[blparent] Happy Thanksgiving, eh?

[Jo Elizabeth Pinto]

That's the most narrow-minded thing I've ever heard.  You didn't fit into 
her lifestyle because you didn't have kids?  Wow, how accepting of people's 
differences are her kids going to be when they grow up?

It is easy--terribly easy--to shake a man's faith in himself. To take 
advantage of that to break a man's spirit is devil's work. Take care of what 
you are doing. Take care.--George Bernard Shaw in "Candide"
