I replied, "After Fred died--nothing like this could upset me. It's no big deal." and I feel that way about most everything, including household things that refuse to work correctly. Big deal--NOT!

Socially correct in my mind<br /><br />Man am I going to have to use your "disaster or inconvenience" strategy. Why do our minds DO this to us? <br /><br />As usual.
