Many thanks for the kind and encouraging words from everyone. :-) Sndy, thank you in particular. That's very sweet of you. Captain, You've hit the nail straight on the head in the romance department. You have a good day. Junkynfunky, What a coincidence because I am writing a paper *right now* on the socio-emotional relationships in experiences of loneliness, which is a small project I did last year. If you want to know more, email me. :-) Take care.
