Thank you, thank you, thank you all. I have good news to report! It's unrelated news, but still good news. Y'all remember that rehab I went to in CA that ripped me off? Well, through perserverance I just received the money back today I'd been asking for. Sure, it's not all of it, but I am a reasonable person and it's what I wanted. As fate would have it, a nice guy took the reigns over from the previous administrator. Moral of the story - keep plugging along and good things *can* happen. Whew!
As to this situation (this thread), probably not much can be done, but I was graced with one big good thing today. Hey, I just might treat myself to Chinese food tonight!
