Hiya C2F - Yes, the 180 worked very, very well. Thanks to all the wonderful Martians here, this time, I just said my piece in 3 sentences, that if he would ask me first I would be happier, but I did appreciate that he was going to a lot of trouble to make the laptop work better for me. I then dropped the subject, and went about my day AS IF we did not have a tiff. And guess what? He snapped out of it in less than 6 hours - this is from a guy who can bear a grudge for DAYS!!!! So yeah, the 180 worked!
I noticed from my earlier posts today that this will be my 2,500th post - wow. When I first logged on nearly 2 years ago, I had no idea I would be still here, and have so much to process through. The Mighty Sulk earlier this week just proves the point that there is much unfinished business and I need to be here, gathering feedback as I am feeling challenged.
