@NatureLover yes, on my own for some time,  have a cranky lady that comes here from time to time to help me with paying bills and money, but since the geese attacked her, we are not on speaking terms.  im on her side. i know most of my faults and disabilities, and ill bet theres more than a few i dont. she laughs and shakes her head in despair a lot,  if i pester her with one more question, she will debunk, and new victims are hard to find. the menagerie of animals here sees anything on 2 legs as a possible food source. a lady from the church came once with good intentions and a nice new dress. well swamp thing, my big dog that has a bad habit of rolling around in cow pads, took one look at her and it was love at first sight...  the aftermath...  i copped a big bill, swamp thing left gratified, and the poor lady left with a broadened view of the evils of the world.  i still get cards and letters from all my girl friends past, so how bad can i be... people  seem to find like minded people on the net these days, hence my onerous foray into this world. at least i have a few personalities and we all have each other, sorry about all that , yes i live alone... with my animals.   a warm fairwell from all of us... tonys.
