Ok, I don't know about everyone else but I'm very tired of this stuff. Let me tell you something that you may not be aware of. Every single person that I know, including myself have gone through, and are presently going through and coping with as many or more challenges than you have.
I'll lock this thread just so you remember what kind of drama the board doesn't need. If you have a problem, talk to someone about it privately and deal with it....we all are.
And BTW, I love brussel sprouts.
