andy that menapause thing is a real issue. my mom and grandma both went a little wacky during that time. it is a hard topic to discuss. i think if you keep on being supportive and open, she will come around. hanging out with kids and friends is not the same as a m/f relationship. so she is missing out. she may be just so busy now she doesn't feel it. she will. you will be there. she is really lucky. lisa
