I'm glad Mr DG is caring, and hope this hasn't caused any problems.

<Pauses and thinks.> Hang, my Better Half had no problem with my meeting up various folks in Edinburgh and London..... Hmm....

But is the life insurance paid up?

Somewhere, we'll meet for dinner at least. WITH approval of husband.

No, he won't be there.

You guys are the best.

...in which case it may seem to them that we are all there, afterall.

DesertGrandma, I just asked the Muffin Man the hypothetical question about inviting a friend from here to stay the night, and he expressed very similar reservations to DesertGrandpa's. He could fully understand that I'd want to get together at a cafe or something with a guest from out of town, but was reluctant to have a relative stranger in the house. He suggested that we would be hospitable by recommending good, but inexpensive hotels in the area, in addition to a nice welcoming dinner... elsewhere.

Granted the Muffin Man isn't the most sociable, but he has a very kind heart, so I think if he's saying the same as DesertGrandpa, you can stop worrying.

Thank you, neko-san.

I think I forget that since I'm on here just about every day, and feel so comfortable with 'the crowd', I wouldn't hesitate to invite any of you into my home.

My husband, on the other hand, has no outside interests, and doesn't care to cultivate any. I have given up trying to encourage him to do so.

He is a very good, kindhearted man, and i love him dearly. He didn't hesitate when my one and only daughter was pregnant with her first child, putting our beautiful house on the market 2000 miles away and schlepping me cross country so I could be here when the baby was born.
He has been the best life-mate I could possibly hope for, and I'm thankful we found each other, altho a little late in life.

The fault lies entirely with me. Inviting Ricky, without consulting (not asking, mind you , consulting!)with him first, was wrong. In retrospect, I can understand his reaction. Unfortunately, I do have a tendency to speak first and deal with the consequences later.

Maybe we should have a poll on that!

That's because the folks in Edinburgh are civilised - ask Mindy - she'll agree .

In London - well - let's say I've not been there for a few years - but last time I was there (Moodies concert at the Royal Albert Hall) most of the folk we came across were not native Londoners ......

I just hope Ricky doesn't turn out to be male, a hunk, and want me to drive back to Texas with her!/him! How would I explain THAT??

"Honey? You remember that person whom you thought would be a whack job? turns out he wasn't. I'll send you a forwarding address!"

Or something like that.
