Camille I read this last night and figure you might need to read it as well, but before you read it remember that your parents are the product of their upbringing, the era they grew up in and like many of the older generations (older being at least 20 years older than ME) are scared that we are not going to be in a recession (the same one Bush denied was happening) but back in a Depression and that you will have nothing to get your though it, nor will they. Meanwhile back at the comfort I almost promised: CHUCK LORRE PRODUCTIONS, #8 I believe that words have power. Sticks and stones may hurt our bones, but bones heal in a relatively short time, while one critical parent can cripple you forever. With that in mind, let's try a little experiment. As you read the following words notice whether you feel the impulse to smile. Did it work? Did you smile immediately upon reading that? If not, that's okay. Don't get down on yourself. Remember, this is just an experiment. We can try it again. This time feel your lips curl up gently at the corners. You try to fight it, but your mouth seems to have taken on a life of its own. As you continue reading you can't help but notice that you are now smiling like the execs at Paramount after they realized they got a piece of Titanic for chump change. See? The power of words. In this case used for good. If you would like an example of words used for evil, call your mother and tell her you're really starting to make progress in therapy. poenkitten
