Thanks. Really helped talking about all this. It's all okay. Jewish gals always have a great sense of humor. I married into a Jewish family and now realize I miss that fatalist brand of humor. Divorced. My friend and I were raised Catholic. Twelve years Catholic school. Yuk!

This thread reminded me to maybe also appreciate my solitude more.

PC friends can be invaluable. I have recently noted that PC friends have a very deep understanding of issues, and great compassion.
