I rarely pm anyone. Many people are paranoid about pms, but certain people seemed to get ripped no matter what they do. It should have been obvious to anyone reading my post that it was something for the OP to keep in his hip pocket so to speak for times of trouble. A good example is Senator John McCain. He was in a prisoner of war camp for several years, but had the courage to say "first man in first man out". The North Vietnamese offered to let him go once they realized he was the Pacific Fleet Commander's son but he opted to stay and leave according to his turn based on his arrival. I'm sure having a little faith in God got him over that hump. Someone may not believe right now, but you never know when something will come in handy or you may have to re-evaluate all of life's little priorities.
