*heh* Yeah, I know what you mean. I've been going through another bit of revelation the past couple weeks.
You've had some interesting movement in your sitch. A lot of pursuit / distance play. That was both promising AND frustrating at the same time. It is good to see the two of you where you are, today. Yes... you have learned a lot and have grown a lot...
I'm pretty ready to get myself that new pair of walking shoes. I don't know about some of the BITS that have been around our time frame who have moved on. Navy is still here. So is alamo and JS... some more at my time like JB and Karma... DG and Val... a few others... but we're a dying breed... The only thing that's stopping me from moving on now, is the expected court ordered child support I will likely be obligated for. I need solid earnings in order to afford it. I wait for that.
As always, your sitch averages on the positive side, so that's great. Like I said and I'm sure others will be chiming in here soon... you've come a long way, baby...
