I totally get that. 20 years ago I saved my ex from drowning and her choking/burping/gasping sounds still haunt me to this day.

Sarah, thanks to you I have a permanent reflex to bolt for a TV remote every time I hear the song "Angel" because if even one of those little puppy faces makes it to the screen before I turn the channel, my girlfriend is reduced to a crying mess.

So my question is, if a person wanted to make a commercial that would make Sarah McLachlan cry every time she saw it, what would the subject matter be, and what music would you put it to?

Thank you for your work with ASPCA, and I appreciate the super bowl commercial that brought a little humor to a very serious subject.

Guy, back when I was fresh out of college, you came to Fargo, ND to speak at an event called “Stampede” put on by the first company I worked for, Great Plains Software (now Microsoft Business Solutions). This would have been around 1998 I suppose, so we’re talking 15-16 years ago. During your speech you said something that has stuck with me ever since. It was about having kids, and how with the first one you are so cautious that you treat everything like it’s dangerous. But once the second one comes along, and he/she picks up a handful of dirt to put it in their mouth your first thought is “Well….dirt probably has some essential vitamins and minerals in it.” So here I am, 16 years later at a different company, with a different job, in a different state. I don’t remember anything else you said during your speech, (which is a shame because I like your message very much) but every time I see a child with dirt in their mouth I think of what you said and chuckle. Keep up the good work!

He sure was.

Thank you for the response!
