Lindsays Gramdma, I started to put a thought on here and the phone rang. I have learned on this board that posters go back and forth with each other and all seems fine in their lives. Then you go to another topic and these same people are posting with some one else and if the subject is something that they are living with they respond to each other then you find out some are missing a leg or arm, or loosing their sight, or they have just buried a family member some their husbands, and whom you thought have no problems in their lives are actually hurting and at their wits end trying to cope. So sometimes it is better to try and be a friend or a sounding board rather then be the one who pushes the person over the edge.

I know cater, unfortunately there are too many on the boards who get a kick out of pushing a person who is close to the edge. As I always say to Lindsay, "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all." That is a saying my sister and I were taught when we were growing up and I taught that to my three children and now my Lindsay. My three other grandchildren and two great grandchildren live in New Jersey and New York so I don't have the opportunity to pass it on to them so Lindsay gets them all.
