You're right, AnnoyedGrunt (love the name). I think that could very well be what was going on with my sister in this case.

That's funny -I have a different picture in my mind of what's happening in America. I always think people are getting kinder and less ignorant. But since the internet has exposed how bad things are everything just seems worse..

Maybe the country/world will be better after all this is over. It's always darkest before dawn....I love that quote.
Y'all are making me feel better, thanks
