Dianne, you are so sweet, dear and special. There are times when my financial concerns affect the lifetime moreso than the temporary. I was in the same boat as Ron and was totally nuts about outcomes...like the mortgage that went thru 6 days before closing. Maybe Ron's gotta do what he's gotta do now and drink kool-aid later?
Let us know when you can, Ron!
Love,
Kitty
