Ambi,

Job has given you very good advice.

I would say that the sensivity chip is truly broken in the MLCers. I had mine broken when during the Martha Vineyard's family vacation back in 2003 when Ms. Wonka went swimming in the ocean with her sister and she came back to our area with these words, "Wonka, I almost drowned out there!" My response? "Oh" Yep, I was dead and numb inside. Normally, I would be very concerned and fuss over her. sigh

In the mind of MLCer who has already emotionally divorced themselves from the LBS and the M, they are just going through motions and want to get the hell away from you. By giving you these books, H, in his mind, is "helping you", in his own twisted way, to prepare for life after divorce. He is sincere in this. This is where his head is at right now in this moment. Their brains are mush and cannot think things through in a rational way.

Just continue to treat H as a friendly, lost puppy. I think he is one of the kitty kitten MLCers.
