...just lucked out...

I think those of us who didn't "luck out" are the lucky ones! :)

I do too. "Lucked out" was bad phrasing. Should have said "misfortune" instead. Well, "misfortune" isn't good either because that seems to perpetuate the so-called "Kennedy Curse" like something is so special that it's supernatural. Mainstream media and liberals just love that because of increased publicity. Getting wrapped up in my thoughts while typing them tend to use not so accurate phrasing. How about "accident?"
