Agree, Steve, but I would say Andrea's a big girl and can handle things on her own, and there's no reason to make a big deal of her coming back, especially when she left for a whole 36 hours or so.
She is quite capable of chosing whether and when to return. She has very strong views and is a very strong woman; but like most of us, male or female, susceptible to hurt feelings.
I guess what I'm saying mainly is I'd stop referring to Andrea as if she were a man.
Appropo to nothing, does any common word get mispelled more often on these boards than "lose." "Choose" and "chose" I can understand, as the root of the word is the same, merely different tenses. I guess I must be loosing my mind! The share price made me do it! LOL
