Wow! You've all given me exactly what I needed: hugs, blessings, advice...so much that I had to take notes before answering your posts. Zebedee, KimC, Hesperis, I'll trade ya, hug for hug. 'Spaw..New Pholadelphia?? That's twice as far for you to drive than me! We really should meet some day, though. We could turn our respective flocks of kids on each other and those of us who are no longer carded to get into a bar can have a good visit. BTW, are you related to Tim Wallace, the Cleveland area songwriter? You two resemble each other,both in looks and humor. (this is a compliment to you both.) Rabbitrunning et al, not to worry, I don't put much faith in astrology (interesting coincidences sometimes, though). It was just the last thing I needed to hear at this time. MaxTone, rest assured, my kids aren't pawns for either parent, nor for the lawyers, and I'm reading everything very carefully. Drives my soon-to-be-ex nuts. He's the one in a hurry, but I cut my teeth on legal circumlocution helping negotiate my union's contract a few years ago. And the turntable's needed in Ohio, about equidistant from Pittsburgh and Cleveland. I have a few ideas on that problem's solution, though. Harpgirl, thanks for clearing up the mixup between you and Kendall. Only on the 'Cat would anybody mistake one of you for the other *g*. I hope all goes well with the child support. My prayers are with you. Guest,Still, that's exactly why I posted here; these postings helped me to replenish my life with much-needed love and music. Aine, that's my usual style, but I was a bit overwhelmed yesterday. The sandwich was delicious; thanks for the menu suggestion. Aine & Naenamson, did you ever hear the story of the magician who made it possible for a whole town to hang out their problems like laundry so that everybody could swap their huge problems for smaller, more manageable ones? In the end, everyone chose to take their original troubles back. Naemanson, I'd answer (pm) Now folks, here's an update. The glasses got adjusted, I'm not working with the Clerk from Hell today (she's the biggest problem right now), my husband says the 78's can wait, I don't mind recording the others (that way I keep the original records), his lawyer made a goofy proposal that delayed signing anything, and the kids all hugged me when I got home. Whew, its a good thing my old English teacher can't see that last run-on sentance - it's a beaut! I can deal with the house, the papers are bound to turn up them, and you folks all have my thanks and gratitude for deflecting that massive batch of depression that was barreling down on me yesterday. My thanks to you all!
