oh, gosh,I am so sorry...I didn't read that last page of your thread, Smiley, and what I just posted was not quite appropriate in the context of more recent content. I apologize sincerely.
I read your thread not only because I find your writing style intriguing, amusing, and wonderful, but because I admire and aspire to your level of mojo! Carry on, bro. and yes, embrace the suck. it's the only way to the other side of the suck.
