        Very good advice Paul. Too many people nowadays lose their relationships with family members it's quite sad.

        Might be good advice in your family, but there are plenty of people for whom the best thing they can do for their mental health is to cut off their family.

        Solid advice. Random question, Are you up till 4:35, or do you wake up really early?
