madame,
you are a character,and i just love it,as i sit here laughing at you and autumn.both of you give good sound advise,but some times the two of you can be quite comical,which is good, for laughter helps those that feel weary on depressed.to feel beter about thier situation.knowing, that there are friends that do love them and care very much about thier wellbeing.
hope your better half is getting better and all of your friends continue doing so as well.
i c l
