A. 11 August 2007: It's a Catch 22, really. If you don't give it a try, you will always wonder whether it could have worked. If you do, and you fail, you will know, but you might end up hurting each other.

A. 10 August 2007: I wouldn't use the word "healthy", as it would mean assuming there is a disease somewhere.

A. 10 August 2007: It's hard to say.
If the cell phone works while recharging WHEN HE'S AT HOME, but it doesn't work when he's away, it's obvious that he's keeping it off.
He said he went to Denny's but obviously he went somewhere else, too.
