[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 330015"] Your personal insight is profoundly mature and by talking about it, surely you can help others. Received this today and thought it was good: [FONT=arial][COLOR=#D52B1E][FONT=Georgia][B]Celebrate: To observe an occasion with appropriate ceremonies of respect, festivity, and rejoicing.
