Speaking of sucide... my dad committed suicide at age 33 when I was 11. Bummer, that. (More than just "bummer"... he was an selfish ASSHOLE for abandoning me as a single parent. He was depressed because some race track groupie skirt didn't return his affections, so he "checked out"... tossed me to the winds without regard to my future. I guess he figured that in spite of my being 11 years old with no parents, "things would work out just fine for me, somehow".)
Unless I was old, sick and in pain... I wouldn't commit suicide. I feel like I'm "living on house money"... 2, times in my early 20's I had a BIG opportunity of getting killed in a car accident from falling asleep at the wheel at highway speed and running off the road (once when I was the driver). Count surviving those as my good fortune.
So... no matter HOW bummed I get about "things" (including the GWB and Odumbo administrations.. and the prospect/threat of Hellary being president), I still have a reason to count my lucky stars.
