Crumbs, Kis, I missed the post before you edited it. Now the only wisdom I know is "eat when you can, pee when you can and don't get wet" and that is enough to get by in a pinch.
Yvsa, there is too much to be thankful for and life is too short. BTW, a Merry Christmas to you and that post about respect was a real good one. Nobody gains friends for their faith by slamming others, but by living as an example. That's why one of my favorite verses in the Bible is Micah 6:8, "He hath shown thee, o man, what is good. And what doth the Lord require of thee but to do justice, to love mercy and to walk humbly with thy God?"
It is more than enough to occupy a hundred lifetimes.
all the best.
