((( Steve and Mari )))

thank goodness they got those folks out. i am happy and relieved for the miners. when the accident happened i went through a lot of mental gymnastics about how they would handle bodily functions. everyone was talking about food and water and meds. and i was like, ok, those are their "input needs" but.... what goes in must come out......???????? i didn't look for an answer to that, and i don't think i want one (i might not like it.)

i have not seen footage of the rescue. i might like to see interviews later when they have had a chance to rest.

i find that emotional events - even "positively-charged" ones in in the real world can jangle me up into a right mess.

keep informed at a safe emotional distance. (to me, 'safe' sometimes involves remaining uninformed. i learn a lot of stuff from hearsay... others talking about news. just snippets. no pictures, etc.) and from people starting threads like this here. Thanks, Steve!
