I am going to be away for awhile. I don't like the negative turns a lot of these threads are taking and I don't like how it is negatively impacting my attitude. I admit that I have a weakness where I can't let things go if I don't agree with them. That actually isn't too bad of a weakness in real life, but in an online community where there are different people from different background and cultures it is very very frustrating. I spend way too much time hitting the "check for new messages" button.

I'll be back someday, hopefully a different person. For those of you who care, you can email me. For those of you who don't, ignore this message.

A big thanks to everybody who has helped me, especially Bonnie B. You rock and your patience is unparalleled.

Peace.
