    • Hug

      From cliffskat July 14

      Thanks, Zan! Yes, he makes me crazy (sort of) and I make him stable (sort of), so thus far seems to be ideal for us. :) Right now I'm having to re-learn detachment from worldly goods - I'm selling off everything I own to be able to make the move. You never realize how much 'stuff' you've got until you either (a) have to move it or (b) have to get rid of it. I'm hoping it will be a liberating experience... But send positive vibes just in case! :) Love and Hugs, Martha
