Sheesh -- is it THAT uncommon? I'd go on and on and describe to you in minute detail the ones I've known (other than the one young man and one gay couple I've already described) but I just can't bring myself to do it! It would take too long, and it would probably convince no one.

Describing the one young man I know right now still feels so uncomfortable, like a blatant breach of privacy. :-(   And what good did it do?

None at all, as far as I can see.   big BIG :-(

I'm have to go pay my bills and get on with my real life now. Thank you all very much for the discussion. It's been quite the interesting slice!

daylia (not to be confused with Kathy Bates, whoever she is. I get the impression she's either some bubblehead with a big bum, or someone like June Cleaver. I'd ask "am I right?" - but I probably wouldn't want to know anyway).
