The old adage that "It could be worse" is so very true. However, that doesn't mean we shouldn't grieve our loss or vent our frustrations. All of us on the list drew the short straw and I imagine all of us get mad as hell over the unfairness of it all. I appreciate the little movement I have but I don't feel blessed because some other poor soul is in worse shape. Quadom is a bit of hell that simply varies in degree. I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy (if I had one). Thanks, my friends, for letting me rant. Have a great day.
