I'd like to take this opportunity to echo the comments of the users before me and state officially that you, toonzilla, didn't let anyone down. Perish the thought.
The person who let us all down was the lawyer friend. The coworker didn't help matters any, but it's squarely on the lawyer. Fuck that guy.
Anyways, not sure if you'll see this, but thank you for popping back in and explaining wth happened. You've given of yourself much more than anyone could have expected, and for that we are very grateful. AFAIC, you and Liv will always be welcome here, and I will continue to monitor this thread in case things over there change and we can be graced with more lusciousness from your gorgeous wife.
Until then, take care man
