OMC, what PRACTICAL thing can we do for you?
You have kids to mind and a house to run. Can we pitch in and have meals sent in to your home or something? Hire some help? Is there some item or service that would really help in the next few weeks?

1. I'd like a Murphy's Irish Stout, if it's not too much of a bother.

3. Kick the shit outta assholes that detract from what our friend is going through.
I don't think OMC and his wife needs that type of shit to go through.

Sorry, when you ask what I can do, I withdraw to my strengths.

Otherwise, I'll be in on pitching in to help the family.

4. I missed that
And I'm glad I did. But I'm not surprised. We've had this sort of problem before--remember Andy?

6. Yep.
From what I've learned, old habits for some are hard to break.

I'm happy to call them on it. If this was hockey, I'd be the Lounge Goon, I guess.

5. I can't believe that people would sink so low.
I should believe it, after Andy Stephenson. However, I'm still shocked by some people.

7. I know. It really set me off.
Anyone that witnessed it knows.

11. I'm glad I missed it
but, whatever happened to "If you can't say something nice about somebody, don't say it at all"?

It's not like OMC and his wife are public figures after all... and posting on a message board doesn't make one a public figure.

8. I have a friend who is going through what OMC is going through.
Except their outcome is dire. He has stage IV pancreatic cancer and 3-4 months.

Anyway, we sent a bunch of gift cards to family type restaurants/drive throughs, etc., so she could feed the kids on the quick and not worry about making dinner every night.

Maybe we could ask Skinner to raise some money and do something similar?
