I don't think I might be able to help him, but I can try to forward this message.

Oh man, I'm so sorry! I hope he pulls through and is all right.. Unfortunately I'm horribly behind in my own bills and other debts with nary a penny to spare these days (my computer is 4 years old too! 
).
The best I can do is wish Andrew and his family the best of fortunes to them.

You know the very powerful and the very stupid have one thing in common. They don't alter their views to fit the facts, they alter the facts to fit their views, which can be uncomfortable if you happen to be one of the facts that needs altering.

Dang that’s tough, I wish GamerDad swiftest recovery and best wishes. 
I hope he has a good diet of vegetable, fruits and doesn't smoke it makes all the difference in the world for recovery and prevention.

Trust me, most of the names I have been called you can't translate in any language…they're not even real words as much as a succession of violent images.

This is really a life altering event, and very hard on everyone involved, especially kids. Living at the hospital, the uncertainty and the waiting, putting your hope and trust in doctors and nurses, are all very difficult things to endure. I hope this request will help generate enough money to alleviate that additional worry on top of everything else.

I have been able to help a little financially, but I'll see if I can spread this around to the other sites on the net.

Okay, now roll sanity.

I find that gamerdad.com is a very worthy -ehm- cause? or site? to support

Loads of prayers can only help. This is a hard thing at any age but with small children it always makes it worse for the family to cope.

Bart and Corwin should just admit that when it gets down to it, I will have the final say.

The gamerdad & his website is one of the things we in the gaming community needs, I think. We need someone who is going to stick up for the thousands of ordinary people playing games as well as some like andrew bub, gamerdad, to explain to people that videogames aren't causing children to be violent or going out murdering someone after they have played (violent) games. He seems to be one of coolest voices of reason in this regard.
Please send your support his way, either it be in your thoughts or by doing something else.
