Frank - no need to apologize, honey! We all have days (or weeks) like you're having. Sometimes we just need to "lurk" and read and not post if we don't feel like it. Nothing wrong with that.
I am sorry about the turn of events in your life, though. Getting laid off is hard - I hope she can find something else soon. Did you see the thread about working from home (it was on the "other" board)? Is that something she (or you) might like to do?
Hang in there - things will get better. I know they will. Maybe there is a better job out there just waiting for her. I'm praying for ya'll.
