Thanks for your sympathies, sister brokies. Ha! I heard what U whispered Meryl! No, I didn't go to Mexico, but I did go to a party in Aurora, Colorado, last Friday with a group of guys and gals who are planning a BBM get-together in Colorado next spring. And somehow it gave me the courage to corner my recalcitrant mate in the shower and show him who's boss! So, the GDBOUS seems to be resolved for now!
