I'm here for you too KK. Spoon or a hug, whichever you prefer, or both even. No agenda, no hidden motivations, nothing other than a simple it'll all be better before you know it, and if not I'm here.

Well the cat is out of the bag now ... one of first exercises in the Marines we ended up doing that - we just called it a cat pile, after the piles of kittens you see in the window at the pet shop.
Stupid me didn't read the fine print where it said my reserve unit was a cold weather, mountain warfare unit. When I had to leave the pile and stand watch I thought I was going to die. I honestly, seriously thought that that was it and I was going to freeze solid. After I few years of experience and training the worst part of nights like that was knowing you weren't going to die.
