and, you can forgive people some momentary 'woe is me' time. but it can't be a constant thing.

      - there's that dynamic too, yes. though she imagined we did more than we actually ever did. - kare Jan 5, 11:21
    - oh, if she wasn't the only single person there then she REALLY has to grow up. -- nm - Andie Jan 5, 11:19
