Whoa, look at all these responses to my private little saga. Then again it wasn't private anymore once I posted it on something as public as the WWW right? Anyhow, thank you all for reading my rant and for caring enough to put in your thoughts. Yes Red, your input, and that of WTW, did offer much consolation. They soothed the evil side in me that believes if we (women) suffer, they (men) should too!
