Well, I try to think of it as friendly, but not a friend if that makes any sense. Yeah, hi, bye, and thanks and just re: to stuff about the kids. I try anyway!!! And I do have some days where I don't feel up to dealing with H and his moods so occasionally I go off or just work out or whatever and just avoid him for a day when I'm feeling weaker or lower PMA or whatever. Because it is hard to be friendly 100%; I mean we're human. I'm still a million times nicer/friendlier than H is to me, so anyway my take on that!!! Karen
