Thanks for the input everyone. Update----we sat down and had a talk Sunday afternoon. Actually a good talk! She did indicate that it bothered her that I didn't say "Yes or No" right away. (I did acknowledge that I had heard her at the time-just didn't commit to which way I would answer.) We discussed something that we both have recognised many years ago, just still haven't worked out a good way to deal with----and that is that I need time to think about almost anything for a minute before I answer, and that she is much more of a immediate response personality. We still haven't come up with an answer to this other than it is just necessary to learn to tolerate (who knows-maybe even eventually embrace that particular difference). I did ask her to go hottubing Sunday night. Enjoyed about 1 1/2 hrs swimming and in the hottub. Harv
