Shiny...glad to hear all's well with the b-day thing....we sometimes get carried away with responses.

I know what you mean about your h job..my h up and left his job of 20 years..we lived on the retirement and he found another in 6 months..but loves it and the people..of course it is also when things started going downhill for our m, but for other reasons..not the actual job change itself.
So hang in there..better to be happy then in a job you hate..
