We're doing OK.  It won't even impact my gaming spending.It'll move a few Kitchen Gadgets purchases a month or so back.I let little stuff get to me way too much.I'd rather take it out on an anonymous web site than on my wife.Ironically, like many people I'm a lot more careful around strangers than family.Thanks for listening.A few more rant points1.  Put up the Cell Phone.2.  It's called a TURN SIGNAL.3. Why do you merge onto the Freeway at 35 MPH & then Hit the Hammer down until you are doing 95?4. An SUV is not a tank.  Do not drive it as one.  If you won't take your SUV down Gravel Roads, why did you buy one?5.  This one is why I'm feeling so much better.  If you are going to ride a Motorcycle & you are going to wear baggy pants...  They will ride down.  So you probablly shouldn't wear White Boxers Shorts with the little red hearts that have faded to pink.  No matter how hard you try, you can't look tough on a Harley with your pants around your knees & Pink hearts all over your cheeks.</blockquote>
