Zoinks!!!

What a total drag :(

It sucks when it all just seems to pile-up at once like that. Especially when you throw the ticker issues in the mix. I had a round of fib that lasted months and thought it was time to find the bucket and a steel-toed boot.

Hang in there - get rest if you can! Unplug the phone, turn-down the lights and put on your favorite music or something. Find something to help you relax (not twinkies ;-).

Don't let the mental doo-dah drag you down!!!!!!

It can just keep building into a whirlpool - DON'T LET IT.

I will talk with the Big Guy about this in just a sec....he is there and is able to deal with all of what you are going through. Not sure if you believe in that, but... :)

I wish you peace, Trish...

and..BTW - your cat in the fridge pic is a gut-buster!
