I spend my life worrying and praying for my children because I KNOW bad things can happen.

Bad things can and do happen, but I don't spend my life worrying about the possibilty. I do pray for my children and in a general way yours, best wishes and good luck!

Me too, and 'thanks'.

Sheesh. DSL is only $40 a month in my area. (Thank heaven for VPN)

I have a cable modem but was still continually on the phone for meetings and communicating with the other groups and managers.

What kind of work do you do?

Nowadays I'm a network administrator.

I don't think I did tell you what you know about anything.

The comment was that some people on this thread don't know about bad fortune. Since I was one of the people taking a critical view of both the article (almost certainly fake) and the careless, spoiled people it portrays as victims I thought it a reasonable assumption that the comment was directly, at least in part, at me. If this was incorrect, I apologize.
