[QUOTE="skeeter, post: 146201, member: 439"] Dreamer - a piece of advice, and I really don't mean to sound callus..... Stop reading the paper and watching and listening to the news. Seriously, "if it bleeds it leads" is the mantra of our media. You very rarely hear the "good news" stories, but there are many out there. You hear the horror stories (over and over and over and over) mainly because they are horror. I'm not saying to bury your head in the sand, but to insulate yourself from a constant barrage of this stuff. If something really bad happens that needs your attention, believe me, you'll find out about it. The things you cannot do much about just don't deserve your being worried about them. I never watch TV news. The only reason I have the radio on is for traffic reports. I "selectively" read news on the internet, but purposely skip over many of the horror stories because they get me too upset (mad, usually, that people are so stupid). [/QUOTE]
