Oh no Charlie...thats awful. Well you sound like you are in pretty decent spirits considering. Geeze, thats not a very nice company. Is it a small one or something? Well Im real sorry to hear they did that to you. HOw did everyones Christmas turn out? Mine was pretty good. I was ready for it to be done and over with, which I have never felt like before. It was weird, but it all ended up fine. There just always seems to be added stresses, as Im sure you all know, financial, family conflicts, etc. etc. and so you never know if its really all worth it. But, like I said it turned out okay and now I have a heck of a lot of cleaning to do. Im also trying to mentally prepare for starting Atkins. Im also debating starting 1 week before I go back to school or just waiting until then to do it. The sooner the better, but I also feel like its hard when your routine is not there. Well, take care and Merry Christmas to everyone, hope it was a great one. Jessi
