This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

CJ-Prayers to you, your family, friends,and especially Kimi by Raristotle
Though we are strangers, I have prayed daily for Kimi since you first posted about her. Not to lessen my other prayers for the health of friends and family, but Kimi's name was one of only two names I daily called out loud, along with my older brother John (ND '90), who died this past summer. Kimi gave me personal strength through her quiet fortitude. She is and will forever be one of my heroes.
I often wonder whether certain friends and family who died made it to Heaven--whether they achieved God's goal for them for all eternity. I don't wonder that Kimi had to wait even a millisecond to achieve the beatific vision; her virtue was perfected here on Earth. Thank you for sharing her saintly story her on NDNation. May God bless you.
