Thanks to all of you! I didn't think I was bing the selfish one for wanting to get this done and out of the way, but a little (ok, a lot!) of validation sure helps!
I certainly seems that what W wants in a H and what I am are not quite the same thing. I don't think that I am that much different in real life than I am here, but that's so hard to say. Though I guess it is a good thing that I don't have to vacuum up the my thread, or fold it and put it away! Not sure where this is headed, but there may be more later!
