Thanks for the encouragement. I do agree that I'm not out of this fight yet. And I'm still hopefull to save my family and spare my children the pain that they're unaware is so perrilously close to them.
I'm not too worried about the money. Really, I was mad for Dan. If that plays out the way his L says, he's getting the shaft. And it's not fair the way the system works.
However, that got me thinking about what we are all being subjected to. I feel like daddy LongShanks' vision of a LBS concentration camp, while figurative, is more reality than jest. Of course, this site and the work we're all doing is all about tunneling out and becoming free men/women again. It still sucks that we were rounded up from our comfortable lives and transported here to face the prospect of either escaping or suffering some sort of lingering metaphorical death. Even after we escape and make our new and better lives. Won't we bare the scars of this forever? Heck, even if the war is declared over and we don't have to escape (i.e. they come back), this is not going to just disappear. Yes. I'm stronger now. Yes if it ever happens again, I'll know how to escape much faster, but I was still here! I have a number on me that will never let me forget this.
Sorry. It's a bad day.
