I'm glad you are feeling better and have good support with Josh.

Yay for Ashley! For her boyfriend and her job opportunity. I used to manage a cell phone store in a very wealthy town (I say manage because I was the only one there all the time) and I had a customer who came in from time to time and he had told me one day he was very impressed by my sales abilities and how I always remembered everything about him, his wife, and his kids, personally and preofessionally. He was a big wig at a bank in investments. he asked me to come in for an interview to be a sales associate and he said it was a great way to climb the ladder and become a stock broker. I bombed the interview with the bigs wigs, I was 22 and nervous as could be..... but it's always great to use all oppurtunities that present themselves..

Her father is an idiot, to be missing out on his daughter's life. I used ot be the hugest grudge holder, but I realize that when it makes you feel so horrible, it is best to be the bigger person and reach out. I hope she does, and I hope he reciprocates like an adult.
