Hi karen
I was wondering where you had disappeared to.

I understand why they do it, and I am butally honest (but humorous) and upfront, about what I want (or dont), where I am at, and who I am. This is partly what I meant by not engaging in rapport.

I feel as if I have lost nearly all of my defensiveness, and bitterness. Its been a year. 6 months of no R's to go and thats fine with me, cause I have a slew of projects I am working on.

Yesterday, I spent with family, and then toured some new hot spots with some new acquaintences sampling the spirits. <--thats for the headache and light sensitiviy.

best wishes for you and the one in the oven.
