What a day for Mom's

Well...both my mother and my mother-in-law where taken by ambulance to the hospital today. On the same day. Both of them. What are the odds ? Anyone ?? They're both fine now. Thank God !! Both father's were lost last year, and just the thought of losing one of them is beyond unbearable.
To make matters even worse was the fact that my brother-in-law called to tell me of my mother-in-law, and for some unknown reason, he always speaks to me as though I were profoundly retarded. Or perhaps a mildly stupid 2 year old. And he was a patronizing child hater. I don't know which it is, but I DO know that it annoys the hell out of me, and one of these days he is going to call me at the wrong time and I am going to let him have it. It's like..." How are youuuuuuuuuu ??? Oh, goooooooooood !!!!" I really just want to slap the hell out of him. He's a salesman....is that it ?? He must suck at selling anything, I should think.
