Don!  Great to hear from you again. You're so stinkin' smart.

Okay...concerning all of that...I probably (in a flexeril induced stupor) 
overstated my case a bit.  I appreciate all of the attempts to reign me in.
What I really mean is...

For years I complained about my job without even trying to step out and do 
something different.  You're right.  Not everyone is in a position to do so. 
 But I believe before we have the right to continue to bitch and moan about 
our situation, we should at least see if we do have options.  Took me 
forever to find the...whatever.  I'm glad I did.

As for unions.  I don't deny that they have brought about many much needed 
changes.  But I believe they have almost outlived their usefulness.  Or at 
least developed into so much that is not good that the good gets buried.  I 
also know that my family went through some incredibly difficult and hurtful 
times and that unions were mostly responsible.  So it's kind of a personal 
perspective too.

And as far as Borders goes, I was just trying to say that most folks who 
work there are pretty intelligent people who choose to work there and 
probably would have other options if they looked for them.  It is really not 
the same situation as someone working at McDonalds or doing housekeeping at 
Motel 6.

That being said...you make good points.

Same here.  I got an email from her about a year ago, and then nothing.  A 
couple of months ago I got an email inviting me (along with several others 
in the to: line) to her birthday party.  I immediately emailed her but still 
have heard nothing.

(I wonder if she knows how in love with her I was...)
