That is a spot on diagnosis MM. Most men shy away from emotional understanding choosing instead to demean it or poke fun at it. And they do so to their own detriment. It's kinda tough to be strong in something you don't understand. The final stage for most is to confuse anger or wrath for strength which actually is quite the opposite. Sad but true.

I am just past the half way point on paying it off, bought it brand new, and I'd be upside down on it. So I want to keep it for sure, I might not be able to work out getting the bike anyway. My GF would probably flip out anyway. Thanks for the input though, I appreciate it. See ya on the boards MuscleMom.

Hey Gorgeous, you are not the only geek, I like Dr. Who to> lol

Thank you Musclemom, You are very special to me,

Oh I definitely agree with you there. She meant someone who had different interests not different values. I was supposed to be equally "yoked" in not only my relationships but my friendships as well....lol they wonder why I was such a defiant kid

Just came by to say hi

Oh man...Elizabth Bathory...I remember reading about her and then seeing something about her on the History Channel on...I think it was vampires? Maybe it was serial killers. Steal life force? What do you mean?

lol... never in a million years. The daughters of moms like that almost always end up ed up in some way....lol...

Thank you. The generosity is almost discomforting in some ways too. I am usually the one volunteering, helping out...being a bleeding heart.I don't know how to say "thank you" as it turns out. I was given a box of thank you cards, envelopes, and stamps and it is a little paralyzing to write the thank you cards. Its like I'm affraid to give away that I'm so vulnerable and grateful. Writing this out here though gives me a new resolve to sit down and finish the cards I have written so far. I have a whole new appreciation for my immediate next door neighbors. They have so little and have given so much of their time, love, tried to give us their belongings.
I met with the structure adjuster yesterday at the house and he is being incredibly fair/generous with the repair write up. I think the house will probably be better than new when its done. The contents don't matter too much..but I really wish I could use my big bathtub! lol, it made being pregnant a lot easier. I also found a pressed glass depression era lamp in my house yesterday..it needs to have new wiring etc but its base and shade were in one piece which was just amazing to me. It's so weird to see what the fire destro and what the fire destro. I'm excited to meet one of the major contractors this afternoon to possibly sign a contract and get this show on the road.

The generosity is mind boggling to me too. And es...similar to a robbery victim I would imagine.
