Thanks for sharing that. It shows how serious things can get before they turn around. I’m glad you came out of it.

Gee…1 post and gone. Who could have predicted that?

When are you people going to learn to recognize when you are being…fished with multiple lines from a moving boat?

So what? Maybe the OP read everything, but didn’t feel like posting again. She’s in a really sucko place. Maybe someone else reading this thread got something useful out of it.

Knock it off. The rule against such accusations doesn’t change just because you don’t use the word.
