<p>@London- Very sad. When I read threads like that I always think: Thank God my snooty/driven Dad had the good sense to marry a girl from the Midwest. That woman saved us all. It sure wasn’t like this when we went to BS. Sometimes I feel like I live in a foreign land… which is interesting and maddening at the same time.</p>
<p>I read your post and thought you made perfect sense. I almost resent the toll that other mind-set has had on everyone else. It’s pervasive. (Maybe we should start another thread to talk about that thread. Of course, I’m totally kidding! 
)</p>
<p>@CM- The last line of your post was music to my ears…</p>
<p>I really loved the article, patronyork. Thanks again!</p>
