> Thanks for your reply. I had briefly thought of getting a couple of massages while he was away, but kind of beat myself up for such a dumb idea.
Ooh, not a dumb idea. I'm getting one tomorrow. It's a great thing to do for your body and mind if you enjoy them. I've noticed that when I get them regularly (bless my husband!), I am less stressed. Hmm, maybe that's why he doesn't complain about the cost. He gets a benefit too!
> I try to post, but it's hard for me. I'm more a hide in my shell type. I'll get into a little bit of a roll with posting, but always end up pulling back. And it's not just my T I run from. I run from Babble as well.I do this at times, too. I still read, but sometimes I just don't feel I can post, and I don't quite know why. I think it's okay though. And I bet there are others who feel this way, too.

> Maybe I could just stay inside at Camp Comfort in some sort of garden conservatory. Like a bubble protecting me from the world. With a big neverending revolving bookcase so I could have at my fingertips any book I could ever wish for. That would be nice.Oooh, sounds nice. Of course I would like a garden, lol.
But lately, I've been thinking of Camp Comfort Tropics. Sort of like Jimmy Buffett's "One Particular Harbor"
ONE PARTICULAR HARBOUR
Jimmy Buffett & Bobby HolcombIA ORA TE NATURA
E MEA AROFA TEIE AO NEI
IA ORA TE NATURA
E MEA AROFA TEIE AO NEINature lives (life to nature)
Have pity for the Earth
(Love the Earth)I know I don't get there often enough
But God knows I surely try
It's a magic kind of medicine
That no doctor could prescribeI used to rule my world from a pay phone
And ships out on the sea
But now times are rough
And I got too much stuff
Can't explain the likes of meChorus:
But there's this one particular harbour
So far but yet so near
Where I see the days as they fade away
And finally disappearBut now I think about the good times
Down in the Caribbean sunshine
In my younger days I was so bad
Laughin' about all the fun we hadI've seen enough to feel the world spin
Mixin' different oceans meetin' cousins
Listen to the drummers and the night sounds
Listen to the singers make the world go 'roundIA ORA TE NATURA
E MEA AROFA TEIE AO NEI
IA ORA TE NATURA
E MEA AROFA TEIE AO NEILakes below the mountains
Flow into the sea
Like oils applied to canvas
They permeate through meAnd there's that one particular harbour
Sheltered from the wind
Where the children play on the shore each day
And all are safe withinMost mysterious calling harbour
So far but yet so near
I can see the day when my hair's full gray
And I finally disappearIA ORA TE NATURA
E MEA AROFA TEIE AO NEI
IA ORA TE NATURA
E MEA AROFA TEIE AO NEIUA PAU TE MAITAI NO TE FENUA
RE ZAI NOA RA TE ORA O TE MITIEBounty of the land is exhausted
But there's still abundance on the seaWish I could visit that harbor sometime. Wouldn't it make a great alternative site for Camp Comfort? I especially like the part "where the children play on the shore each day and all are safe within."
