Poll question: With a little less than a week to go, Is this the worst March EVER?
Or, was another March worse than this one?

Marked a much darker moment in our history. I'm going to say there was a march or two during the Civil War that wasn't too hot either.

3. I'm assuming you're talking about the NCAA tournament. Yes, this is a bad one.
I have just one remaining final four team in my bracket. I have only two teams still active, and one of them I predicted to lose today. Win or lose, I'm screwed.

Awful awful awful.:cry:

...we live in the best times ever, or the worst times ever, or even very special times.

All times are good, all times are bad, and you don't want to live in the middle of big-H History, if you've got an ounce of sense

The right are the ones most guilty of this. They need a 'Global War on This or That', the 'Imminent Destruction of the Constitution', or some other earth-shattering, unique threat to give their lives meaning -- amplified a bit by 'Greatest Generation' envy. They aren't ready to deal with the psychic consequences of the fact that most people's lives are prose, not epic poetry, and short stories -- damn short stories -- when all is said and done. You've got your job, if you're lucky, your friends, family and community, a couple of things you care about, and about 70 years.

Not them-- they have to have a Crusade. They use History, because they can't always get a scrip for Cialis.

Me, I'm with Voltaire, and Pete Seeger. Cela est bien dit,' répondit Candide, 'mais il faut cultiver notre jardin.

13. My Sympathies Are With You... I Just Learned Earlier THIS March That MY
brother-in-law has lung cancer. He will start Monday with 1 treatment of Chemo, and then radiation on all the other days. Perhaps this will be helpful enough for them to do surgery and CUT IT OUT. He was told it's slow growing, but I do know that from lung it travels to the brain.

I had two friends who died within the last for years of brain cancer. I've wondered a lot about this increase.

He will need a lot of support and I'm so sorry you will have to deal with this in the coming months. PEACE!
:hug:
