LBH, sorry that your posts might not be getting a lot of traffic. That happens sometimes, when it was that way for me I dug into the archives and read...a lot!

About the GAL activities you mentioned earlier, make GALing something that works for you. I happen to be an introvert (although it may not seem that way) and can do things on my own and be very happy. I also have friends that I enjoy activities with but am often fine on my own. Being in a roomful of people I don't know is not a good GAL for me, I like smaller gatherings with people I can actually talk to and maybe get to know.

Let us know how the talk goes.

Let me give up the need to know why things happen as they do.
I will never know and constant wondering is constant suffering.
