@georgetakei If my thoughts and prayers worked, we'd have the homeless taken care of, enough good nutritious food to go around, I'd have a MUCH better paying job with more hours in the afternoons and get my writing mojo back in the mornings for publication.

And for those in office always offering "thoughts and prayers": How about we stop giving you money to campaign for re-election and just offer "thoughts and prayers" if they work so bloody well? We'll see how long it takes them to shut up and go for the greenbacks.
