Thanks, everybody, I really needed some feedback to help me calm down. I'm usually very easy going and have, even my daughter says, LOTS of patience. But I know my blood pressure must be sky high at the moment.

And, sadly, Lilith, I've got one of those others you described, too! (The "I cannot believe he is so damn smart and does absofuckinglutely nothing with it!") Do you think I can get anybody to do a 2-for-1 trade?!

And now she's in a great mood and all smiles like nothing happened. Meanwhile, I'm still pretty shakey.

Irish, at least the grandchildren you can send back home to Mommy and Daddy once you've had a visit with them!
