Stardust: This thread is usually the first place I go every morning..starting out the day knowing how I feel makes it just a little bit easier to get thru it. And it's really not "old", it's just really popular. Good vibes towards you as you figure this out.

Amy22: I hope your dog is okay, too. My two boys (blue heelers) are often all I have, with my kids grown and my husband away for weeks at a time (not to mention suffering from FDB syndrome which flares regularly ) and those two dogs love me no matter what. If you think you're going to throw up, I say go for it.
(BTW, the FDB syndrome is a really bad joke and not a real disease)

Denise: yay for enjoying the simple things! I have my coffee in hand and the sun is shining...maybe I need to head out there right now.

Me today: roller coaster..hubs is still hot and cold (okay, lukewarm and cold), but did officially end the angry standoff yesterday and decided he could stay married to me even if I did lose another job. For a college graduate with a successful business, you'd think he'd be able to understand a little bit, at least. Gonna have to give that man some REAL education.
