Ended up getting my money back by filing a chargeback with my credit card company.

Man, I bet that lease is worth more as a souvenir than the store ever made. Probably explains why the mall is belly up now, those deals were way too generous. Guess the landlord figured they'd make it up in parking fees and overpriced Cinnabon rent. Ever check if the terms included a clause about the roof leaking?

Oh man, YES. We did closed with my daughter's birth mom at first and I completely get what you mean. It was like a ghost was just hanging over everything. No updates, no photos, just this weird void. We switched to open about a year ago and it's night and day. She came to her second birthday party and just seeing her cry happy tears when our daughter smashed the cake made everything click. I didn't realize how much I needed that connection too. It's like the tension just melted away once we both could see each other as real people instead of just names on paperwork.

And the thing is both groups are kind of right but for different reasons. Evangelion broke the mecha genre in a way Gundam Wing never tried to. Gundam Wing was pure spectacle with the whole "five Gundams drop from space" thing. But neither panel would even admit the other show had any merit at all. That's the problem with these fan debates. People treat their favorite show like it's their identity instead of just a show they liked as a teenager.
