Thanks for the birthday wishes. Hmmm... yes I learned a lot along the way on the MLC train but boy - I was a tough nut to crack. I did NOT want to believe this was happening. I took a long long time. Stood for my M for a long time, finally reached the point when I no longer felt that I could. It is all a very personal timeline - that I learned.

Yes, he and maggot created their own little nest, free from outside influences. The air HAS to get stale after a while. It just seemed to take way too long for anything to change.
