I hate the hose thing as well...did they change what they make hose from these days? I don't remember it being such a PITA growing up...
I am sorry your sick and all, for me, being male, being sick turns me into a big baby...so thankfully I have not gotten sick really since BD. Consider yerself hugged from the Rocky Mountains..
The temptations are more than just that...tempted to initiate a R talk, tempted to give ultimatum, tempted to give up, tempted to take a mental vacation with a case of beer and a couple packs of smokes and other things (I quit all that), tempted to have my own private mlc...lol. So yah, that human contact thing is there (must be the spring and more skin thing).
I could go hang out with my old band mates, a couple of their age appropriate female friends had interest, and my new physique might make that more so. But I don't see myself pursuing anything, but I am not as confident how I would react if I were pursued...I don't need any more drama in my life atm.
Like sandi2s list said..."avoid bars and other places"...guess that means a trip to Amsterdam is NOT in my immediate future...
I am glad I made you laugh...this forum is bringing back that part of me that I misplaced somewhere along the way, that W really liked (I still remember the first time I made her bust up REALLY laughing...ok, don't go there T^2).
