Dear Robert, I absolutely will not accept that - you cannot leave us here.  We all value your friendship.  If there is so conflict that is causing you to feel this way, please rethink it.  If that is the case, and you can&#39;t work it out, just ignore it.  I for one, would miss you terribly and I know others feel the same way.  If Joey and Jackie were here, they would be giving you the same spiel.  It isn&#39;t even an option, so forget about it, and that is an order&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;   Mercedes, your grandchildren are beautiful - look at those smiles&#33;&#33;&#33;  Well, thank God that those nasty election ads are over and done with&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;  I just bought our plane tickets to Lubbock for my nephew&#39;s wedding.  We were planning on driving but I just hate the thought of driving ALL day Friday, the wedding is Sat., and then driving again ALL day Sunday.  Got a really good deal on American Airlines - got 4 roundtrip tickets for &#036;1100.  My main concern is that we will be flying in a 50 passenger jet from Dallas to Lubbock and I have never been in a small plane.  It is only an hr. long flight, but I am already nervous&#33;&#33;&#33;  Even though I used to travel quite a bit on business, I HATE flying.  Actually, I have to take a prescription sedative about an hr. before or I wouldn&#39;t even be able to board the plane.  Anyone have any experience in a smaller jet - such as, can you tell me if it is bumpier than a large jet?  Rose, how is your daughter doing?  Maria, we became smoke free last year and it is wonderful&#33;&#33;&#33;  Well, gotta&#39; scoot - forgot to get Greg coffee the other day when I went to CostCo so have to go back.  He is a snob - will only drink StarBucks and you can get a 2 bag of beans at CostCo for around &#036;10.  They have a huge grinder there also, so I just dump it in and it takes less than 5 minutes to grind the whole bag.  Have a wonderful day, and Robert - don&#39;t even think about it&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;
