I was recently involved in a hit and run accident. I was hit and they ran. I was in my car and it has been in the shop and will be for about a month. I banged my knee pretty hard and hurt my neck but I am alive. Before that happened the Dryer pooped out the water heater started to leak, The dishwasher started to make grinding noises and is on its last leg. Oh yes and then the Microwave gave up the ghost. I was starting to feel really down. Then I saw a picture of a child in africa all by itself in a field with a buzzard next to it. The child was little more then a skeleton. It made me sick. Then I come on Mylot, after not being on here for quite some time. Why did I quit coming here? Because the subjects that we have to pick from are so stupid sometimes it just aggrevates me. The first one I saw when I came back was HOW DO YOU EAT A BANANA? I thought wow, hasnt changed much, they are still paying people for these . Then today I am looking and come upon one where someone is feeling so sorry for themselves. for trivial stuff. Much as anything is trivial compared to children that have no water or food to eat. So I just had to write this, so you can stop and think. As long as you have a roof over your head and food on your table you have no worries. And God Forbid you should ever have to worry about your or any of your family or friends child dying because you cannot provide water or food for them. There are many sites on line that you can go to and donate money , any amount of money to these causes. There are even games you can play to donate water. The sponsors donate water every time you get an answer correct. So that doesnt cost you anything but a bit of your time every day. Stop and Think about it. Today is a good day for you and me.

Sorry to hear about your accident. Two of my friends were also in a collision where the driver ran a stop sign and totalled their car and kept right on going. Thankfully they both survived with minor inuries. Yes, there's a lot of people worse than we are. Let's do something to help out!

Thank you for the BR award, your thoughtfulness is appreciated! My friends are recovering nicely but they will have scars for the rest of their lives in this world. But things could have been much worse. I wonder what the driver who ran the stop sign, backed up his car after smashing into my friends' car, which is totalled, and took off before anyone could get his licence plate number, is thinking about? Is he, even a little bit concerned as to what he may have done? What a world we live in? Thankfully there is a better one later. 2 Peter 3:13 (New International Version) But in keeping with his promise we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, the home of righteousness.
