Would be good if I actually read everything on the screen! Yes, the film I was thinking of was obviously 'The Shining'. Darn, I nearly had it there! 
I don't understand why you would use him as THE male to represent ALL men Is there some embedded message in that? But then, we've removed 'rationality' and 'accountability' from the equation, so I guess you might not understand why you used him either!!! 
just read this wonderful news. Congratulations to you and Iceman!!! Wishing you forever happiness together, and to both a long and healthy life. Let us know what your bouquet flowers you choose,lol. 
You might stumble a bit along the way, but it might be worth a try, so you don't lose money hand over fist. Meantime, get it rented again, quick, even if only for 6mth lease renewable 
Good luck.
But then, if I really don't feel up to it if I'm really tired, I just take a detour for maybe a yummy Thai dish, or anything quick and tasty that someone else prepares for me while I sit back enjoying a glass of wine 
Just an opinion though,lol.
(gotta practice for when u visit )
Can take u and your friend wine tasting in the gorgeous Barossa region or our fab beaches, or even hiking through ancient hillsides/cliffs with waterfalls, and tons more. LOL
. Also, down to mykonos to visit friends and stay for free on their resort. And if anything happens to be after that, at least I've had the time of my life!!!
You seem like a real cutie, you're welcome here too!

RE: Anyone quit smoking recently?
Hi Hondo,I have never smoked, but help people quit all the time. Bit far away for direct help, but can offer few suggestions:
1. Start to think of yourself, and feel like you are a non-smoker. Picture yourself as one. Do this many times a day, and preferably when you can take a few minutes out, to sit/lie down and relax, close your eyes, focus on your breathing.
2. Get your living environment to reflect that you are a non-smoker: get rid of ashtrays; throw out any cigs you have at home. If you can't yet part with them, place them somewhere that is really difficult to get to eg high up on a kitchen cupboard; wash out any clothes, curtains, have lots of fresh air into the home; clean out your car. When you do throw out any packets of cigs/tobacco, make it a bit of a ritual, say your goodbyes in some way to affirm you are a non-smoker.
3. See a good hypnotherapist who is also a psychologist if you need extra help
4. Avoid any drugs/patches, if you can, as you're trying to get the rubbish out of your system, not replace it with more.
5. Remember, it takes 3 days for nicotine to leave your system. Thereafter, it's the habit component.
6. Make sure you address whatever may be the possible triggers, eg, with a coffee, a drink, when feel anxious, angry, when with others who smoke....Then break that chain of events
7. Redirect the energy that you normally would use to smoke a cigarette, to something more positive and constructive, eg, more work, go for a walk, have a glass of water, make a phone call to a friend, etc
All the best!
