- Another Presidential Election was stolen.

You are loved by many people. You are being tested, perhaps.
Whenever I am sad I like to remember when your Mom went back to work and you and I were home alone. We would sit and watch TV and play. You were'nt even a year old, but we could play catch and you would giggle and that little laugh would always make my day. Jen you know I love all of you girls equally, but your sisters don't have that special time that you and I had. I love you. Dad
Can't top the previous comment. Only thing I can say, when things get bad, you find out who really loves you.
Thanks Daddy! That was very nice, it made me feel better.
Pelmo, You are right.
That would be moi....

i don't believe in Bad Luck.
i brake mirrors with 2x4's and make angel wings out of it.
i see you do the same.
I've found this true for most humans: the good and the bad balance out, so most people that never experience very bad times usually don't have very great happy times, either. Personally, I'd rather experience a lot of good and bad than just lead a boring flat-line kind of life.
Many of the most depressed people I have worked with, descibe their emotional state as flat-lined. They would even prefer to feel sad, just to feel something.
jweddjrk?
Changa, Awwww... thanks. Good idean about the mirrors, kind of like a twist on if life hands you lemons, make lemonade.
Joe and Jane, I agree, ups and downs are more interesting and I may be a lot of things, but emotionally flat-lined is not one of them. Also, I figure if you're going to complain, then you had better say some thank yous at the same time or else the boogey man will get you or whatever.
