The best attitude under BAD circumstances? "This is the worst thing that's ever happened to me, but I WILL get through it." has worked for me so far. And then a sense of humour - which has helped in all but one situation.

Sorry the above was so out-there, had repeated things and unchecked... rough day.
Basically the lesson is to always keep in mind that knowing others feel exactly what you do, regardless of how they show it, will help you do the one thing that makes one feel better than anything else... act with compassion & love.

Tell me a tale of harship and keeping one's perspective and sense of humor.

As I type this, there are two Tasmanian miners trapped under thousands of tonnes of rock in a collapsed mine shaft.They've been trapped for over 10 days. They are being kept alive through a 4 inch plastic pipe that has been eased through a drill shaft. Ice blocks and home made soup are being pushed through to keep them alive while teams of miners work around the clock to drill a new fifty foot shaft across through solid rock and underneath the safety cage that saved them from death.
there are no guarrantees that the rocks won't move again before or during the breakthrough. The situation is about as harsh as it can get for the two guys trapped in a steel crate less than a metre and a half square.

How does this relate to the thread? Well apparently, the guys have requested a short detour in the ambulance on the way to hospital. Reports say that they'd like the ambulance to call in at MacDonalds' [with full lights and sirens!] and pick them up some burgers...............

Legendary.Just legendary.
