I completely get this. It's a litle painful reminder that not all is well. It's right up there with ending phone conversations with just "bye" as opposed to the previous standard of "love you, talk to you later." (even worse when hearing her phone calls with Mom and sis end like this)

Does anyone know a good elephant exterminator? There seems to be one in a lot of our houses that really needs to be taken out. I really hate that @#$%ing elephant.
