Good on you to stick to your principles and make that move. A hard reboot that was for sure!
It's sickening how unscrupulous some big corporates are to succeed, as if the end justifies the means!
When hubby and I used to debate the pros and cons of selling and getting a smaller lock-and-go home, he often said they'll have to just carry him out of our home in a box one day. Well, he walked out, drove himself to the hospital, I drove back, and he never came back. So, in a way, he got his wish, just a little too soon!
It's your time now @grindle, so enjoy it!
