H, Pearl, thanks guys for replying so fast! H, I know you've been grappling w this issue. Thanks for your input. I agree I need to ask what this is about before going.

Pearl, like you I really don't want to see H. It just hurts too much. And, since we both have Ls, what could he possibly want to talk to me about? So I like your example. I'm NOT a hard a$$, so I really appreciate your viewpoint. THAT would be a huge 180 for me.

When I agreed to meet in Nov., I think I did a pretty good job of holding my own, keeping upbeat, trying to look good & act calm. But I fell apart afterward. 3 mos. later, have I progressed past this? My reaction to this email tells me I haven't. Guess I'll find out what the heck it is he wants. And see if I can pull off the h.a. 180. Thanks my friends! I'll update you. And I'll check in on you both soon. ((((H)))) (((((Pearl))))))
