You are welcome igor… I am comfortable both socially and economically yet find myself whining the” why me” sometimes… Then I see something like this and it puts my complaints in the proper perspective.

Thank you so much for sharing this Butch. I really needed to see it today.

I appreciate the story. but I always hated that saying of don't complain it could be worse. Just because it could be worse doesn't mean a complaint isn't necessary. The saying should go don't complain about the trivial stuff. Just because someone has it worse off doesn't invalidate your suffering.

But don't whinge about useless fluffery.

People with special talents always amaze me. I have no idea how it's possible to make those kinds of pictures using a typewriter. Heck, I was always amazed with people doing those Christmas tree type things using x'es.
