I learned long ago that life isn't fair and we get what we give. I just need to remind myself of that once in a while when the going gets rough!
Flipper, who needs the family jewels? I future years, you will maintain your dignity and respect. there's nothing better than that.

How do you manage the frustrations that come with caring for his parents while thier daughter does nothing? I admire you.
