So after some quick googling, turns out the story is much more wholesome
So this guy named Danny Thomas was a down on his luck comedian. He was practically flat broke and was about to have his first child. He went, emptied out his wallet in offerings (7 dollars, or about 150 dollars today) and prayed to Saint Jude for intervention (Since he’s the patron of desperate situations and lost causes, something that Danny was definitely feeling at the moment) A week later, he landed a gig that paid 10 times the initial offering. Yet again, he prayed to St. Jude, that if had success in life, that he promised that would build a shrine in his honor. And he struck it big time. Ended up with a whole show. So he made good on his promise. Built an entire hospital (which he was also the patron Saint of apparently) with the money from his show in St. Jude’s honor.
So yeah, it wasn’t really about being a lost cause for the people there. The guy who built it was desperate, and he didn’t want others to feel that way to. He had a child on the way, so he knew that a parent’s primary concern would be the safety of their children. He made sure that parents wouldn’t feel so desperate. That they wouldn’t think it was a lost cause. And I think that’s pretty neat.
Yo, I’m Himy, He/Him. I enjoy reading books, understanding why and how things work, anime/manga, video games and obviously, TTRPGS. I’m not the sharpest tool in the shed, but I like to think Im close. I’m good at trivia, history and science
I struggle with empathy. If you’re not sure what I mean by that, it basically means it’s hard for me to understand the mental state of others and respond with the right emotions

On another note, chicken was not as defrosted as I wanted. So got potatoes on the stove to boil into mashed potatoes and the leftover pork chops. (yeehaw)
I imagine this in a cowboy voice
So did i
Although I may not be a cowboy I certainly do enjoy giving a nice loud "YEEEEEEEEEEEE-HAAAAW!" now and then when driving in the car.

I also got to have a nice little moment. Let's establish some characters.
Alice and John are engaged. Tyler is Alice's brother.
On the topic of praying for the wrong thing Alice mentions how back in highschool she kept praying for some of the guys to be her boyfriend and that she's so glad that wasn't answered because it wouldn't have been good for her.
So later I'm talking with Tyler and am like, "You know how your sister was mentioning unanswered prayers for the best, it's a good thing she knows John. I'm sure he has a friend he could introduce her to."

Not necessarily, conversations should just occur naturally and not be forced into one thread or another.
it’s just funny cause now LCW is like the OGs chat (with a couple newer ppl ofc) and Onions is getting all the newbies and younger posters
Sort of, LCW, is also in the forums games, and looks intimidating, because, so many long quote chains, also, right now, onions is more chaotic
How are you doing?
