    happy birthday to you for yesterday LT. hope things get resolved soon. One thing that I have learned with my dad passing, is that sometimes you have to say whats on your mind and ask the questions, because suddenly 'one day' is too late...
    I want a job that is less than an hour driving away from my house! Are you listening universe?
