Stop yer whining...

A little long, but worth the time...

This should stop people from whining about stupid stuff for at least a couple minutes?

Kind of puts everything into perspective................we concentrate too much on the little things, not realizing how small they really are. Thanks for bringing this to our attention!

Pancreatic cancer is usually a quick one to take you... Had a neighbor a couple houses up who died from that last fall. Six weeks from diagnosis to death. She was an MD, knew exactly what was in store for her...

BTW, I've gotten a few reps for posting this - thanks for those, but I'll assume they are really intended for Mr Pausch...
