Actually it may just be alcohol. I used to rent a pole barn off a guy that was a didabled vet and all he did was drink all day, every day. He didnt eat, didnt leave the house (had a neighbor run to the store for him since he had no car or license). One day I was out in his barn working on my notch and I watched him stumble from the house. It was quite amusing and sad at the same time. Once he got to the barn he had to catch his breath which took like 15 minutes. It was only about 10-15 yards from the house. He was really skinny and sickly looking. I moved away and heard a year later he had passed from cirrhosis of the liver. A common side effect from heavy alcohol consumption. Some of you Howell/Pinckney guys may remember Danny Wellman. He was the same way. I feel bad for those guys to let it go this far.
