sorry about changing the topic of the thread didn't mean to at all it was just that so much emphasis is placed on numbers and well yeah there are such things as odds but I more believe in fate and what will be will be...it is like a tornado will destroy one house and leave the next alone and it is also about choices...we have no control on some things it is just life sure numbers can help but no guarantees not for anything really ...oh thanks for the support and again sorry for changing topic.
