very funny michael mann. Kevin. thanks for the advice... i see a difference in our situations. you were actually engaged to this girl. I only went on one date with this guy. I have been blatantly mean. I think that it might be starting to work. I didn't get a phone call all day today until 4. (NO i didn't answer it.-- i haven't answered any of them). But seriously guys.. thanks for all of your immediate assistance and advice.. it's great to know i have good friends out there in the world.
