Recently, one of my brother's friends experienced the instantaneous loss of his wife and three children due to a car crash. Only one body made it out of the fire - the rest had no open casket because nothing was left. I asked my brother what do you say to people when that happens - it was God's will? They're in a better place? etc. I tried to imagine how I would feel in that situation, and I just couldn't conceive it. Anyway, here's my brother's response - I think you might ...
Ok, I mentioned I was going to do this a while ago. Then as usual I forgot/didnt get round to it. A couple of months ago I found copies of my school reports from age 5 - 14. I am going to put the comments here. It may well provide some insight for anyone interested in who kilted actually is. In Scotland we have primary school and secondary school.

We have generally gotten along well with only an occasional tiff. She claims I favor the tow drivers vs. the members we service when there is a disagreement. There is truth to that. My general policy is that my drivers have no reason to lie and members usually overstate their case or refuse to admit they are being ...
I have read a few things here that really REALLY made me angry. I am totally upset and insulted. I don't know when or if I will return here...probably when I cool down and consider the situation rationally, which could be in three hours, three days or whatever. Who knows, who cares. *edit* who knows, who cares is just a silly statement on my part. I know that I am very lucky to have people here care about me, and that statement is disrespectful to those folks. I have a habit of typing ...
