I would like to address the topic of marriage etc. One of the biggest griefs in my life is that it is felt by my community that I must NOT marry given my condition. There is no one that will even make me an introduction. I am only able to work part time so my wages are meager and it is felt not sufficient for a family. It hurts me because the community in which I live I am the only single male I know of my age range (31). this makes it even harder to relate and be a part of the group. I have noted a tremendous change in myself these last 5 years because as one by one my friends have married off and the only people I know are single students who now seem to young to befriend as I had once before there is an alienation and emotional isolation that was not there before. well enough of my woes but if you or someone wants to pick up this topic I would appreciate it. -- Uucp: ..!{decvax,oliveb}!bunker!hcap!hnews!260!204!Aaron.Feldman Internet: Aaron.Feldman@f204.n260.z1.fidonet.org
