> And thank you especially, Sam, for a very inspirational message found in the most unlikely place; I was flipping through the random "I Thinks," and came across one about how wasteful soda cans are. It ended with the line "Soda in the nose is as bad as life gets." That got me thinking, and I decided that, you know, that makes more sense than it was probably intended to. And that's really what made me decide to forgive and move on, rather than dwell on the past. That may seem silly in the retelling, but it really did make a big difference to me, and profoundly changed my attitude toward the whole situation. Thank you again.

Um. Wow. And I thought that was just a throw away one-liner. I can't take credit for inspiring you, since I seem to have done it by accident, but I am very glad it helped and that things seem to be set right with you again. Yay!
