darth and curelover: you guys did not answer my questions. esp, you curelover re: cure rarities. as for curelover's bleak perspective on life -- life does not have meaning until you give it one. so perhaps life is not about the process of work, marriage, retirement, and dying. but what else is there? what can an individual do to make their life have more meaning and substance. it's not handed to us on a silver platter but we have to search out for it. well, that probably won't really cheer anyone up really but hey, i tried.
