Well it has been a little over two years that I found this site. It is now over a year that I am living alone...no pets, weekends with D8. Basically pretty quiet. Very quiet. I enjoy my alone time maybe too much. I find it very difficult to imagine ever living with someone else.....weird. As i mentionned earlier, NGf has 2 large dogs and two cats. I spent some time over there this weekend. Very difficult for me to get used to that....i have had dogs (one at a time) all my life and love them. But 2 dogs and two cats,,,anyhow, I must be turning into a hermit and slightly intolerant.
