@stormy It's a huge deal to purchase over the internet.

@4-K Not really unless one doesn't read ALL THE FINE PRINT! In what sense to you mean? Cost wise, delivery? My only problems have been delivery by our podunk Post Office and not reading the fine fine print that signs one up for monthly CLUB fees or some such! Have been incredibly happy with quality...well, and love home delivery by FedEx and UPS. Love to hear why you don't like ordering over the internet. Think of all the gas and time wasted any other way?

@Stephie Imagine yourself in the future as retired, no longer a sexual item to make babies. Sleeping when you want to sleep, rising when you want to wake up, eating only what you crave and being very snobbish with your choices, holding your grandchildren as long as you want and then handing them back to mom 'n dad...being able to shop for cool toys and children's clothes, having a great triple macchiato by yourself then going home to a super book you could finish that night if you wanted.

@Stephie And eat a dinner with hubby who brought home a damn great bottle of vino, candle light when you want, curling up to watch an ancient movie such as Avatar or some sappy series for the 20th time. Laughing so hard you pee your pants (or worse, trust me not only skin gets looser), deciding the next vacation will be a car camping venture to a not so hard to get to place. Deciding the only pet you'll adopt will be a cat. Enjoying a tiny garden or hiring someone else to do the hard work

@Stephie Sorry, I can get going (no kidding, grins??) You'll be fine in your next role whatever it is before the retirement stuff. Just make sure you LOVE the job, not the money and not the work it takes to please a boss. The best way to 'make money' especially as smart, knowledgeable, strong as you sound is to be 'self employed', you be the boss! I've had 7 or 8 businesses of my own and trust me it is the only way to do yourself justice in the job world. You are what? Early 30's?
