Maybe some people on here are a little more special than others. Get my drift. Of course sometimes we could all use a little more patients from the group. But lets not get our dander up, just skip over the thread. If someone wants to give someone uncalled for extra attention - what's it to us. We may need it someday. Just a thought.

thanks to all who gave me good wishes re my little sister (she's 50 but I guess she's still my little sister) anyway, it is what it is right? One thing I've learned during her saga, and my own, that we have little control over other people, places and things... I just wish the best for her, and considering that she went through liver and kidney failure at the same time, and was given a 5% chance of living and was in intensive care for about a month...and it's now almost 4 years after that, she's doing pretty good...miracles do happen...

I'm afraid you missed my point. It wasn't at all that niceguy deserved the jokes sent his way (that's another discussion -maybe he did, maybee he didn't -- and if you look back you'll see that I offered a supporting post). My point is that for some reason you seem to associate good behavior and higher morality with those sharing your Christian beliefs, and credit less admirable traits to we heathens. I don't begrudge you your belief system. Not a bit. But it, in and of itself, doesn't make you a better person than me. Of that I am certain.
