Thanks for straigtening us out on the meaning of genius. But understanding words is only a part of communicating. We use our eyes, smell, touch and hearing when we are talking to another person face to face. It may be Terri gently touches the person, looks directly at the person she is commiserating with, or the tone of her voice that helps convey her meaning. To assume she is being arrogant can only be perceived by the reciepient of the reciepient of Terri's reasurrance or attempt to touch a personal responce.

Words alone cannot express feelings adequately. If they could, Hallmark could not make so much money printing sympathy cards stating, "Words cannot express...", "Words are so inadequate to reveal..."

Sometimes the only responce is a hug and a tear to convey our feelings. Humans do not rely only on words to feel cared for. Taking the time to say them can mean more than the words themselves. Terri, you rock!!

I like and admire your positive attitude.
