WH,

You might be able to get a better price at your local pawn shop because you can negotiate the price for your rings.

As for the grocery store incident, that's fine. You do what makes you feel comfortable. No judging here at all.

You have grown! You've learned inner strength and courage in the face of all H's insanity. I have watched you over the last months and you are a different person today than, say, 4 months ago. Sometimes it is hard to see your own inner growth at times. It is all there! smile Yep, baby steps...then before you know it, you'll be in a much, much BETTER place that is brimming with endless possibilities.

Enjoy your night out in the movies! I'm your DD driver if you ever get too drunk! cool
