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.

Rest In Peace, sweet angel. by Irisharab
[I read Chris' message a few hours earlier, and for the first time in years, I broke down in tears. I wanted to wait a few hours to reply, hoping that the right words would come to me. I'm still at a loss for words, but I will try my best.]
For the past 8+ years, that young girl has been such an inspiration to so many of us, including me. Even if I live to be 100 years old, I doubt that I will ever know of anyone with the courage and strength that Kimi had during her childhood. I never had the chance to meet Kimi in person, but I know I will never forget her.
May God bless that sweet and beautiful angel.
Chris, my heart goes out to you, your wife, Kimi's parents, and to her entire family. Thank you for sharing Kimi's story with us.
