RudeDawg, just setting the record straight, I've not belittled anyone's opinion, and if you read it that way, it's incorrect. The Hunter seemed bitter at personal relationships (leaving him etc)in general. In addition, I truly feel bad for anyone who cannot claim a connection to another human being in some mentoring fashion in their lives. I think it's an empowering experience and wish everyone had their version of it. That's not belittling, it's simply relaying a feeling engendered by a situation related to me. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Yes, my grandmother is a mentor in my book. No doubt most of us could find several people that have influenced our lives if we think long enough.

Now, I do have to admit, I've never been into weight lifting so I can't say how the experience would be for myself, but it sounds like you and the Hunter have very positive feelings in that respect. [img]smile.gif[/img]

I'm glad to hear you and Jo are happy, too. It's a wonderful thing to find someone you can relate to on that level. [img]smile.gif[/img]
