Serious (Sad) Question

So a co-worker was set to have twins. Well, she gave birth to one, and the other died. So here's the question, do I get a condolence card or a congratulations card? I mean on the one hand I don't want to give her a congratulations when one of her twins died, but on the other hand I don't want to short-change the birth of a happy healthy child by only acknowledging the tragedy of the situation.

I looked in Hallmark, and they don't have con-trad-ulation cards.

Follow-up question: When, if ever would you tell the surviving twin that they had a sibling?

Well we got the one issue sewn up; blank card. Good idea there. Hadn't thought of that.

Now for the hypothetical: If you were the parent, would you ever tell the surviving twin that they had a twin? If so, when?

yeah, definitely. I know a couple people this has happened to, one of which was my grandmother. her parents told her and she has known her whole life.

Which also means I could potentially have twins since it skips a generation.

      Jack Roslovic: Only 2 other UFA, right-handed centers age 28 or under had more points (39) than him- Sam Bennett (51) and Pius Suter (46). There were 4 other centers age 33 and older who scored more: Gireaux (37), Marchand (37), Tavares (34), Granlund (33).  Unless the Canes go old, if they let Jack walk, they won't get a center who scored more.  Thoughts?

      It's important to differentiate criticism and hate. I can't speak for that individual you quoted. But most people who have been critical of the Tepper's have been so because both of them have made it a point to put themselves front and center and in the middle of team operations and we have been largely horrific more often than not as a result. If people are making derogatory remarks about her that should be met with an appropriate response but if people are being defensive just because she's being criticized all I can say is people should get used to it. Both her and David would have been getting absolutely skewered by the media and the fans if this were a big market franchise. The Lakers are finally being sold off after years and years of public criticism of Jeannie Buss and even though I'm the furthest you could go from being a Lakers fan just about anyone you could meet who is familiar with the NBA would say the criticism was certainly valid.
