Thanks for the ^5 BF. Breaking through my anxiety and BB's resistance is doable but creates anxiety I would rather not deal with. All of that anxiety and resistance wasn't there in our M till the back injury caused lots of little problems and lead to BB crashing SD.

I did some more screw the anxiety thing and gave/took a hug from BB because I wanted one. I did it til I was done despite BB's mind being some where else. I think she liked it but was so focused on her rant about what dumb things people do that get in the news, It didn't appear to me she participated much hugging me back. Oh well I got and gave mine.

Re the dancing experiment:

Right now BB is and has been experiencing some kneep pain. She has some but it gets worse when she doesn't walk much. She gave up walking for exercise in the fall so if I asked her about dancing I think she would see that as me setting her up if she said no.

Before any dancing takes place, she has to do some walking and losten up more.

I didn't want to ignore the good intentions of the SSM posters and NOP. I just had to think and determine how practical dancing would be right now.

I think the T.O.P.S. weight group would be a somewhat similar alternative right now. I an go foor me if BB doesn't want to go and I know BB thinks about the OW in the group. She asked about the few meetings I did attend. I said there was a hottie after me but she used a cane and couldn't catch me.

Well the hottie thing wasn't true. The part about her being after me wasn't true. Only the cane part was true. I didn't tell BB the woman weighed 250# and had bad knees, that is why she used a cane at 50 years of age.
