So where does that place me? Does having an SO make me nominally Single? And if so - wouldn't it be a disgrace for the person who started this whole issue about living alone to only be "nominally Single" and not *truely* single? Or do I not spend enough time with my SO to qualify for "nominally Single"? If not, but if I can't be truely Single (having an SO and all) then maybe there could be a whole new type of Single for me. Pseudo-Single (sp?) maybe? ;-) cheers - elizabeth g. purtell (Lady Godiva) Brought to you by Super Global Mega Corp .com
