Well stated, Ken, it is all about choices....always enjoy your perspective when you do post up.

The above highlighted statement so reminds me of my 95.5 year young WWII 'Battle Of The Bulge' survivor Father-In-Law. He ended up having five daughters after his first born son. We were having a discussion about some family "challenges" and he shared a gem of wisdom that I'll never forget. That gem was; " Sometimes you just have to bite your tongue!" .

In the recent Veterans Day tribute to him one of the things I wrote was this; "This man sets a fine example of tolerance when dealing with people that *think* they know more than someone who's lived 9.5 decades on the planet!! ".
