Asha,

Yes, we all enjoyed our day in Woodstock. I even tracked down some concentrated Patchouli oil for him to smell, to see if he remembered smelling it. He did. Personally I'm not partial to Patchouli oil.

An interesting thing happened in Woodstock. A young guy came up to us with a dog on a leash. He started talking to us and tied his dog to a bench. Isis was the dog's name and she was a friendly sweet natured dog. The guy came out of the shop, started chatting to us again, introduced himself as Daniel and quite happily talked to us for a half hour or so. Daniel walked away with Isis and Peter says what a friendly chap.... Lou and I laughed and said Peter, this is Woodstock!

Pam:

are you sure he (Daniel) was not associated with Amway, I have burned by these Amway agents more than few times that now if anybody tries to be too friendly I get suscipicious of their ulteriro motives

Amway is pyramid chain kind of business which I don't want to get involve in

Glad you will getting back to normal, it is fun to have company but it is also nice to see them go..lol

I live in a small town and people here are very friendly and stop and chat, especially if you are walking a dog.

I like small towns.. just not a city girl I guess..

It is nice to see your independence..

Hey Pam,

Glad you're back! I've missed your input these last few weeks, you always have something interesting to say.

As far as venus and mars goes...

I found it liberating to realize I was alright by myself (I at that point preferred it!), that I could have a boyfriend but not have to LIVE with him, and if I had NO man...NO PROBELM! (of course I met my husband shortly after I had the realization, so I think I having this mindset took the pressure off the relationship, and we were able to become really good friends).

I hope you are doing well!

i as separated and single for four years. i had a similar experience to Kristin's with John. then, after we got married, and he started to show symptoms of Traditional American Male Disease (TAMD), i became significantly frustrated and annoyed part of the time. Living in a very large (2500 sq ft, floors) was a mixed blessing-i had enough space to get away from him and breathe, but i was upset because he acted like his mother was still here to clean up after him. he had a brief remission, but then we had the car crash and he became unable to do a lot of thinss that he used to do because of his TBI. his family abandoning him after the car crash didn't help. adding Lexapro, taking John to a neuropsychiatrist who changed his meds, talking about it with my therapist, talking about it with others, John talking about it with others, and talking about it with John really helped make things better.

still, if i was single now, i wonder...

BTW, my breadmaker isn't going to be shipped until after 10/19. it's backordered.

glad to have you back.
