I agree with Joe--it's all within a person and how they handle what they can handle. I also agree there is always someone worse out there, someone I am glad I am not.
I am not sure I understand the original post either, you seem unhappy about something or maybe just airing some feelings. I, myself love this forum. I find info here I can trust. I talk with adults here, not teeny boppers who want to argue over every tiny, little thing. Some forums, there is so much wrong info, I want to scream. I private message people and send them here for good info. If we disagree here, we do it as adults and can still smile in the end.
I think we are all friends and sometimes I read, sometimes I post--somedays I see something that pretains to me, somedays I don't. Sometimes I speak of my pain, sometimes not. I have a very high treshold to pain and if I complain, I am asking for help and I never mean to make anyone uncomfortable, I apologize if I have.

sorry, but I do mean this hug. Deb
