welcome back birdlady!
i think mauv has the right of it, to get out there and do something. i've spent the last few years annoyed at him going out to play D&D and being addicted to the mmorpg's (yes, i'm lucky, i get both *LOL*). I'm learning to just deal with it and know that it's something he enjoys that it isn't something against me personally.
I'm still working on the finding something to do part though. *L* Hard when you don't have a car and the most social you get is posting here.
Actually, I now have a date on friday nights to call my family through google talk. we get to talk for free, the connection is better online than over the phone because they are over seas, and it's fun to get to catch up with them.
