Being taken for granted by friends sucks. At least they know enough to stop doing it once they figure out you're upset, though. I've had (emphasize the "had") a few who never could seem to figure that one out.
I'm sorry you had such a bad time. But it's wonderful to hear that you and your wife can make the best of it.
I'm too brain dead to think of anything else to say. I got shafted by a friend today, who supposedly "really" wanted to see me... and then decided that he was too lazy to get off the couch. Nice, huh?
DDR... hee hee. I finally saw one of those machines at the theater last week. I had never before seen one in real life. There was a 250-pound teenage kid with a half-shaved head dancing on it when we walked by. With every step, the dance pad would shake and his wallet chains would jingle and I'd half-expect the machine to buckle and break, but somehow it held up. It was one of those sights that made me wish I carried a camera around, right up until I realized that the kid would probably chase me down and make me eat it if he heard the click of the picture being taken.
Oh well.
Anyway, that's on the list of Things I Have Never Done But Would Like to Someday Try.
