Katie:
 
Ron's minor complaints may annoying to you, but I find them  
realistic and at times almost endearing. I read over your list of 
quotes and couldn't help but think, "so what?" Ron's life *IS* hard. 
I don't think he's a constant complainer. (I agree quite firmly with 
Del on all this, except on the matter of Molly and Arthur, who I 
think are remarkably loving parents even under difficult 
circumstances.) And if you can't talk about annoyances with your 
friends, who can you talk to? Give me an ordinary, sometimes 
slightly self-pitying buddy over a "chin up! can-do!" type any day.
