| I'm 41 and I don't even feel like an adult. I'm like I was when I was a child, just with more responsibilities. My responsibilities aren't too bad, so I don't sense anything to wish to "escape" from. |

| I find these replies to be interesting. I very rarely feel "lonely". I'm perfectly at peace being by myself. Most of the time I don't even try to initiate contact with others. |

| I voted yes but I don't really know. My mother passed away last year, and my father was bed-ridden for about six months before dying May 2. So I'm on my own for the first time ever. it's a desolate feeling, isn't it? http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/ff2/n1covav1e/17395myq40cmfs4.gif Yes, it is. |

Since this post my father passed away and my brother is still away so I'm by myself for the foreseeable future. |

| I never had to drive much until a few months ago. I drive OK but try to avoid major highways unless it's absolutely necessary. |

| I've been called for jury duty twice. The first time I wasn't selected for the jury, but the second time -believe it or not - the judge named me the foreman! |

| Back when I was in my late 20s, it seemed like everyone thought I looked about 8-10 years younger than I actually was. That was a long time ago and I don't know if I still look that young. |

UPDATE:
Things have settled down a bit here. I spoke with a nurse's aide today and she cleared up my responsibilities a bit. I have a better idea what I have to do. Tomorrow night I have to drive to his pharmacist to get medical supplies, which has me a little worried but shouldn't be a problem. |
