Just about... :)

 NB> When one is single, there are simply different types of relationships

 MK> Yes.  That does happen although mostly with other single people unless

Relatives probably have to count... whether single or not...!   :)

 MK> For sure.  I used to dwell on that sometimes but so far have remained

There's room for all sorts of lifestyles...  :)  I'm not sure one could
in verity define "normal" desires in some ways.  Either that, or I, and
many of my friends including hubby, aren't exactly normal...  ;)  Like
you, I've never wanted to be a part of suburbia, myself.  Country or city,
yes, both places where one could reasonably expect to be in relationship
with one's neighbors... and generally where the standard of living isn't
pushed up...  

 MK> Now?  I am old and crabby?  :-)
 
Not according to me, anyway... :)

 NB>> spent quietly away from people...   I agree, we'd
probably have a
 NB>> fine time, sipping our scotch and chatting away... :)
 MK> I think it would be fun.  Not too often though as scotch is really
 MK> expensive but I think we'd both enjoy the moment to it's fullest and
 MK> appreciate the moment for what it really is.
 
Good scotch is made to be savored... and shared when possible... :)
I don't begrudge the expense since the bottle lasts a very long time
that way... even sharing...   :)

 MK> Hm.  Always a silver lining.

Best way to look at life, after all... :)
