How are the kiddos?
 
Kids are great, everyone''s great, thanks for asking.

Gone for a while there because Andrey and I were having a Mexican stand off regarding stupid stuff. I''m a (former) Texan, he''s a (former) Russian, so you can imagine the testosterone that was flowing. Both stubborn as hell. But eventually we came to terms, shook hands, and the rest is history.

Glad to be back.

ha ha ha Richard. I have a lovely single girlfriend, who is a widow. She just turned 59 in March. She has no children. Is that to old for you, or are you looking for a spring chicken tee hee.

I like women my own generation Linda. Those spring chickens speak a different language than I''m used to.

Widow, widower, sounds like we''ve got something in common. Maybe she''d enjoy an email. Do your magic, Linda!

What part of the world is she in?

Hi Al! I see you''ve been promoted. Congratulations. I think.

Yep, this Floridian is transplanted from El Paso, Texas. Another country practically.

Right on both counts, Jewelerman. I''m impressed.

As far as my love for gems & antique pieces, and what keeps me in the trade, it''s very simple. I can''t find a real job.

I will tell you a little about her. She was only married to him for 15 years. He was the love of her life and I introduced them. I am a good match maker, tee hee. She had never been married before. She and I got married the same year, 1981. Like you, she was hoping for many more years with her spouse. She hasn''t dated anyone since his passing in 1996. She and a mutual friend and her hubby come to visit my DH and I, or we drive to the bay area to see them.

Well, if my husband ever follows through on his threat to trade me in for 2 20 year olds, I''ll look you up immediately because I think you are a sweetheart.

California huh?

Geez, could you picked a state a little further away?

She sounds like a sweetheart. Ask her if she''ll drop everything and move to Florida.

So Rich, I just realized that my question does not apply, because you were actually in chiropracic school. I wasn''t wondering how you got involved in gems and and thought maybe you had been a rock or science geek in school.

Soooowa, you must be familiar with and embrace alternative forms of healing. That rocks!! -----pun>
