Get over yourselves people. Sometimes people are just crappy. How about a little bit of intestinal fortitude. How about just doing the right thing. How about getting rid of the self pity and taking the blinders off? How about you quit complaining about what life is doing to you and yours, get up, and go do something productive?
It needed to be said.
