Oh, Silver Fox, You are so sure footed. Please do not doubt yourself.

Keep condo shopping!! I thought you had one in mind...

I think you should notice your H's birthday. I 'noticed' mine! What I did was load up on a lot of cat toys! I sent them off with and a cute cat card!! {There are so many!!!} I enclosed a Bob Dylan CD. I am not certain that would be alright for you, but use your good sense of humor to jack with him.

I would LOVE a younger man, but your experience makes me careful. I will search out an older guy next time! I will cherish him! And the one after him!! Do you feel discordant with the age difference? Did it matter early?

Your H has missed out. I bet he regrets it all very soon! I am supposing you don't. There is a point where we stop imagining it will be okay, if only. I am sorry for his appendicitis. His timing was horrific. Throw him some cat snacks.

And so it goes.
