SC>> Maybe one day either you or I or both will be rich. Like you said   
    SC> SC>> though, "don't hold your breath".   
      
    MK> Yeah.  That isn't in the plan here but I am still hopefull.  I am not   
    MK> sure about 'rich' though, or what that might mean.   
      
   Change that to having enough money to be comfortable. Rich would be to have   
   your health and be happy.   
      
      
    SC>> I took enough pictures but unless I had a windfall, I sure can't   
    SC>> print them all   
    SC>> out. Right now they are on either floppies, CDs or my hard drive.   
    SC>> I did print a few out on regular paper, which doesn't come out as   
    SC>> good, but I still have a copy of them.   
      
    MK> Minus the regular printer, that has been my methodology too.  The   
    MK> batch I took (or my daughter) with that camera was overkill with   
    MK> repect to resolution, etc. but this way if I ever get around to having   
    MK> them printed they will be able to stand blowing up to larger sizes and   
    MK> still look sharp, or so my theory goes.  For viewing on the computer   
    MK> they could stamd some trimming byte-wise without suffering.   
      
   I'm not that techno literate. :-)   
      
      
    SC>> Women must be more sensitive to these things. When I got married   
    SC>> my single friends kinda went on their way except for one, but my   
    SC>> ex's single friends still hung around.   
      
    MK> Weird.  I had to start from scratch, except for one who was (is) still   
    MK> married.  His wife was nervous at first but eventually realized that I   
    MK> was problably the safest guy for him to hang out with since I am not   
    MK> prone to sharing or matching up women to my friends ... or even the   
    MK> reverse now that I think about it.  I don't like to be responsible for   
    MK> other's relationships, bad or good.  They should be able to take care   
    MK> of their own in those circumstances.  I know I preferred that for   
    MK> myself so it made perfect sense to me, and still does, that others can   
    MK> handle this aspect of life.  If they can't then I certainly can't for   
    MK> them.   
      
   I'll never be a match maker and don't want anyone trying it on me. Too risky   
   for sure.   
      
      
    SC>> considered contagious, just that both the men and women were   
    SC>> afraid that the divorced one might introduce their spouses to   
    SC>> others to cheat with.   
      
    MK> That seems to be the case, except they have nothing to worry about   
    MK> there.  In fact if they realized the truth then they'd rather their   
    MK> husbands hang out with me since I tend to be suspicious of strange   
    MK> women's motivations and always advise on the side of caution, if NOT   
    MK> advise to the married ones to forget about it and keep their peckers   
    MK> in their pants and their hands to themselves.  ;-)   
      
   hehehe You are a good man. Now if they would take your advice.   
      
      
    SC>> Hey, maybe they will allow us on the ark together. ;-)   
      
    MK> Perhaps.  I haven't asked, have you?  Maybe we should build our own   
    MK> stinkin' ark?  Perhaps Carol will come up with that crabby boat yet.   
    MK> Heh, heh.   
      
   That would be fun, building an ark. Hmmmmm...   
      
      
    SC>> Exactly. When you don't have anything to fight over the messy   
    SC>> divorce is out.   
      
    MK> Seems highly likely but only an observation here.  I wouldn't really   
    MK> know from experience but there does appear to be a corelation.   
      
   Well, in my case, there wasn't even a chance for a custody fight because my   
   girls were over 18 and my son had a choice. He lived with me and visited his   
   dad almost everyday since he lived a few blocks from us.   
      
      
      
    SC>> Well, the drinking wasn't the only problem really. I think it   
    SC>> takes more than one problem for a marriage to end. We just ended   
    SC>> up wanting very different things from our lives and it was best   
    SC>> for both of us to not live together.   
      
    MK> That was the biggie with us.  Our lives went completely different   
    MK> directions somewhere along the line.   
      
   I think that happens to most couples and if they go too far, it just won't   
   work. Some couples do weather it and come out ok though.   
      
      
    SC>> I don't have as many male friends now either, but I also don't   
    SC>> have as many female ones either.   
      
    MK> Same here.  Doesn't really bother me though for whatever reason.  As   
    MK> long as the few are good and true, and I the same to them, then I am   
    MK> relatively happy with that particular issue.   
      
   I kinda like my peaceful life now. :-)
