Well preggo, I am a cynic in everything in life except love. No sh^t. You answered you're own question...

My midwife told me this morning, even after hearing the story of H, not to "close any doors permanently." color]

I know you are hard-nosed woman. Hell, I like that about you, one of my weaknesses, but I think you should keep a little place in your heart sort of free of that and make sure it stays there. Let it be around if you need it. You may not, but what the heck? You may.

My sign awhile back was "The Count of Monte Cristo" which came up in numerous places in the course of a week. He took it on the chin, became a great and rich man, started to wreak his powerful revenge and came to a screeching hault when he finally faced the women he had loved and lost (and as BB pointed, he found he was actually in love with his slave girl. Which by the way, I can totally see. They're just so darn hard to find nowadays). But since I had started the signs by saying to someone "I can be just like the Count of Monte Cristo", I guess I'll take it that way.

Keep in touch.
