I am going through some very tough times right now. The worst of my life. I rarely sleep. All I can choke down is can of that chocolate power diet drink stuff (Slimfast or Ensure or whatever it's called) in the morning and a can of V8 Juice at night. I'm never hungry. I've lost 10 pounds in 2 weeks on Lou's Miracle Diet!
I did receive ya'lls e-mails, and I was very surprised and gratified to see that I had steady readers. I want you to know that I very much appreciate you reading my stuff. Some day I may pick it up again, but that was in a different life. Does that make sense?
A few people asked if I was sued by a net kook or if Ron Paul got me. No, it has nothing to do with anything online. It's strictly a personal family matter. Two family matters, actually. Both hammers just happened to fall together at the same time. They are two very big hammers.
If you're a religious person, do me a favor? Say a prayer for me and my kids. For my sister as well. The past two weeks have really been a low point for me, and I am not so sure that things will be getting better in the near future.

Lou, you got'em.
All the best.
Paul
Lou,
you are in my thoughts. Every day.
Ditto to all the above Lou. See, there are some of us who kept checking up on you to make sure everything is ok.
You're in my prayers Lou.
Glad you're back. You've been missed by many.
I hope things do get better for you and your family.
Not overly religious but I will pray for you and your family. Take care
You're making sense even when in pain. Just stay strong and love your family.
Mr. Lou:
Don't know you...just your good reputation. Prayers and healing energy I *CAN* do for you and yours. You are now a permanent addition to my prayer circle.
All the best to you all....
Glad to see you back Lou, even if you find the need to take an extended break. Sorry to hear that events have got you down. There are more of us out here than you know. Take care.
Lou, you can count me as one of your regular readers who wondered where you went.
All the best to you and yours, stay positive...
Lou,
All the best to you and yours. You're in my thoughts.
Lou,
Be well. Hope things get better for you.
I have been checking your blog every day and had just decided to email you. I am sorry for your difficulties. You, your sister and all those who are yours have my thoughts and prayers. All the best to you and do what you need to do, blog or no.
Lou, you can get through this. Please talk to someone about your situation, doctor, charity counsellor, trusted relative who isn't involved, whoever. Take small steps, it sounds like things aren't going to get resolved in a short space of time, accept you need patience to get through it.
My thoughts are with you.
You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. God bless.
Sorry to hear of this bad turn -- heck, it woulda been better to hear the Ron Paul kooks had spammed the site out of existence for a while. :(
All the best to you, Lou.
Lou,
I have been a regular reader, and look forward every morning to your blog. I am sorry to hear that you are going through this. I went through a similar period in my life last year and lost over 30 pounds on a similar diet. Just remember to take care of yourself. There will be a better day. You are in my prayers.

Keep your head up Lou, we are here for you!
Lou,
Things will get better for you and yours. You are a great guy, a great father, a good friend, a hard working man, and things will get better for you.
Will do.
I'm sorry to hear you're going through some rough stuff. I've enjoyed reading your online thoughts and humor since usenet and watchingyou. You and your family are in my thoughts.
Mark
The Psalms 13
A Prayer for Help in Trouble
1 How long wilt thou forget me, O LORD? for ever?
How long wilt thou hide thy face from me?
2 How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily?
How long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?
3 Consider and hear me, O LORD my God:
lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;
4 lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him;
and those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved.
5 But I have trusted in thy mercy;
my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.
6 I will sing unto the LORD, because he hath dealt bountifully with me.
Long time reader first time comment. I enjoy your work and pray for your return.
Hope things work out for you!
you have been missed.
Thank you.

You and your loved ones are definitely in my prayers; it sounds like really tough times.
I was on a similar "Miracle Diet" to yours for a short while; I found I could tolerate potato soup if it wasn't fancied up too much, or just mashed potatoes.
HUGS for you and your loved ones!
Lou,
My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Ty
p.s. I went looking for you YouTube vids other day and was sad to see your channel shut down.
Lou,
Not a regular reader save for what you post at Exurban Nation. Best wishes, and welcome to my prayer list.

Lou,
I'm an irregular reader, but you were one of the moderates during the Casey saga. I understand what family troubles mean and I wish you the best.
Nigel
Glad to hear from you again. All the best to you and your family
I really, really appreciate ya'lls comments.
Lou, I gotta admit, you scared the hell out of me. I am still worried about you. If there is anything I can do, send up a flag. I mean it.
You're back! Glad to see that. Hang in there, we all have dark days, it is part of life. I am going through some crap right now myself. Chin up, family first, move forward, do your best. That is all you can do. Best, Dan.
Lou, I am so sorry to hear of the problems. Even though it's difficult, please try to take good care of yourself.
You've been added to our prayer list.
Hey Lou
Best of luck and God bless.
Enjoy your blog.
Hey Lou,
I'm glad to see you back.
I'll light the incense for you and see what the Tarot cards say.
(Actually, I'm really a Christian in "real life" and I'll keep you and your family in my prayers. I hope things get better for you soon)
