    Maybe that's the problem - too much information for anyone to assimilate. We are all constantly confronted with the fact that not only do we not know or understand anywhere near everything, but even more aggravating, there are lots of things that we don't know that other people do know.

    Some people handle this much better than others. Some try to learn from those who know things. Some accept that they aren't and never can be expert in all fields.

    Some don't.

    I know enough to know that you're wrong. Very wrong.

    And funny looking.

    Similar to my family. I had two cousins from two different aunts die in horrific car accidents (one on mt hood and one near Marine Drive) within a year of each other. Both under the age of 21.

    One of the aunts is from my moms side, one is from my dads side. My aunts were actually pretty good friends in high school. My aunt and uncle on my mom’s side have never been the same since. Just not very happy people. On my dad’s side they were obviously devastated but they’ve found a way to go on and not be miserable.

    Tragedy hits people in different ways.

    nonetheless, burying your kids is probably the worst thing imaginable.

    Nah. Its willful stupidity thats devoid of common sense. Common sense should take over and it doesnt. So they have no excuse.

    Yeah, my brother passed around 25 years ago when he was 19. My mom hasn't been the same since. Her grief has ruined basically every relationship she has had.

    Wednesday marks the 7th anniversary of my grandson's passing. Family, friends, friends of friends, have a dinner of spaghetti and root beer floats with their friends and family in his memory. Feel free to join in if you like.

    Republicans said per Grover Norquist they want government small enough to "drown in a bathtub". Will drowning in a river do?

    (Actually when it comes to women's bodies, trans people, books, they want very big government. Only want small government for public service like weather forecasting and emergency response.)

    Am planning meals for the week, and will do just that for Wednesday in their honor. So sorry for your loss. Have got a 15 year old son and am constantly in fear of something happening to him. Can't imagine how I would respond.

    Nah, she's breastfeeding because our 5 month old loses it if she's had any dairy. We found an oat milk ice cream option that should work.
