Thanks, LMo. I kind of see your point about the conclusions I've reached. A good friend of mine has told me the same things, also from a woman's perspective and that I should see all that's happened as a positive. I wish I could but I can't.

I'm just SO used to rejection, I feel the towel should be thrown in.

Did I say towel? Here comes a South Park quote: "Everyone could use a fresh towel!" LOL LOL
