In reply to David. Wow. See, this is what bothers me most about these wounds—that they're so REAL, that people have actually suffered through them. Thanks for sharing your friend's experience.

I had a friend, who was one of the Marines buried under the Beirut embassy. He was under there for days and for the rest of his life carried a briefcase with him. The contents were a sandwich and a liter of water. Turns out he survived by drinking the trickle of water from the rescue workers.

I love all of your thesauri entries but this one is so perfectly timed!

I am starting to work out a plot for a character who, in the line of duty, was trapped in a collapsed building and is still suffering the effects. This entry gives me a concise list of effects/habits and characteristics to use for him.

Thank you for all you and Becca Puglisi do to help us poor writers. If my copies of your Emotion Thesaurus, Negative and Positive Traits Thesauri and other such books I’ve accessed here on your site were print copies, they would be quite dog-eared by now!

Please keep up the good work as I intend to be writing for many years to come and don’t see my dependence on your references diminishing any in that time.
