Hey, I resemble that remark! And I am married! Sad so very, very sad LOL. On topic I was rased with the real men don't cry BS. A good cry always makes me feel better now. Am I still in the bro club after that?

Heh. I wasn't lobbing insinuations at the married folk, but at our social skill challenged brethren.
Oh wait... I suppose being married doesn't mean one has social skills.
Never mind.
If the bros won't take you because you exercise your lacrimal glands, you can join my club.

Great story, Verne!
