So here is the update: Today I met with an Insurance representative, Judy. She said any "upgrade" I agreed too is between me and the wig shop. I said: "But I'm supposed to agree up front right?"

Anger is (to some degree) socially acceptable. Not crazy anger, but anger directed at a "cause" or "unjust" situation. People tend to see it and think, "wow, so and so is so passionate." Or if the person isn't likeable.."so and so is deranged about that topic." heh Constant a nger is a luxury mostly reserved for younger people, because once you get a few years on ya, you realize, pffffft...I
