Everyone....thank you so very much for the kudos....the overriding feeling...without a doubt, RELIEF! After being unemployed for 18 months and blowing thru virtually all of our savings (managed to keep the kids' college $$ untouch), I did not relish the idea of looking for another job with no cushion this time. Although I don't love this "other" job, I have Betts Books to love and I guess that's good enough.
You all have been so very supportive of me, I cannot thank you enough, whether it was pulling for me to pass this test, or being patient while it took me an extra while to answer your email or ship your item at Betts. People here are just of the very highest caliber, and I bow to you all. THanks so very much!!!
