Well...I am not surprised you are feeling sorry for people who have need
for it. You seem to have very misdirected emotions!
I *am* curious, though, how the term "smarmy" applies. I hardly think I
am "engraciating and wheedling in a way that is insincere", which is the
definition of that term. I'd be happy to hear how you came up with that
one. LOL!!
