hi wally >>>>>>>>>>my commitment ceremony will be on december 27, my birthday. it might interest you to know that i'm getting a ready-made family in the bargain: FOUR children (though all of them of age, thanks god).<<<<<<
congratulations!!! i wish you all the happiness in the world & itll be good to have you back & active on the list :-) >>>>>>>>and then it's off to city hall to litigate litigate litigate until we get official recognition of our partnership, which can be done but might take some ass kicking.<<<<< can i throw in a nbote of caution??? just be careful - there are a lots of stresses & strains in the legal process esp where a relationship is involved. i knew a women in cape town who went through a similar process, going all the way to the constitutional court, won a tremendous battle for same sex marriages here, and set a precedent for their recognition under law. unfortunately they neglected their relationship, it never recovered from thbe stresses, and they went their separate ways a few months later, much to the harm of everyone involved. now im not sure what may be involved in your case, & whether it is anythging like a similar process - just be aware of the strains the process may involve!!! so, after that somber note - glad to have you back here!!! ron np - patty larkin - angels wings
