Christie - This never really had a chance to even become a full-fledged match. It's not easy to admit but it did happen. I'm disappointed and angry to some extent and DW is disappointed too. In a way we're botha bit angry, not because of the failed match but because almost from the end of our first conversation 5 days ago, we've been on the defensive, constantly feeling we had to defend our reasoning; time and energy wasted when we should have been spending time learning more about each other. I thank God these issues presented themselves now instead of just before or worse yet, after placement. We live & learn. I look forward to being an active participant in this and other threads here.
