[QUOTE="LombardiChick, post: 342001, member: 3669"] I searched and didn't see this - I hope I didn't miss it somehow. (Mods, please delete if I've screwed up here.) I think a lot of you guys will find this piece speaks to you the way it did to me. PackerForum.com is mentioned, too. (It's well worth reading the rest at the link.)
