^ I've seen a picture of that "24 Hour Fitness" gym that has an escalator to take you to the top of the staircase! My gym is 2 stories and has an elevator inside. I when I see someone take it. Yes, the portion sizes are huge here in restaurants. I greatly prefer to eat-in than eat-out. Whenever I visit the folks, they want to take me out, but I tell them I'd much prefer a home-cooked meal. Sorry about your mother being gone.

Did I say elevator? Yeah, it was an escalator. It could've been this one, but for some reason I remember it different.

I prefer eating in for my obvious reasons... , but I'm not too hot on most restaurant food anyway. I care more for atmosphere than for food. There's rarely any atmosphere here for us smokers, though.

Thank you for mentioning Mom. I miss her terribly.

^ Yes, that's the pic!

My town passed a smoking ban in restaurants (but not bars) effective 1/1/08. What a breath of fresh air it is now (during rare times I eat out).

I bet you miss her, but I hope time has helped heal. I can't even imagine what I'd do w/o my mother and don't want to think about it.

The only distinction needed might be "in the process of divorce, or separated but not legally divorced". BE careful with labelling the never-married group as naive. I would contend the exact opposite.

I'm with you on that! I was married for 12 years & with my xhusband for a total of 14. Then with my x boyfriend for almost eight years.

We are surrounded by women.. or the men are afraid to vote...

**edit note** today is a rough day... making many trivial mistakes.. either 1) I am a goofball or 2) I need to go back to bed!
