I think you are fine, men LOVE to be asked their opinions. After this quest, though, I'd back off and watch what happens. This is advice Michele frequently gave me.
Here is my first 'official' thread that shows. I don't know about the mechanics waybackwhen. I first posted in Jan 2001, but that doesn't show. Board issues were so different then.
This is for YOU. Don't exactly rememeber why I posted it, but I do remember reading a lot of Rumi. I hope it's useful to you, either way it's sent with love. You are a wonderful person, and a special DBer near to my 'anniversary'.
