Sorry dude, my dad does the same thing. God forbid I interrupt his t.v. show or radio newscast, when I need to talk about school or ask a serious question! Parents, they want to know EVERYTHING in your life, then turn around and ignore you!

YDI for being an idiot. I mean those articles are "fear mongering" types of articles. Yes, your loved ones can die, or might be your last time seeing them. You can't live every day with the assumption that it is your last time you're ever going to see them. That's just idiotic and stupid. Memories are what count, you don't want to live remembering them and how you prepared to remember them by spending each day like it was their or your last.
