    - I agree. the difficulty is something you can't really prepare for. having an opinion on what may or may not be a bad idea is of course possible. -- nm - Reagen Dec 4, 11:40

- that's, yeah, that's insane. -- nm - Reagen Dec 4, 11:28

  - also - if i had a child with cancer, i would *hope* i would be encouraging them to do EVERYTHING they wanted, here and now. - Andie Dec 4, 11:29 2
