backhanded NSV...

It's difficult to confront ignorance, couple that with old age and it's a no win situation.  You're doing wonderfully and have only yourself to please. Keep up the good work and don't let others get you down. 

 Well thanks everyone. It's been a couple days and I really think I'm over this.  I'm just not letting it get to me at all.  Which is a NSV all in itself!  

I really appreciate the thoughts and uplifting comments.  I love the support system I've got here.
