I don't know how I'd really react if I had a break like that or got rid of them once and for all, but I've had fantasies of it and one thing that came to my thoughts while thinking upon it, and something I've asked the board for there thoughts on it a few times, is that I think we become institutionalized to these things much the way a longtime prisoner gets institutionalized to jail. As badly as they want out, once they leave there is a major part of who they are and what there lifestyle is that becomes missing. I always felt I'd feel like that if there was some respite like you've had or more.
Now ask me if I'd take that option in a frigging heartbeat.
