    She's truly blessed. She's gotten more than karma, she's got my trust and a pair of gorgeous adult blue/green anery concinnus out of me for a mere token fee.

    But yeah, she's worthy. Heck, under different circumstances and birthdays(?)(lol) I'd ask her to marry me!

    all my thamnophises would belong to her

    you know that for sure, Stefan?
    not that I think being "good" is any kind of protection or guarantee in the least, but I do believe that often "bad" people hang out in groups, and proximity just makes it more likely for bad crap to happen (nothing karmic or divine about that - having to live near them has the same effect)
    similarly I do believe that "bad" stuff is more likely to "happen" to careless idiots who can't be bothered to plan ahead

    Nope. In fact, I know it's false, if reciprocity is taken into consideration.

    Anyway, it's a thought-terminating cliché. Bad things also happen to good people and good things happen to bad people.

    I'm one that believes you get more back of what you give. My life has proven that me on a daily basis.

    The book "See You At The Top" by Zig Ziglar has taught me one important fact of life(for me at least)

    This by no means is this a new concept. My Mother model it to me everyday.
    I've been living this for the last 35 years and can say I've gotten more good than bad, by a long shot.

    I strongly agree with you, my mother has always taught this to me too, although not from this book
