@msolga,
The impact of this sort of thing is very difficult to describe, isn't it. I'm sorry for your loss, msolga.

@Eva,
Thanks for your commiserations, Eva.
You're right, the impact is very hard to describe, following the initial shock & disbelief.
That was a very important relationship, for both of us, I think. No, I know.

@msolga,
sorry msO...

"I still have the copy of E E Cummings poems (1923 - 1954) which was given to me on Olga's Day in 1969."

you will have to bear with me, as I was just learning to read that year. what is Olga's day, and how does one celebrate it, other than sharing good poetry?

@Rockhead,
Peter was of Latvian descent ... & (unless he made it up, which wouldn't have suprised me at all! Smile ) there are "name days" which are celebrated according to some Lativan calender.
So every Olga's Day for the six years of our relationship I would be spoiled silly ... meals cooked, special outing, gifts ... wonderful!
E E Cummings was his favourite poet & that particular volume had to be imported from the US. And I was treated to a poetry reading, sitting on a park bench, on a beautiful sunny day. I remember it well.
Ah romantic youth, hey?
Yep, us baby boomers are a fair bit older than you, you whipper snapper!

@Region Philbis,
Sounds like California. I guess their gas pumps could be considered vending machines.

@ossobuco,
The fact that I have been waiting 6 weeks for this doctor's appt, got stuck in traffic on the way there, was 10 min. late and the nurse tells me that the doc. can see me "briefly". No way! I drove 1.5 hours to get here she will see me for as long as I need her to see me.

@shari6905,
I've done well over time as bitch on wheels (who, me?).
Not a usual mode.
I've been on the other end of it, not pleasant.

@Walter Hinteler,
Sorry to hear it, Walter.

I haven't been gritting my teeth today. I'm at the public library and there is no piped-in Christmas music here! Oh, joy to the world!

@Lustig Andrei,
I entirely sympathize.

I'm no maven of the intricacises of ear phones but it sounds like you could use some of that technology.

@ossobuco,
I had a set but they broke on me from over-use. Will have to get a replacement set.

@Lustig Andrei,

another Bahstin "we play anything / less talk / fewer commercials" radio station has bitten the dust.
