I think I know what Matthew means about "falling in love" and I do it too. It's not in the least a question of romantic fantasies! -- It's a joy and a delight that there are such warm, sparkling, fun, interesting people in the world and *I'm getting to talk to them!!!* -- There have been a couple of times when I've said to Bill that I was "madly in love" with some mudcatter just because said mudcatter came up with a wonderful, off-the wall, witty, clever, *delightful* comment and it made me happy. -- But, thinking it over, I don't think I've ever expressed myself quite that way when the 'catter was female! -- more likely to say something like, "I do like her!" or, "doesn't she say neat things?" -- Rita F
