Nice to have you aboard, MBO, regardless how you got here. We all can learn something from this thread, even if it's only "think". Reading through it, and my own posts, I'm reminded of my dad and my Uncle Ed when they got "old". It was tiresome to hear them rail on about how things were changing for the worst. As my teacher wife always says, "I just want you to LISTEN!" ha So, just consider some of this venting.....some of it. Join in, and get something off your chest. We'll "LISTEN", already! And have fun.
