Thanks, Mike.

I hope so, also.

I'm actually happier when I'm away from home than when I'm at home, which makes me ill.. since it's obviously supposed to be the other way around.

[bat_collector]

how long have you been out of town now?

[Argonus]

A few weeks, due to business and my Grandmother's 89th birthday bash down here in CA.

By the way, I'm a hugely optimistic person.. most of my friends and family have told me they would have jumped ship over a year ago. I'm either stubborn or stupid.. or both.

If only...

Come to Texas! She'll never think to look for you here!


Seriously, though, I hope you and Cyn can get things worked out so that you're both happy. You're a good guy -- you deserve to have a happy home.

Thanks for clearing that up.. I thought TSO stood for "Tickle Steve's Ovaries".

Thanks for the info, Steve.. I'll definitely check that website out.

The response was overwhelming and the core of the band (Jon Oliva, Chris Caffery, Alex Skolnik) tour every year as the Trans-Siberian Orchestra. They have 3 Christmas themed CDs, one non-holiday themed (Beethoven's Last Night), and will be releasing a new non-holiday themed CD NIGHT CASTLE. They have box set of all 3 Christmas CDs here....check out some of the other merchandise, the Hildebrandt brothers did a lot of artwork for them! http://transsiberianorchestra.shop.b...px?cp=572_3265

Ry, there was a very rough time shortly after Donna and I got married (we had lived together for 4 years prior) and we actually spearated for about 3 months....that was 8 years ago. Things in life are often not as easy as they should be, or that we want them to be. Bottom line is to really figure out what is best for you....but to come to that conclusion fully and in a clear state no matter which way you go. Just my experience to hopefully help you during yours.

I assumed it was code for me that meant 'Tickle Steve's Onions.'

Here's TSO's official web site:

I honestly kind of want to "start over", I'm only 33...

We'll see what happens. If only one person is making the effort to improve the relationship, that person can go 90%, but if the other person refuses to go that last 10%, you're still boned.

Thanks Doug.
