Yeah, reminds of the the time I saw some clueless "people" decide that they should post their gripes about professional atheletes in the Daryl Kile breaking news post.
Some people just don't get that there is a time for everything, and sometimes that time is just not now!
Hey RobRoy, how 'bout keepin' your mouth shut? I hope you knew enough to keep it shut when you killed the woman's dog. Or did you tell her that she needn't worry about her "souless" dog?
You know I once heard a story where a man called Paul Harvey to ask about whether or not his beloved dog would go to heaven. He had heard that animals don't go and said that he had been all alone for years and didn't want to go to heaven with out his companion. Paul Harvey said that he did not know but would ask a trusted source. Well the answer he got from Billy Graham was that heaven is a perfect place and that if he needed his dog to make it complete, God would have his dog be there by his side.
Sounded like a good answer to me!

Thanks for the good Paul Harvey/Billy Graham story.

re post 52: I was sensitive to her feelings at the time. It was actually quite easy. Regarding the other issue, knowledge is power. I do not believe in candy coated white lies to help people feel better in the short term. It may seem to make sense, but that doesn't make it right - necessarily.
I put what paul harvey said in the category of saying "that's quite a baby" when someone shows you their really ugly baby. The words are true but meant to misslead in the hopes of being sensitive to anothers needs. Not necessarily a bad thing.
Oh, and no, I won't keep my mouth shut. The time most definitely is "now." That's why this thread is here, silly.
