I love you @owasco!!!!

You call it like you see it - and you see it the way I do.
Thank you Thank you THANK YOU
Yes - we are ok!
This young man whose hell would be meeting the person he COULD have been (i.e., a person so much better, it's hell to be stuck with being yourself).
Your wisdom - We spend far too little time finding fault with outside things, such as medical pronouncements, governments, politicians - reminds me of Cassandra, who's been on my mind lately.

Cassandra or Kassandra in Greek mythology was a Trojan priestess dedicated to the god Apollo and fated by him to utter true prophecies but never to be believed. In modern usage her name is employed as a rhetorical device to indicate a person whose accurate prophecies, generally of impending disaster, are not believed.

You are a Cassandra, but, but, maybe (unlike me) you do get people to heed your advice!!
You're the best!!!
