bigybiz,

I'm not Sandi, although I do, on occasion, like to throw on a nice floral dress and some pumps and maybe a touch of makeup. But I digress...

I suspect if more of us LBSs would focus on good GAL activities then we wouldn't even have to worry about detaching. I think detaching is one of those things where the more you think about it and dwell on it, the less detached you become because you're thinking about attachment when you're trying to detach. (I've gone cross-eyed.) Or something like that; you get what I mean.

So, my Rx for you is to stop worrying about detaching and start GALing. I've got a GAL in Kalamazo...

As usual, I could be way wrong so take it for what it's worth.
