Re: the Broom, I've frequently run into my She Who Shall Not Be Named's OP when I go over to She Who...'s(that's too damn long a monicker!) place. I have no reaction at all and never give it another thought. I think for you though the broom is still seen as a threat to what you have now, real or imagined. I've lost what I had. Maybe that's the difference, I dunno. Keep your chin up and Zumba away that tension!
