Chalalan--So sorry for your heartache, I completely understand how difficult it can be. Even if you don't contribute to any posts, I'm sure it must still be helpful to read what others are writing. I can imagine how hard it would be to have DH away--not only during O, but for 2 mo's at a time! Remember we're here if/when you need us!

Anthonysmom--The thought of bears terrifies me, also, but I've done a lot of camping and have never seen a bear! (Better knock on wood!) Although, I must admit, DF told me that there are many bears at the place that we were supposed to go camping, but we've been there many times and never saw one. We do see lots of men driving around with big shotguns looking for them, though! Hope the rest of your tww flies by--I'm only 3 days into my tww, and feeling like it's going very slowly....

treelo--looks like we're cycle buddies!

pbstar--hope your feeling ok! You're in my thoughts!
