I commend you for starting this thread; however, I would like to comment about your posts in this thread. Even though you started the thread, you don't need to police it as that is what Moderators are for. IMO, dominating the thread with almost 1/3 of the posts also detracts from it. This is what chat rooms are for.
Thank you for your comments, but I just don't want things getting out of hand, as it almost did early. Let's move on, please.

*Last but not least, I am thankful to all at City-Data, for advise and friendships to navigate our way
Great post! Also, great mention about your in-laws. Not too many people ever mention that, but I'm glad you did. And animals are wonderful, too. We really are blessed.
