Ali,
I'm so glad that you are getting a second chance! All the cautions are valid, but I won't beat you over the head with them (unless it becomes necessary). ;\) You have a NEW R with some elements of the old.

On your getting teary...I'm wondering if it might just be in your best interests to avoid alcohol when you are around him, at least for a while. I'm a teetotaler, so I don't really know a lot about this from personal experience, but I know that alcohol loosens self-control, and one thing that is necessary for DBing is self-control. Something to consider, anyway.

Hope you don't abandon those of us still stuck in ruts over in the MLC forum! I have been posting the last few days about something that I'd like to get DB feedback on, and have had NO responses...?!?

Take care and hope your final countdown on your projects is going well!

Peace,
Dawn
