responding to something I said.

   And to both of you I say, this is not about grinding your political axes. It’s about alerting you that Mike needs help.

   This is, once again, not an occasion for grinding a political ax.Mike needs help. That’s the priority, and that’s why I started this thread.

   Once more, this is not the place or the forum for you to grind a political ax.

   It’s about helping Mike.

   You’ll never convince me, and, in any case, as I said, this is not the form to discuss this issue, so let’s just agree to disagree, and focus on helping Mike.

   To the best of my knowledge, no. He’s a free-lancer, so, unless he signed up for ObamaCare, I don’t think he has any.

   If he does, it’s not covering all his expenses.

   I’m not a fan of socialized healthcare in any respect, but the discussion here should focus on Mike, not on polictical issues.

    Guys,

    I wanted to make you all aware that Mike Curtis is suffering from an aneurysm near his left ear.

    His medical expenses are going to be pretty high, so he’s set up an account at GoFundMe.

    You can find it here:

    He needs $10,000. Right now, he’s up to about $350.

    If a hundred people gave $100, that would put him over.

    If two hundred gave $50, that would put him over.

    Whether or not you can afford to donate something, I’m sure he’d appreciate all your prayers and good thoughts.

    If any of you are members of the Dick Tracy Yahoo! Group, I would appreciate you copying this and posting it there.

    Thank you.
