    I believe that's right, Wynand for example filled an extensive website about steel boat building just to help other people and was happy to do so, when he lost it he was sad because no one was helped with it anymore, then it made me happy to find it and pass on the link to him, which made him happy because others could be helped with it again.

    You have the heart of an angel.

    I live with an angel. My wife. She claims she is a dark angel! She reassures me whenever I am worried.
    She says to me, "Don't torture yourself, darling! That's MY job!"
    Actually she says, "No te des por la tuya! Es mi trabajo!"
    Quoting her, but unsure it's an uplifting quote!

    She is a witty woman.
    She's also fond of saying, "Soy 49 percenta pera, Y 51 percenta Dama. No me provocar"
    translates, "I'm 49% b*tch and 51% a Lady. Don't provoke me!"

    Julie is very diplomatic. We turned onto a one way street. She remarked, someone is going the wrong way.
    I corrected her math. "One? There's hundreds of them!"

    My mom thought i was deaf and dumb until i was eight years old.
    One evening at the supper table, i complained the potatoes tasted scorched.
    Mom nearly fell out of her chair, astounded to hear me speak.
    I explained I hadn't said anything earlier, because everything was perfectly fine, up until now!
