Hello, DAVE.

Thankfully, my parents never did that.  But oddly, when someone dies, I don't
cry and I don't show emotion (I've been accused of being extremely cold).  I go
numb.  It's an odd way of reacting, but because of my childhood and a rough
"teen-hood", I've learned how to turn off emotions to deal with things.

It's always hit me hardest losing friends in the BBSing world, believe it or
not.

I will have to remember that. :)

It's been proven in scientific studies that humans react worse to a pet dying
than a human, believe it or not.

  peanut oil until onions are clear or tender.  Add garlic and cook a
  little longer. Add steak sauce, hot sauce, and ketchup. Salt to
  taste. Add Southern Comfort.  Bring to a boil.  Lower heat and cover.
  Cook for 2 to 3 hours. This sauce can be stored in the refrigerator
  for several weeks. Makes 3 quarts to 1 gallon. Justin says, "This is
  not to drink, no. It's to use as a bubba-que sauce, but it also, too,
  is mighty fine for soppin." From Justin Wilson's "Outdoor Cooking
  With Inside Help"

MMMMM
