Dabbo, the "last car" we purchased and knew we could - a new Lexus one - a lady rear-ended it and shmashed the car into an accordion.

Fiance was LIVID. But I said, at least no people or animals were hurt, and we still have the old Lexus SUV.

Sometimes our best-laid plans...

I don't take bad luck or crisis as well as I did when I was well. In 2002, (and before, while I was well) I was SO strong and fearless. I thought I could make ANYTHING happen, if I just took the right path and fought hard. I viewed work almost like slashing through a jungle, and I was the HERO.

Strange how things have changed.
