Trish S... Many thanks for thinking of me (and my soon-to-be-ex-roomie). The prayers are sure welcome! Over many years I've come to the conclusion, Trish, that I'm blessed with a fairly consistent "naturally UP" personality. In fact, there've been times when I felt I SHOULD be depressed for one reason or another and simply could not sustain the feeling more than an hour or so. A few years ago, I was feeling very blue (for ME, anyway), and went to see a psychologist. In his office, I told him I felt low, and he started to LAUGH! Boy, was I pissed! "I'm SERIOUS," I stormed at him, and when he could finally stop laughing, he said, "Barb, your LOWS are the AVERAGE person's HIGHS!" He was right <smile>.

My thoughts and prayers are with you (and of course, with your former roommate). Trish
