If you are just entering this story, you may find it beneficial for your comprehension to read the first 3 parts. I will try to finish this for all you who just can’t wait for the end of the story when you already know the outcome! :-) I warn you it’s long! I broke out in a cold sweat!! “Ah, this is Japheth Stauffer from Blackduck MN, and I would like to talk to you about what has been happening this past week. You see, ………” (laughing) ”I told Aimee that she should give me a list of those guys that are acceptable and who isn’t before she leaves. That’s why I almost said, ‘Let me see if your on the list!’” (I had known prior to the call that I was not the first to ask for Aimee’s friendship!) We talked for about 15 minutes and I shared my heart and its desire to be a support to Aimee and the love that I had for her.

My mother often told me, "Never go grocery shopping when your hungry, everything will look good to you and you'll end up with a lot that you don't need or is good for you!"

What to do? Being married has lot’s of problems. One of which is this, when you have a cold, do you still kiss your wife goodbye in the morning as you leave for work? If you don’t, you never know if you’ll get in a fatal accident and never have kissed her goodbye! On the other hand, if you kissed her, she might have a nasty cold for the funeral!! Argh!! What to do!!!! Now I know why all single people smile all the time!
