Universal health care would cure a world filled with illness and I really hope we see it one day soon.

You and Betty know what is right for Betty and for you too. I know sometimes you think your head will explode so I guess I would say is to smile and take advice you want and ignore the rest. Maybe you can just look at it that both of you are loved and people want to help. I smile when I read your posts. The both of you are very special and you are also teaching many others.
