In the Spirit of Holy Week (Laura Ingraham escape apology) , I am forgiving -

My 3rd grade teachers who flunked me and made me take the grade over again
The Officer who gave me my first driving ticket which made my dad take the car away for a month
My boss at the supermarket who fired me when I bowled down the aisles (late shift) with a head of cabbage
Linda, who told me my dancing skills were the reason we broke up
My first cat who threw up in my best pairs of shoes
The car dealer who sold me a 72' Gremlin
My brother who threw a fire cracker at me which gave me a scar I carry to this day
My stockbroker who told me to sell Apple when it hit $7 a share

7. Your broker story reminds me

of when I was a minor and my father sold my Disney stock because of "insider information" (a friend of his played golf with Card Walker, who was one of the people mismanaging the company before being replaced by Michael Eisner), even though I didn't want to.

My father, who liked investing in petroleum stocks, was very proud of selling my 100 shares of Disney that I had bought for $23/share for $50, and buying Texaco.

On the other hand, if we had held onto the stock as I'd wanted to, with splits and stock-dividends, that 100 shares that he had sold for $5000 would now be 5000 shares at $100/share.

​She did the convert thing during the wave of Spooks, FBI, Robert NOVAKula doing it, an Opus Dei thing. When she re-emerged into the yak game, I peered at her mug and strained my ears to detect any signs of Christlike emulating behaviors. She was a bit toned down for a year or two but soon enough she was back at full tilt in vociferous hate speech. I actually called The Little Sisters of the Poor and asked a (Mother Superior?) whether a convert to Catholicism might be expected to show some outward behaviors of spirituality like humility, love of others, benevolence, and whether INGRAHAM's donations were substantial, and she said that she had never heard of her and knew of no donations from her.
