This thread is loaded with praying folks and you better believe that is why most aren't here.. we are following the events of the gulf tragedy, chocking back sobs, & praying feverishly for those victims & the rescue folks.

It will get worse IMHO.. as more and more of the info is out. Communications are very limited right now & the total damage/death/conditions are not known yet.

This is a marvelous thread reflecting the joys & beauty of people and america and I guess part of the perspective of life is that this vacation followed tragedies in the USA.. good things followed 911.. good things will follow this.

We will bury our dead and grieve them profoundly. We will give money, we can't afford, to help people we will never meet & who will prolly complain anyway. We will cry for the children who are orphans, the pets who were abandoned to fend for themselves & perished, the "things" people lost, which really weren't that important anyway.

A perspective on the joys & beauties of life

So many of you have such a gift for words, and this was about as beautiful as it gets. Thank you, ((((((((Dolly)))))))).
