145. Yes it's all very concerning. I'm concerned that more people aren't properly concerned.

They should really show more concern. But not too much.

Kind of like the three bears, not too much concern or too little.

No, what we need here is just the right amount of concern.

Otherwise people will be concerned.

How's that? Did I pass the test? Am I concerned enough?

Let me know, because I can act more concerned if necessary.
