Good Lord J, I hope he doesn't risk losing his job to punish them. Pure MLC thinking.
I understand what you are saying about not wanting to stand forever. Like I told TVS, I think our Libra indiciveness helps me stand. As soon as I make up my mind that I cannot do this another second, my H does or says something that reminds me why I love him. I am sure I'll be okay another 12 or 18 months, maybe another 2 years. But 17 years? No ma'am, I don't think so. No one in the world is detached enough for that. I'm sorry J, I didn't mean to sound preachy. I can sure understand where you're coming from and have so much respect for you.
If it comes down to anything near your 17 years, maybe anything like 7 years, I hope I can be like Snodderly and Bea and Cadet and Kaffe and uR, and say adios with love and step away from the door. And maybe he would return after 11 years like Holly06's H did, but a person would get pretty blue in the face trying to hold her breath all that time.
