Maybe it's just that the "audacity" of the talker as it offended her "traditional" ears or maybe she was really bothered (or was considering) the message. Who knows? It serves us well to remember that we "take'em as we find'em" and then do the best we can to love them - as offensive as they may be to us. Happy New Year Brother, m Hey Jon,

I see over specialization in so many fields of endeavor, medicine especially. There do not seem to be many of us generalist out here anymore. I think Breen's point is hitting the nail on the head.
