Wow Ganb8te! I'm writing on my phone now but I really want to respond to all this amazing info!
I'll summarize by saying I'll be your new spouse, you sound awesome! smile

I have some rough ideas of ways to maybe connect. Not sure they are any good, but maybe you or someone else can find a way to build on them.

I also see some similarities with my sitch. I hate that word sitch.. Situation!

I'll write more in a bit. Hugs, Lisa
