I think it's over.

How sweet, Lindsey. Maybe there's hope for him after all! lol!

Sounds like you have a plan that can help things defuse and settle down, and take care of yourself at the same time. I will be thinking of you and sending you all my best thoughts.

Guitar sounds like fun. I used to enjoy it a lot. Don't forget to check your local craigslist for classes, too. I found our Japanese classes there - we get lessons from a really nice Japanese woman for $10! Amazing! Just make sure you meet in a public place so you are safe with whoever it is - and ask for references first - even personal references so you can make sure whoever it is is known by someone you know or can check out.

Tyler sounds like a good buddy to have. I get tired of my friends who are always trying to give me advice - I just want to be heard and acknowledged. I know what I need to do- just need to talk through the ideas sometimes.

I found new friends when I moved by joining a book group. I also found some great friends through www.meetup.com - have you ever checked that out? There's a local ghost hunting group that is pretty cool, a writing group, a Boston terrier group - lots of folks for me to meet. Meetup is everywhere, I think.

Anyway, glad to hear you feeling better. Hugs!
