i don't want to get off topic. but hopeful said something about missing human contact. i do too. but sometimes it comes at such a price that i would just rather sleep with some cats and dogs. and i also have the problem at work of everyone thinking i'm the one that has the best people skills. if ONLY they knew what i'm thinking part of the time. it goes like this: "what the hell were you thinking, you moron?" "coming in here today and expecting something to be custom framed for you for Christmas?".......i hide it...but occasionally i know a bit of it creeps through. i gave a man all the hardware he needed today to frame his own oil painting so i could get rid of him and i told him that. he died laughing and i also did. but i could tell that he had humour and was self-sufficient. most of them wouldn't know humor if it kicked them in the ***!
