Grump Central Archive: Week of 18 February 2018

Tomorrow I'm attending the funeral for a friend's father. I'm definitely not the funeral type, but my friend's feelings are more important than mine.

In the face of a return to radio silence, with no response to threats, pleas or even requests made to other professionals for advice, I'm at a loss as to what I can possibly do that doesn't carry the risk of making matters worse.
