Thanks again for all the kind words:)

Btw, everything is back up here now with the new links. And so far, no more nasty messages since I posted this, so maybe it did some good? You know, it's funny, it's taken days to get them all changed and approved/posted, five or so a day, but yesterday was the only day I received anything like that, and there were several. But hopefully, it will remain the only day...

My son has been through hell. Nothing really tragic like cancer or anything, but still a lot of misery. Since he started kindergarten in September, he's been sick pretty much constantly, catching every damned cold and flu that's passed through his class. Last month he even ended up with full blown pneumonia, a really bad case of it. He had to have IV antibiotics for days, lots of needles. Then the antibiotics caused an intestinal infection that caused him even more misery than the damned pneumonia, I mean screaming agony, vomiting, diarrhea... Then a week or so later, he got it AGAIN, due to antibiotics he was taken for something else! (Strong antibiotics wreak havok on your digestive system, killing good bacteria) Now we've gotten him over that again, he was finally feeling good again for a couple days, when BAM, he caught a bad cold again yesterday. The poor kid would be lost if he wasn't taking some kind of medicine every day. lol His immune system must be begging for mercy. Oh yeah, and he had to have his adenoids removed a few months ago, too.

And on top of all that, we found out he has a fairly bad case of scoliosis, which essentially means his spine is curved in bad ways. A few days before Christmas he had to start wearing a rather uncomfortable brace that covers most of his torso. He has to wear it pretty much 24 hours a day, and he'll possibly need it until he's in his late teens. He's dealing with it well, but it still breaks my heart.

So the boy hasn't really even been up to just running around the yard or playing in the snow or just things like that. He's really had a rough time, and had to face the new adventure of school through it all.

So if I lose my temper with assholes like these, I think you can understand why.

Edited for typos and sentences that weren't quite English.
