I am so happy to see you posting again (((Eskielover))))
Yes, life alone is certainly different.

I just ran into a very protective police officer (through another bout of credit fraud victimization) He called the investigator and told him I should not be having to travel the state filing police reports.

I've had contractor problems too... but it's stuff my T assures me they try to pull on everyone down here, not just women.
Just today my T was wondering if I could first take a nap before trying to decide what to do...and I replied, yes WE can take a nap...meaning me and my dog.

He laughed with me and remarked how sometimes that's better than someone in the home, who, upon your saying you're hitting the hay replies they are staying up for the news!
