Thanks for the words of sanity. I brought this up early in the thread, but I
think I phrased it something like, "didn't you bitches hear that Clinton
reformed the system" so nobody read it. heh. The ironic thing to me is,
Wayne just got bailed out with a handout when his AC system stopped working.
This SOB KNOWS what it is like to get caught short. As for the rest of them,
I just don't know what to say. I guess by now nobody wonders why I don't
want to CHAT.
