A much needed pep talk well and rightly said.


It would be *nice* to live in a nice place instead of a fixer upper.
But when thats all you can afford...


The article expressed pretty much what I felt after my depression
waned (4 Leinie Octoberfests helped). But I also am reminded of a very
poignant photograph that friend once showed me. It was taken circa
1935 and showed a couple of rows of very young kids, one of whom was
my friend's mother. They are standing in front of a big banner that
read "German Jewish Youth" (or something to that effect). It was a
group that was started to show the Nazis that the Jews were loyal
Germans too. According to my friend the only one to survive the Reich
was her mother, whose parents snuck out a couple years later,
eventually ending up in Wilmot WI by way of Argentina.

The point being, I'm not going anywhere now but I give no guarantees
about the future.
