peace: How many times have I said, 'Ok, I'm gonna give it one more shot."? I should go back through my post and count. Maybe it's less than it feels like. Since it hasn't worked in the past, maybe it's time to do things this way - although this really isn't a tactic I'm using, but how I feel. Actually, the last time I made an effort, it paid off a little, only to send H running back in to his tunnel.
UD: I'm definitely open to possibilities, but that is starting to include possibilities that my M won't work out, possibilities of an R with someone else. I'm sure that's not what you meant, but that's where I'm at now. It's a tough place to be.
