Thanks for the sympathy. I usually don't whine but I feel guilty that I've been kinda absent of late. The clue-by-four this weekend didn't work, so we get to watch 2 people we care about continue to screw up their lives by being completely irresponsible. It's great to chase your dreams, but as you run, your feet have to occasionally touch the ground. "Loan" is not a synonym for "income." "Looking into" does not equal "doing." On the plus side, I've gotten some nice artwork done and I've been so stressed out I've lost a bit of weight. Should I market the Sister-In-Law diet? It could be even more successful than Atkins! : Sigh
