    I need two buckets and a mop. That is how much I have vomited over this saccharin laden drivel. We all have families, please take this to the land of fluffy kittens and pink ponies. And trust me, it really isn't 'Beautiful'. It is sentimental tripe issued forth in an almost maudlin and bathos drenched manner, slightly obsequious, definitely sycophantic and utterly futile. We are too jaded and cynical to be impressed with the self-indulgent peregrinations of a naive youth.

        I can only assume that you know it's rumored to cause a few problems like headaches/migraines, dizziness, seizures, nausea, numbness, muscle spasms, weight gain, rashes, depression, fatigue, irritability, tachycardia, insomnia, vision problems, hearing loss, heart palpitations, breathing difficulties, anxiety attacks, slurred speech, loss of taste, tinnitus, vertigo, memory loss, and joint pain[^] I've always enjoyed your postings, but I guess they are going to change somewhat dramatically in the future :sigh:

        Not as bad as bihydrogenoxide. That stuff is so addictive that most people will die after a few days without it. It's everywhere, even in the air in gaseous form.

          If it had only happened that way. Instead we were treated to endless more episodes and years of reruns.

                              I need two buckets and a mop. That is how much I have vomited over this saccharin laden drivel. We all have families, please take this to the land of fluffy kittens and pink ponies. And trust me, it really isn't 'Beautiful'. It is sentimental tripe issued forth in an almost maudlin and bathos drenched manner, slightly obsequious, definitely sycophantic and utterly futile. We are too jaded and cynical to be impressed with the self-indulgent peregrinations of a naive youth.

                              wasted breath in my opinion and you got some down votes for the effort. :sigh:

                                This is a very much underestimated option. It reminds me of a lyric (I forgot the so called artist)... "Let freedom ring with a shotgun blast!!!"

                                  When I was a kid, my Mom liked to make dinner and every now & then I remember she used to cook for us. One night in particular, she had cooked after a long, hard day at work. On that evening so long ago, my Mom placed a plate of bread jam and extremely burned biscuits in front of my dad. I was waiting to see if anyone noticed the burnt biscuits !!But Dad just ate his biscuit and asked me how was my day at school. I don't remember what I told him that night, but I do remember I heard Mom apologizing to dad for burning the biscuits. And I'll never forget what he said:"Honey, I love burned biscuits."Later that night, I went to kiss Daddy good night and I asked him if he really liked his biscuits burned. He wrapped me in his arms and said, "Your momma put in a long hard day at work today and she was really tired. And besides... A burnt biscuit never hurts anyone but harsh words do!"You know, life is full of imperfect things... and imperfect people.... I'm not the best at hardly anything, and I forget birthdays and anniversaries just like everyone else. What I've learned over the years, is that learning to accept each others faults and choosing to celebrate each other’s differences, is one of the most important keys to creating a healthy, growing, and lasting relationship. Life is too short to wake up with regrets... Love the people who treat you right and have compassion for the ones who don't. ENJOY LIFE NOW:) It has an expiry date..:-)

                                        As long as they have a Facebook account I don't see why it should matter

                                        Every man can tell how many goats or sheep he possesses, but not how many friends.
