TVC -- this probably wont sound very encouraging but

things could be worse !!

you could be on the streets without a house

you could have no friends to help laugh/cry thru this with you

you might not have a computer to VENT WITH US --
so you wouldnt realize that we're all sending you POSITIVE thoughts !!!

wish it could be an A/C man -- i know what you're going thru -- we were without power for 8 days after the hurricane passed thru here (SW FLORIDA)last year in August -- so i can relate to the heat

took alot of cold showers ;-)

and look at the POSITIVE side of all this -- you wont notice the HOT FLASHES when they happen ;-)

seriously ---- i DO feel your frustration and i hope everything turns around for you soon !!
