That's very true, we have switched roles here haven't we...I am now more the LBS, You are right, I'm going to take all the wonderful advice given here and start really keeping my emotions in check, (tough as that can be sometimes), but I think I can do this. It's amazing to me how I feel this strange sense of calm in the midst of all this. I'm sure it's because I've been able to keep a positive attitude that I don't think could have exsisted without this site actually.
Thanks again for all your responses and Happy October....
