I think I've earned a dram or two of Laphroaig tonight, myself! Thanks again to all, particularly Starsky, for the advice and encouragement. What a wild ride.
As my dad would say, "Enjoy!"
You are welcome, K, and it is my pleasure. I know I busted your b*lls pretty hard there for awhile, but I gotta hand it to you -- when you snap into action, you snap into action. You remind me a lot of myself (also a classic fixer/pleaser/"Mr. Nice Guy"), actually. And I was an IDIOT when I first landed here, and did NOT listen to everyone who was trying to warn me that my indifference towards my wife was going to lead to her having an affair. Nope, not MY wife!
But when I got bombed? I snapped into action REAL quick, I will give myself that. So after a year and a half, I guess I was an overnight sensation, LOL.
