Dear Warm Ashes,
great to have you on "board" <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" /> .
Just a little suggestion to make life better for you and your partner.. if she comes home really tired... massage! Rub her feet.. her back.. she'll be eternally grateful and you'll get some of the intimacy you need. If you think you're no good at it.. go attend a course and learn! It's fun!

Dear brownhair,
Thank you for your welcome and your great ideas. My partner was reading over my shoulder when I pulled up your post and she thanks you even more !! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

Hmmm. Warm ashes' partner should be named..... hmmm.

Hot sparks?

Cool breeze?

Daffodils?

S'mores?

So many options, so little time. Well, whatever.

Hiya Warm Ashes' Load of Firewood!! Welcome to MB!

Hi JJ,
Glad/surprised to hear from you again over the W/E. I guess my partner does need a name if we are going to be chatting some more. How about.......Gobot????? She chose it ! She says it has no meaning, but hey, what do I know ! (sounds a little like robot to me ???..... It feels a bit uncomfortable from my end, sort of like she feels impersonal)
I have a number of other other things that I would be happy to run by you , if you have the time and inclination. What's the best way to do that ?
I thought you were taking some off time this W/E ?
Gobot and I were going through the POJA today in some detail and you could almost see the hair on the back of her neck stand staight up. She thinks it's "ridiculous", but said she is willing to give it a try. I wish she was a little less biased, but "willing to try" is a start. Do you have any suggestions ?
Will look forward to hearing from you. WA

Hmmm. This is what I get for getting distracted by work.... two weeks go by and I look like an idiot for not responding. I'm very sorry, WA!! I'd love for you to run some more things by me. MB is not actually the best way to do it -- I'm very hit-or-miss here. The best ways to reach me are via e-mail (in the signature line below) or to post over at SYMC. The SYMC gets a lot less traffic, so I'm much less likely to lose things.

Hey Warm -

Good to see you on the front page again, thanks to JJ!

What is a gobot? Reminds me of gogert, my daughter just loves those.

I hope all is well in the countrysides of Toronto for you and Ms. Goboto. Or would that be Gobota?

I'm spending another meaningless weekend alone. Got some new books but can hardly get through them. One is "Why Men Love B**tches" and the other is "Confessions of a Womanizer". Just finished "When your Lover is a Liar" & "Love Must be Tough".

And I wonder why no one can have a normal conversation with me. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />

Dear Weaver,
So glad to hear from you ! Actually I have been working with the forum quite a lot, trying to help out where I can. Things are considerably better here at home (but it takes an ongoing effort...to be expected !) I believe a lot had to do with some serious changes in my own perpective. So much to thank you all for ! Some time when you have nothing better to do you can go to the directory and you can read what I've been up to ! The connection at MB has been a tremendous lift for me in so many ways. How was that special W/E you were heading out to the last time we chatted? How come you are alone this W/E reading ???? I don't mind being alone so much as I used to. In fact I rather enjoy my own pursuits and company. I read a lot among other things ! The car comes into being next week... so we'll see....... I am a strange creature. I love people, love animals, love many things, but it's about balance ! That's the fine art of living isn't it !??
Thanks again so much for thinking to write. You were are special ! Hugs, <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />
